WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Predictions.

Via WWE. 
Since I've not done a predictions piece in many moons and how this episode of RAW was one big meh, I thought it would've been an appropriate time to write down my predictions for the first Saudi show of the year. 

Now, how was the build for Super Showdown 2020? It was 50/50. The RAW side did a decent job while the current face of the word "mediocrity", Smackdown's build was skippable at best and uninteresting at worst. Without further ado, here are the predictions. 

The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) vs. The Miz and John Morrison For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

As much as I enjoy both tag teams, this wasn't a good build and a great example of me not caring anything on what's going on the blue brand. Who do I think grabs the belts? The answer is in the Dirt sheets. 

I Predict: The Miz And John Morrison. 

Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin In A Steel Cage.

The train of uninteresting Smackdown matches continues as I'm talking about this feud that lasted for 5 F'ING MONTHS that included dog food for the majority of this run. 

Just have the Big Dog win and get this over with. Also, with the rumours that Roman might be in a high profiled match at Wrestlemania whether it's facing the Universal championship or facing Goldberg, I cannot see Roman losing this one unless WWE wants to mess with me and continue this feud via a screwy finish. 

I Predict: Roman Reigns Wins. 

Seth Rollins and Murphy (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) For The Raw Tag Team Championship.

"Hey, it's the Monday Night Messiah," says no one beside WWE for the gazillion time. This was announced on the recent episode of RAW and the reason being is that last week, The Street Profits came out to help Kevin Owens fight Rollins and his followers in Murphy and AOP. 

That led to a match between Seth Rollins, I mean the Monday Night Messiah vs Montez Ford and Murphy vs Angelo Dawkins which were aight. 

Ever since Seth turned heel and dawned the persona of “The Monday Night Messiah”, it’s as if WWE unofficially took out Seth Rollin’s name off of their website.  I think the “Monday Night Maniacs” as Brian Zane would like to put it, will continue to do maniacs things. 

I Predict: Seth Rollins And Murphy retains. 

AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.

So, the word “Tuwaiq” is actually the name of an escarpment and if you don’t know what an escarpment is, It’s basically a rocky hill that has a flat surface on top (I know I could’ve explained it better but it is what it is). 

Rusev was supposed to be in this match but WWE has cut him off of this match due to reported injury according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio which is weird given that WWE would’ve notified it publicly especially when one of their performers is “sidelined with an injury”. 

Anywho, AJ Styles is winning this or maybe Andrade (the dude is a champion, why is he not defending the title?) but considering that AJ is rumoured to face The dead man at Wrestlemania, this is a predictable but sensible win. 

I Predict: AJ Styles Takes The Tuwaiq Trophy.

Bayley (c) vs. Naomi For the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.

A match that I’m surprised is happening so soon as it’s a mark-key match for the Smackdown side of the women’s division unless Sasha Banks is ready to go but Banks’ reportedly in the set for The Mandalorian so that might affect WWE’s WrestleMania plan.  

I think Bayley wins but in a screwy finish and that leads to a possible match either at Elimination Chamber or Wrestlemania. 

I Predict: Bayley.

"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Goldberg For the WWE Universal Championship.

A build so short yet uninteresting at the same time but if I’ll contradict myself for a bit. I’ve been saying for weeks that I am curious as to how the match will be constructed. It could be a great match or it could badly fall flat. 

Who do I think wins? It’s hard to say. WWE could mess with me like the steel cage match earlier and have Goldberg win but they could solidify Wyatt’s reign by beating Goldberg. It’s only up to WWE to make that decision. 

If Goldberg wins which I’m not for it, I would be lying if I’m not interested in a possible battle of the spears match between Goldberg and Reigns at Wrestlemania. Oh, and I hope that God damn stupid red lights doesn’t come back if the rumours are suggesting that it is. 

I Predict: Either man win.

Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Ricochet For The WWE Championship.

What started as a dick kick from Lesnar to Ricochet the RAW before the Royal Rumble, turned into a decent triple threat number one contender’s match between Ricochet, Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins which Ricochet won. 

Brock did show up this week in a series of some if not most appearances on the red brand so far this year which is rather shocking. This is a match-up that I’m looking forward to but like the Tuwaiq match, this is a predictable one. Should be a fun match to witness. 

I Predict: Brock Lesnar Retains. 


And that is all. Hoping that It was an enjoyable read. If so, then share this to your wrestling loving friends or family members. 

Let me know in the comments on what are your thoughts on the build for Super showdown 2020 and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

Gail Kim As Women's Champion In 2003 Or Paige As Divas Champion In 2014? Who Had The Better Debut Reign?

Women’s wrestling in world wrestling entertainment. Believe it or not, it has been around for quite some time but it hasn’t been taken to the stratosphere by the powers that be until a few years ago. However, in one fateful time between 2002 and 2005, there was a small women’s division that although wasn’t as big as it is today, it was surprisingly competitive for the most part.  Meet Gail Kim. Before Gail joined WWE in October 2002, She started training at Ron Hutchison's wrestling school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which had some notable alumni like Edge, Christian, Beth Phoenix, Tiger Ali Singh, Traci Brooks, Trish Stratus among others.  Gail Kim made her professional wrestling debut in late 2000 and she donned the persona of a masked luchadoras by the name of "La Felina" and wrestled all over the Southern Ontario area.  Kim started off her WWE career training in OVW and was called up to the main roster in 2003 (more specifically Monday Night RAW)...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...
