WWE Smackdown 18/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

If you like filler episodes, this show is for you. The rest of us? Well, it's skippable, to say the least.

Roman Reigns vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

This match was okay with a generic ending to set up a match. Thanks to Corbin's sceptre, Shinsuke Nakamura retains the intercontinental championship and the bad guys stopped a returning Daniel Bryan from evening the odds for the big dog.

The New Day was disturbed when Otis drank a pancake batter with protein powder in a backstage segment. Kofi might tease a possible heel turn based on his "happy" face but that could completely not mean anything.

Also, something that happened backstage, Kalya Braxton asked Corbin why he has attacked Roman Reigns and Corbin with a smile on his face, walked off.

Chad Gable vs Curtis Axel.

After Gable's win, he was asked by Kayla about his height. Gable says that he has embraced his height and decides to *sigh* shorted his last name to G.

Hence, his new name is Shorty G. Shorty G sounds like a terrible rapper spamming in world star hip hop's comment section back in the late 2000s.

I will say this, if there's one person that can make this work is *sigh* Shorty G given that he has very good comedic timing but that could also crash and burn his momentum.

The New Day in Xavier Woods and Big E and Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode and The Revival.

The match ends with a midnight hour from The New Day and the babyface team won the match. An okay match.

Kalya is working hard by doing all the interviews herself and her next interview is Daniel Bryan about his tag team match. Daniel simply said that he's going to put Corbin and Shinsuke in their places.

Miz TV. Special Guest, Bayley.

Sasha Banks was by her side in this entire segment and The Miz was curious as to Bayley's new attitude and why she has made all the kids cry?

Bayley doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Miz then called among other things, someone that destroys the Bayley buddies to gain relevancy.

Bayley replied by saying "F everybody" and pulled a Vince McMahon line from the early 2000s "life sucks and then you die".

That led to some of the competitors in the six-pack challenge number one contenders match for the Smackdown women's championship coming out because that match was next.

Good stuff from Bayley and I especially liked how she brought a great Vince McMahon promo ironically from an episode of Smackdown.

Carmella vs Sonya Deville vs Mandy Rose vs Dana Brooke vs Nikki Cross vs Lacey Evans. Number One Contenders Match For The Smackdown Women's Championship.

Dana Brooke at one point, hits a beautiful senton from the top rope to Lacey Evans.

The match ended with a swinging neckbreaker from Nikki Cross to Mandy Rose and Cross is the number one contender for the Smackdown women's championship.

After Bayley's feud with Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss this past summer, I'm honestly tired of that match.

I would much prefer Carmella winning this match considering that Bayley and Carmella were once friends and they could play out their history but that's just me.

Braun Strowman vs Drew Gulak.

Drew Gulak introduces himself before his debut match and he warns Braun Strowman that Fury might beat him by showing him a PowerPoint presentation.

Braun wasn't having it and he destroys the former cruiserweight champion. The Big man won the match with a running powerslam. This is probably the first time I've seen Gulak brought up a PowerPoint presentation in a serious which is odd to see.

Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan vs Shinsuke Nakamura and King Baron Corbin.

King Corbin broke up a rebel lock from Daniel Bryan. Roman then speared the hell out of Corbin through a barricade.

Daniel Bryan hits the running knee to Shinsuke Nakamura to win this tag team bout. A Daniel Bryan Shinsuke Nakamura match? Sign me up.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The Miz TV segment.

Didn't like: All the matches were underwhelming to watch.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks. I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay. By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow. Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker. Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling. What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill. This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come. Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai. A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match. Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match. Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week. From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin. Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week. I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
