WWE RAW 7/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode was something I've not felt in weeks on the red brand and the feeling was boredom for the most part. That show was also skippable. 

So much so that I thought of not reviewing this episode but there were things I actually liked so I want to talk about that too. 

Rusev vs Randy Orton.

The match hasn't started because Randy Orton and Baron Corbin were ganging up on Rusev but a strange (Bobby Lashley) familiar foe to Rusev, was at his house and chilled in Rusev's bed.

Lana joined the fun and Rusev took his frustrations by beating up Orton and Corbin hard. I'm glad that Rusev showed some aggression which I was worried that he wouldn't. 

The only thing I could critique about this whole thing is that we don't get to hear Lana's side of the story as to why she cheated on Rusev?

Lana was once loyal to her man and now she just turned the other way to end her relationship. Hopefully, they actually address that in the coming weeks. 

Natalya vs Lacey Evans In A Last Woman Standing Match.

This match surprised me in the sense that it's actually good? The way Natalya sold Lacey's suplexes on the outside was great. Natalya won her match with a powerbomb and threw Lacey on a table near the stage area to win her match. It's also Lacey's best match yet so good on the Sassy Southern Bell. 

WWE Photo
Somebody we haven't seen in months is Aleister Black and he basically wanted anybody to knock on his door in order to fight with Black. They're really playing this game again or did he change his mind? 

The Street Profits put over the Draft which is coming this Friday on Smackdown and then, Tysons Fury was interviewed by Charly Caruso about what happened between the undefeated boxing champion and the monster among men? 

Fury said that he wanted an apology and if he doesn't get it then he'll get his hands. Nice playing with words Tysons. 

The Viking Raiders vs Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler (aka the odd couple). 

WWE Photo
This was pretty good. Ziggler hits Erick with a DDT outside the ring which definitely slowed the match down when Roode locked in the chin lock on Erick. Erick eventually tagged Ivar and he threw Ziggler and Roode with the back body drop.

The RAW tag team champions then delivered a tag team zig-zag spinebuster combination to Erick which looked amazing. 

Ziggler got a Viking Experience and that's how the Viking Raiders won the match. It looks like we're getting a tag team championship so that should be fun. 

Aleister Black vs The Bollywood Boyz. 

WWE Photo
Aleister knew how his requests play out so he fought a match on his own terms against 205 live's own the Singh Brothers. 

Black won the match not with the black mass but rather with the dragon sleeper to Samir Singh. I'm glad he changed his perspective. Those dark room promos were so God damn played out. 

Charly Caruso interviewed Rey Mysterio about what happened to him on RAW last week and Cain Velasquez's WWE debut. Rey said that when you mess with Cain's Godson in Dominic, you mess with Cain Velasquez. 

The O.C vs Lucha House Party. 

WWE Photo
AOP cut a very decent promo about why they're known as AOP during The O.C's entrance. Lince Dorado delivers a great crossbody to Karl Anderson but that wasn't enough because The O.C won their match with the phenomenal forearm to Kalisto. 

After the match, Anderson and Gallows took out Metalik with the magical killer and a top rope styles clash to Dorado. An okay match. 

Miz TV. Special Guest, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. 

WWE Photo
While the RAW and SmackDown women's champions were insulting each other, Kabuki Warriors came out and they said something in Japanese that I can't understand. 

That segment led to an okay tag team match. Charlotte Flair delivered a moonsault on both Sane and Asuka. Asuka spat out the green mist to Becky and the Warriors won the match.

Charlotte got a 2 on 1 beating from Kabuki Warriors and then, Bliss and Cross made the save. This is the most we've seen Asuka and Kairi featured on TV in months and whoever told them to be there, I appalled you. 

Ricochet vs Apollo Crews. 

WWE Photo
This is a draft showcase for both guys and wasn't a great showcase? No, but it wasn't terrible either. Ricochet won this match with the recoil. 

Tysons Fury Demands An Apology From The Monster Among Men. 

WWE Photo
Jerry Lawler was moderating this whole thing and Fury like the title above, wanted an apology from Braun Strowman. 

Out came Braun Strowman and he said that he would eat Fury for lunch. Fury told him that he's the heavyweight championship of the world so how many heavyweight championships Braun won? 

Both men brawled with each other which led to security guards stopping him but they took out the guards but out came the rest of the WWE locker room and they finally separated both men.

WWE Photo
The show ended after Braun's interview with Charly Caruso, with a brawl. Like I said in my Friday night Smackdown review, the match between Strowman and Fury could be fun but I thought the ending was generic.

Like both guys have a beef, let's have them brawl with security guards and the rest of the locker room stop them as if we've never seen it before, am I right? Now, how it is any different between Floyd Mayweather and Big Show? Well, At least the brawl between Mayweather and Big Show was actually entertaining. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The last woman's standing match, Rusev aggression,  The Viking Raiders vs Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, Kabuki Warriors booked in a strong fashion. 

Didn't like:  Didn't explain as to why Lana cheated on Rusev, no mention of the universal championship other than a promo package (lame), the ending was generic af.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
