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 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...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So.  Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ):  “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat.  Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction.  Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

The 5 News Week: What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?, Xavier Woods Talks About The Racial Injustice In The US.

Yes, The 5 New Week made its return after a 2-week hiatus and I wanna admit something to you guys.  Last year, I was really looking forward to 2020 and how unlike 2019, I'm actually going to maintain a schedule of articles I put out every week (which you can see the entire thing by clicking on the about page).  But, I certainly didn't and it really bothers me that I have to not publish an article due to personal life or a struggle with fighting against my mortal enemy, laziness. The inconsistencies of the articles I publish will continue and that's the sad part. Anywho, on with the news.  What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?  Last week, Fightful Select and Sean Ross Sapp stated that Kairi Sane was badly injured that involved a cut on her head during a match with Nia Jax.  Now, whenever the words " x wrestler injured " and " Nia Jax " are in the same sentence then you'll know the rest of the song.  Fast forward to this pas...
