AEW Revolution 2020 | My Coherent Predictions.

Another predictions article the day after I posted my Super showdown predictions piece? (Click here to read the whole thing).  

I wasn't impressed with how NXT was executed as a program this week. We shall see what March brings for the yellow brand (that Cameron Grimes vs Dominic Djakovic match was awesome though). 

Turning the channel to TNT or Fite TV where I live and AEW did the exact opposite. The promotion's upcoming PPV "Revolution" has lit some excitement in me thanks to their awesome build and I'm gonna talk about it on this coherent predictions piece. *Mario voice (the video game character, not the singer)* let's go. 

SCU In Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky vs. The Dark Order In Evil Uno and Stu Grayson.

If I was Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian, I'll be watching out for Christopher Daniels because The Dark Order has treated the guy fairly unlike most of the tag teams The Dark Order has physically interacted with. I think Christopher Daniels turns heel and costs SCU the win. 

I Predict: The Dark Order. 

Pac vs. Orange Cassidy.

After that amazing 30-minute iron man match, Tony Schiavone interviewed Pac about his thoughts on the L he just took to which everybody's favourite, Orange Cassidy ruined Pac's thunder so The Bastard knocked Cassidy out with a right hand and the match between those two were made. 

I'm intrigued as to how this match plays out because Cassidy's entire premise is that he's a lazy worker and him pulling out a tope con Hilo is odd. 

The dude is over though and I know it sucks that Pac is taking back to back Ls but I feel AEW should take advantage of his crowd reactions and build some momentum out of it. 

Cassidy has the potential of being a BIG star like really big so unfortunately, Pac is eating the loss in this one. 

I Predict: Orange Cassidy. 

Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page (c) vs. The Young Bucks For The AEW World Tag Team Championship.

A match that I never thought AEW would set up as it's the champions' most interesting opponents given that they're good friends. The number one contenders even were by Kenny Omega's side in his Iron man match with Pac which again, was amazing. 

I don't see the duo of Omega And Page last long so we're going to see new tag champs being crown on Sunday morning my time. 

I Predict: The Young Bucks Becomes The New AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Jake Hager vs. Dustin Rhodes. 

This is Jake Hager's first pro wrestling match since 2018 I believe and I'm not going to be worried about that because Jake is a good talent. The story is simple to follow. 

Jake Hager destroyed Dustin Rhodes' arm and Rhodes' is out to get the guy after his arm was fully recovered. AEW is avoiding Jake's mic skills and that right there is how they're going to play to his strengths. Dustin is definitely losing this like why would The Inner Circle's muscle lose this? 

I Predict: Jake Hager wins.

Darby Allin vs. Sammy Guevara. 

The way Sammy used the skateboard and hit Allin with it on his head at the end of the most recent Dynamite show was brutal. 

Shout out to Darby Allin for the way he took that hit. Allin like the freshly squeezed, Orange Cassidy, is over with the audience so Sammy ain't winning this like no way. 

I Predict: Darby Allin Wins. 

Nyla Rose (c) vs. Kris Stadtlander For The AEW Women's World Championship.

Nyla Rose should've been champion like when she faced Riho in the first episode of Dynamite which by the way, the two Nyla Rose vs Riho matches were fantastic. This is a match that I'm least interested in but that is not to say that it's a horrible build. 

I see a win for Nyla but probably in a screwy finish because I can't see Kris Stadtlander losing clean but anything is possible. 

I Predict: Nyla Rose Wins But In A Screwy finish. 

MJF vs. Cody.

This build reminds me of a Marvel Cinematic Universe phase one movie. A great portrayal of a hero you can get behind but with a one-dimensional villain with no motivation to other than "I'm a dick now boo me". 

I will give MJF credit for making the hero look really good but again, he's just a bland character that is a product of its era because of how he's performed as an old school heel but that's just me.   

This entire build was fantastic. That end segment in that episode of Dynamite where MJF gave Cody 10 lashes was a bad idea in thought but was great in execution.

Even that steel cage match between Cody and the debuting Wardlow was awesome too and I didn't see any hint of green in Wardlow's match with Cody. 

Cody hasn't gotten a big win since that cage match last week and honestly, he needs another one, I think the story will have a satisfying conclusion when Cody finally defeats the bad guy. 

I Predict: Cody Wins. 

Chris Jericho (c) vs. Jon Moxley For the AEW World Championship. 

Image result for aew revolution match card

The match that had a much better build than they're feud in WWE (God, that was an abomination). 

This like the Cody vs MJF match, had a storyline build that lasted for quite some time because unlike WWE, they don't have to rely on monthly PPVs sometimes twice in a month. 

Obviously, the biggest highlight in this feud was when Chris Jericho damaged Jon Moxley's eye that led to Jon damaging Santana's eye, an Inner Circle member. 

Full of eye-poking is how this feud is remembered, in a good way. Moxley's has been in 8 of the most popular videos on AEW's YouTube channel so that right there is one of the most convincing reasons why AEW might award Jon with the belt. And for that, Jon Moxley takes the W and captures the title for the very first time. 

I Predict: Jon Moxley Become The New AEW World Champion. 


Did I just become the resident AEW shill? If you think so then whatever but I wanna know your thoughts on the build for AEW Revolution In the comments below.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
