WWE NXT 28/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

A very enjoyable edition of NXT and I know NXT is under an hour and it's a lot shorter than the main roster shows but this show felt shorter like 10 minutes short.

Io Shirai vs Cami Fields.

This episode started off with a theme song by Io Shirai that is actually growing on me week by week. Cami Fields has a very good look but she needs some character work and I hope WWE works on that at some point. Io Shirai won the match with a submission move that utilizes her thighs but I don't know the name of that submission manoeuver.

After the match, Io waited to destroy Cami with a kendo stick she brought up to which Candice LeRae rushed to the ring and Io ran like when your father came home after he found out that you skipped school. Can this feud please be for the NXT women's title at some point please the NXT creative gods, please?

Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic.

Did this match live up to the hype? To quote Stone Cold Steve Austin "Oh Hell Yeah". Also, didn't know notice that Djakovic has new theme music but now I do. Dominic kicked Keith's head off with that big boot.

Both men then tried to hit a suplex but Lee twisted the arm and hits an elbow strike. Lee did a crossbody and then minutes later, a pop-up chokeslam of some sort on the ring apron which was devastating to look at. Dominic countered that with a corkscrew moonsault on the outside and another moonsault this time inside the ring to a near fall.

Keith shocked the crowd and me with that Spanish fly from the top rope. The match ended with Dominic carrying Keith in the torture reck into a knee strike to win this epic match. Probably one of the best big men matches I've seen in a very long time and yes, it is a hight praise they certainly deserve. Congrats on both of those guys for that performance. So good.

Then, they played a highlight package of Johnny Gargano's run in NXT and Shane Throne approached the commentary team saying that why shouldn't the commentators focused on his winning streak which led to a commercial break. The way they went to commercial made me laugh unintentionally.

Shayna Baszler Encountered A Huge Surprise.

Mia Yim frustrated on not getting the opportunity on facing Shayna Baszler but you know who is facing the submission magician? NXT UK's own Rhea Ripley and she got a huge pop from the audience. Rhea grabbed the microphone from Baszler and she acknowledges that Baszler has dominated this division but she hasn't beaten her "bitch".

I know I simplified the promo but God almighty, that was a great promo and segment overall. Rhea being the opponent adds a lot of intrigue in this feud and I think it makes a lot of sense that Ripley is the new challenger given that Shayna pretty much beat everybody. Really curious as to how Mia Yim fits into all of this.

The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

The crowd at one point, chanted "we want the smoke" (crap, I love the full sail crowd). The match started at a slow pace like most wrestling matches which by the way, is not always a bad thing.

Dawkins gave a huge comeback with a double clothesline to Fish and O'Reilly including a vicious spear to Fish. The final match of this episode ends with O'Reilly hits the high low with the help of Bobby Fish and The Undisputed Era became the first-ever 3-time NXT tag team champions.

If you watched RAW this week (which you can click here to read the whole thing), then you wouldn't be surprised at that finish given that The Street Profits had their segment on RAW without those belts. Nevertheless, this was a good tag team match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Rhea Ripley showing up, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee, The Undisputed Era vs The Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Didn't like: Nothing.

Didn't expect an early review huh? I had some free time and I was like "why not watch NXT live and review it for you guys to enjoy?"

WWE NXT 18/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The first and the upcoming NXT TV episodes with an hour added to it and was it any good? Honestly, it was great. Really liked how they implemented NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live. The only thing I could critique is that the pacing was a bit off but I'm sure that Triple H and the rest of the creative team will handle that in the near future. There was a different intro narrated by Triple H basically putting NXT over which was great. Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair vs Mia Yim vs Candice Lerae. Winner Gets To Face Shayna Baszler For The NXT Women's Championship. Mia Yim at one point, hits the toe pay suicida (yes, I pronounced it that way sue me) Mamma Mia to most of the competitors and then, The genius of the sky does something genius in her element with a moonsault on everybody (that first line made no sense Omar, what is wrong with you?). The match ended with a reverse hurricanrana and a springboard moonsault to become the number one contender for the NXT wome...

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match. Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship. During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit. This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope. A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...
