WWE NXT 25/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not as great as last week's show but it was a good effort overall by NXT. 

Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic.

A rematch from a fantastic match several weeks ago and no surprise, it was amazing. After a test of strength being implemented by both guys, Lee hits a quick crossbody. 

Djakovic then delivered a chokeslam to Lee on the ring apron. Lee countered that devastating moment with an impressive one with a moonsault from the middle rope.

A Canadian destroyer and a moonsault from Djakovic later and Djakovic was shocked that Keith carried him to which Lee delivered a modified jackhammer to win this match.

And yes, it was a 50/50 booking but WHO. THE. HELL. CARES!? That is what I call a wrestling equivalent of a delicious entree.

Dakota Kai vs Taynara. 

WWE Photo
Nice seeing Dakota Kai once again. The New Zealander won the match with GTK or the go-to kick. 

The Street Profits cut a promo earlier about their tag team title match next week against the Undisputed Era and how they will capture the titles once more. I don't mind it given that the tag team division is kinda weak right now. 

Killian Dain vs Matt Riddle. Winner Gets An Opportunity To Face The NXT Champion Next Week For The NXT Championship.

Mauro Ranallo was right in that the first half of the match was executed as a normal match but that wasn't the case during the commercial break where Riddle hits Dain with a series of strikes via a Kendo stick. 

Dain would actually destroy somebody with that suicide dive to Riddle but Riddle managed to get back up.

Eventually, they brawled near the stage area which led to Dain delivering a crossbody to Riddle through a wooden wall. Matt then hits a knee strike through a steel chair to Dain followed by an armbar and he won this match…bro. 

WWE Photo
After the match, Adam Cole showed up inside the ring to say that Riddle is not on his league but he shut him up with an armbar and the rest of the Undisputed Era ran to the rescue and fortunately for Matt Riddle, he escaped immediately. A very fun encounter. Can't wait to watch this NXT match title next week though. 

Rhea Ripley vs Kayden Carter.

Formerly known as Lacey Lane. The 2018 Mae Young classic tournament competitor was very impressive but that wasn't enough because she got riptided by Rhea Ripley. 

Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch vs Ever-Rise. 

WWE Photo
Ever-Rise were surprisingly dominant throughout this match for the most part. Danny Burch makes a comeback with European uppercuts and a series of chops on both members of Ever-Rise which led to a double team DDT finish and won the match. 

If they give Ever-Rise more Ws then the NXT might have another legit tag team because they were impressive in this match. 

Cameron Grimes vs Raul Mendoza. 

WWE Photo

Raul dodged a running stomp from Grimes moments after the bell has rung. They collided with their lower chests. The match has ended with a running stomp from Grimes and the North Carolina native won the match. 

This felt like a typical cruiserweight match. It wasn't great but it did its job of executing a decent encounter though. 

Kushida And Two Mystery Partners Vs Imperium in Alexander Wolfe, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel. 

WWE Photo
The two mystery partners Kushida brought in were The Fashion Police in Tyler Breeze and Fandango which got a negative reaction from Nigel (that made me laugh). 

The babyface team were in the zone throughout the first half of this match but Barthel delivered a vicious European uppercut to Tyler Breeze. Tyler Breeze tagged Fandango and Fandango tore the house down with a dive on the heel team.

WWE Photo
Kushida led his team to victory with a bridge roll up to Barthel he encountered a big boot from Walter. To quote in the style of Asuka, Nobody is ready for Walter. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic, Killian Dain vs Matt Riddle. 

Didn't like: Nothing. 

Now, you're probably asking "Are you going to review AEW?" as a matter of fact, yes but I don't want to review NXT and AEW Dynamite separately at the same day hours apart because usually, I put a lot of thought and effort in my reviews and I don't like to rush my reviews like that. 

So, I'm here to tell you guys that starting next week, I'm combining my reviews for both shows with a different format called "My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays". The format is simple. 

In each show, I'll tell you my highlights, some other things that I thought was fine and stuff that I thought was lame. Hoping that you guys will enjoy the format and this review. Follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. As always, stay safe smarks.

2020 was to quote the 5 News Week Look Back article , "eventful, awful, wild and surprisingly quick."  That doesn't mean there weren't some good wrestling to watch on television so here it is.  My and I repeat MY top 5 best TV matches of 2020. some images via WWE.com #7 Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin. AEW TNT Championship Semi-Finals Bout.  This list includes two matches that starred two people with fantastic chemistry. One of them is this gem of an encounter between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. All elite wrestling has introduced a brand new championship for the mid-card and was contested via a good old fashioned tournament.  The matches were fine but one of them stood out amongst the rest.  That, of course, being the Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin bout at the tournament's semi-finals.  Allin actually pulled off a crossrhodes that looked so good that I don't mind him adding it to his arsenal.   The finish was executed a bit poorly which is why it is lower...
