WWE Smackdown Live 17/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live was like Clash of Champions, okay overall. That’s it. 

Oh, you wanna know why I feel this way? Okay, well here you go. 

The New Day vs The Revival And Randy Orton.

This show started off with a match. A 6 man tag team match in fact which is a nice change of pace. for this show. Wish I could say the same thing about this match. Not that I have a problem with this match but rather it was okay. The match ended with Big E preventing an RKO machine and Kofi delivers the trouble in paradise to win this match but then, out came Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman and no, it's not a typo.


Heyman said that it's a bad day for the New Day yes it is and was informed that Brock Lesnar challenges Kofi to match for the WWE title on Friday Night SmackDown premiere on FOX. Kofi accepts it and ate an F5 afterwards. 
Kofi will defend the WWE Title against Lesnar on Friday, Oct. 4, the premiere of SmackDown LIVE on FOX!

This is no pun intended, big news and Kofi has faced Lesnar before so will the outcome be the same on Friday? Will find out soon. Also, when they put the match graphics later in the night, they played that theme song and I'm not feeling it right now. 

Erick Rowan had a sit-down interview with Micheal Cole about Luke Harper's return and his win at Clash Of Champions thanks to Harper and he said that he no longer wants to be a follower but rather a leader. Meh. 

Ali vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

The match hasn't begun thanks to Sami Zayn distracting Ali which led to a Kinshasa but after that beatdown, Kevin Owens came out with his lawyer I suppose and Shane McMahon brought up paperwork as well as Kevin Owens along with a mic. 

Kevin Owens told him about the paperwork which is a lawsuit in which he gets somewhere in the 20 million dollars range and he did this to embarrassed Shane because he feels that he’s been treated unfairly. I don't blame the guy, pay your bills man. 

Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks.

Before the match, Offset from Migos introduced Charlotte Flair which was nice. Charlotte took out both Banks and Bayley with a moonsault. The match ended in a DQ because Bayley put her hands on Flair after Flair did the figure 4.

A 2 on 1 beating later and Carmella came out to even the odds. I forgot to mention this in my RAW review yesterday that the RAW women's championship will take place inside hell in a cell and I can't wait for it. The match was aight. By the way, Carmella of all people makes the save? Bayley and Carmella were good friends in real life but that wasn't referenced at all on TV so? 

The Coronation Of King Corbin. 

Corbin cracks a bunch of height jokes and claims that Chad is like all these people because all their dreaming and hard work will still result in them coming up short!

After he wore the cap and the crown, Corbin cut a promo basically saying that he's the king that everybody needs and calls out one of the finals of the king of the ring tournament which was Chad Gable.

King Corbin made short jokes and Gable wasn't having it which led to Gable destroying the crown, the cap and that stick that I don't know the name of. The fact that Chad is getting featured after the tournament is really nice. That segment was decent though. 

Heavy Machinery vs The B Team.

This match was one-sided aka it was a squash match (no shit, Omar). Heavy Machinery won the match with the compactor. 

Daniel Bryan Speaks After He Ate An Iron Claw Two Weeks Ago. 

Bryan recalls being the one to give Erick Rowan a chance when no one else would and winning the SmackDown Tag Team Titles together and claims he always treated Rowan as his friend.

So, Daniel Bryan came out to talk about Erick Rowan and how he feels betrayed because he's treated Rowan nothing but the utmost respect. 

Speaking of the devil, out came Erick Rowan and he told him that he's basically tired of being a puppet and Luke Harper sought attacked Bryan and they ganged up on the former planet's champion. The Big Dog makes the save but that failed thanks to a powerbomb on the ring post and a double crucifix bomb to Bryan through a table.

Just like Charlotte, I guess Bryan is a face once again and I'm not feeling it at this moment. However, Rowan and Harper have looked strong for the second night this week and honestly, I'm impressed. 

I mean they were built up pretty nicely before and they ended up being not interesting and gone nowhere if that makes sense so I hope that it's not the case this time. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: the ending, Chad Gable being a major feud.

Didn’t Like: Carmella showing up made no sense.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
