My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Rhea Ripley Challenges Shayna Baszler, Chris Jericho Celebration.

WWE Photo
The black and gold brand and it's competitor (AEW Dynamite) were both okay. Not terrible and had a few highlights but overall, the shows were just fine. 

NXT 

Highlights.

Keith Lee And Dominic Djakovic vs The Undisputed Era In Kyle O'Reilly And Bobby Fish.

Fish suffered an injury during this tag team bout so instead Roderick Strong, the team player he is, replaced Fish's role in this match. Djakovic at one point delivered a suplex to Keith Lee on to the rest of Undisputed Era. 

O'Reilly's submission was countered by Dominic with a powerbomb while hitting a chokeslam to Strong at the same time. Djakovic with a beat-up leg, delivered a 450 on to Strong and O'Reilly outside the ring. 

Cole was about to interject himself but Lee quickly threw him onto the crowd area meanwhile,  Strong and O'Reilly hits the high-low to Dominic Djakovic and the champions are still champions. A very good match. That throw from Lee to Cole was just…. Wow. 

Candice LeRae vs Dakota Kai.

WWE Photo
A hard-hitting match, LeRae tried to hit a German suplex but instead, she hit herself on the apron along with Kai. Candice was about to get rid of Kai with the Gargano escape but Kai used the knee brace and hits her head. 

She was about to use a chair to inflict further damage on LeRae but Rhea Ripley made the save by kicking on the chair. That theme song from Kai while it fits, it is not my cup of coke zero. 

Rhea Ripley Challenges Shayna Baszler For The Women's Championship.

Xia Li won her match with Vanessa Bourne with a kick and then, Shayna and the gang got rid of her and basically brought up Baszler's victory at Survivor Series. Rhea Ripley came to challenge her for the NXT women's championship.  

Noice. Will Shayna's reign finally end? Probably given that Ripley I feel is the only woman in that women's division that can beat Baszler and become champion. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Undisputed Era Interrupts An NXT Concert - The reason? Well, they feel that they're the reason why NXT was victorious at the 2019 edition of Survivor Series.

Ciampa told the leader of Undisputed Era that he's coming for his title to which Balor came out and Ciampa said: "prince, you just met your king". 

Mansoor vs Shane Throne - Mansoor wins here with a springboard neckbreaker. Hopefully, we get to see more of Mansoor on TV.

Lio Rush vs Akira Tozawa For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship - You thought there was an actual brand split? Pffft. 

Also, I don't get why Tozawa got a championship match given that he just lost clean as a whistle to Andrade earlier this week on RAW. But, the match was decent. Rush retains with two frog splashes. 

Finn Balor vs Tommaso Ciampa - Thanks to Adam Cole, Balor hits the 1916 and won
Cole touched the prince and Balor kicked Cole's head off. The match was okay. 

AEW 

Highlights. 

Chris Jericho's Thanksgiving Celebration. 

Image result for chris jericho aew dynamite
This segment was great. Jericho was having fun with his inner circle members along with soul train jones aka Virgil and even had his father give out New York Rangers t-shirts which got the crowd chanting "Rangers' suck". 

Jericho brought up Justin Roberts to read what the exes over at TNT said about Le Champion and after the ring announcer read the letter, inner circle bullied the poor man until SCU disguised as the marching band made the save and got rid of the inner circle. 

I really liked the fact that Christopher Daniels locked in the million-dollar dream to Virgil. That was a nice call to Virgil's stint with Ted Dibiase. By the way, Dasha Gonzalez aka Dasha replaced Justin Roberts' place and she was good as a ring announcer. 

Kenny Omega vs Pac. 


Omega hits a snap dragon suplex on two different occasions. Then, Pac jumps from the top rope on Omega outside the ring with a beautiful moonsault. 

Pac plants Kenny with a top rope falcon arrow and unfortunately, Omega outsmarted the bastard by winning the match with the crucifix pin. An enjoyable match. Both guys have excellent chemistry so it's no surprise that they pulled off a good match. 

Dustin Rhodes Took Out The Inner Circle With Some Help. 

Rhodes was interviewed by Jenn Decker about what Jake Hager did to him and the rest of the Inner circle stomps on Dustin to which the Young Bucks saved the legend and super kicked Guevara, Santana And Ortiz. 

I liked the triple kick that Dustin and The Young Bucks did to Sammy Guevara. That was cool. 

Chris Jericho vs Scorpio Sky For The AEW World Championship. 

WWE Chris Jericho Scorpio Sky AEW Championship AEW Dynamite
Hager got involved in this match but the rest of SCU evened the odds. Sky then dodged Chris Jericho's attack with the championship and Sky hits the TKO and Jericho kicked out. 

Scorpio counters Jericho's Judas effect but he didn't counter the lion tamer which means that Le Champion still keeps his prize. Jox Moxley's music hits and Moxley stands there on the crowd area. 

Good match and the last time both Moxley and Jericho faced each other, it was not good, to say the least, so I hope the match whenever that happens, doesn't suck. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Best Friends vs Lucha Brothers - Trent pinned Rey Fenix in an upset win with the package driver. 

Bea Priestley And Emi Sakura vs Hikaru Shida And Kris Stadtlander - Kris made her AEW at AEW Dark so this is her AEW Dynamite debut (no crap, Omar). Unfortunately, she took the pin from Sakura with a modified roll-up. 

Jon Moxley Challenges Anybody to Fight Him - Exactly what it sounds like. Kinda like that guy that hits the black mass on people. 

Cody Calls Out MJF - After he won his match against Matt Cross, Cody called out MJF to which the trio of the Blade, The Butcher And The Bunny (Allie) made a statement by attacking Cody. Allie has now embraced the dark side and will she whether she nails that role or not. 

Hangman Adam Page vs MJF - Thanks to bad officiating, MJF wins this match and Diamond Dallas Page presents the winner of this match with the diamond ring. 

Page wanted to shake his hand but MJF put his chewed chewing gum on Page's hand and Waldow eventually fought with the Hall Of Famer. Meh.

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
