WWE Smackdown 12/6/20 | A Coherent Review.



This episode is going to be known for one thing, the intercontinental championship tournament finals match and that encounter tore the house down. 

As far as how I feel about this show overall, it was a decent show. 

Is This One Of The Most Controversial Scenes In The History Of WWE?

Look. Getting that line of "one of the most controversial segments in WWE history" isn't exactly rare but first, let me describe this segment. Sheamus wouldn't sign the contract unless Jeff takes a piss test. 

Hardy accepts it saying that he's going to be a beacon of light for anyone struggling with addiction. 

While Hardy was doing his business, Sheamus gave a public service announcement telling the kids watching at home that simply, don't be like Jeff.

After Hardy was done, he splashed Sheamus with his own urine and the Celtic Warrior was, drum roll please…………………., pissed (I'm so awful). Is it the most controversial segment ever? 

Hell no. However, I have one nitpick for this. Why were the results of the test brought up AFTER Jeff shoved Sheamus with his urine? 

That opening act of the show would've made some sense had the results were announced before the urine spot. I know, it's a minor issue but for some reason, it really bothered me. I’m not a fan of this rivalry and this segment visually explained it why. 

The New Day vs Shinsuke Nakamura And Cesaro.

Kofi Kingston and Big E are great. That is all. Oh, and they lost via an inside cradle to Kofi from Shinsuke Nakamura. An okay match. 

While Heavy Machinery were talking about their upcoming match, Jeff Hardy and Sheamus were brawling with each other. 

Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles. Intercontinental Championship Tournament Finals.

There were reports going around the Internet that Styles and Bryan had a classic or a match of the year contender?

The question is, was it a classic or a match of the year contender? The answer is quite simple, IT'S GOOD! 

Styles' arm was on the ring apron and Bryan stomped it which looked brutal af.

Moments later, Daniel did a double arm hook slam followed by an armbar to which Styles reversed it into the calf crusher. What a sequence that was. 

AJ hits the styles clash and then the phenomenal forearm to win this match and becomes the first-ever Intercontinental champion. Now, we know why he was traded back to the house that he built. 

I feel like Styles was playing in Bryan's element in the sense that AJ has to work a technical style (no pun intended) in order to execute a great match like that. 

In a backstage promo, Braun Strowman has no problem destroying Heavy Machinery if they try to cash in for his universal championship even though he likes Otis. 

Bayley and Sasha Banks Women's Tag Championship Celebration. 


You read the title, it was indeed a celebration. Bayley was so excited that she fooled Michael Cole thinking that he was getting a selfie from them. That moment had me dying bruh. 

That celebration was cut really short as Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross showed up as well as The IIconics via the titantron of course. That led to a mugging between Bliss, Cross, Banks and Bayley. 

A decent segment. Can I just say that Bayley is a great heel? Oh, people already know that? Okay. 

Matt Riddle is going to debut on the blue brand as early as next week. Should be interesting. 

Braun Strowman And Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler, The Miz And John Morrison. 

A meh main event. The babyface team won the match with the caterpillar from Otis to Dolph Ziggler. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 


Like: Styles vs Bryan. Intercontinental Championship Tournament Finals. 

Didn't like: The opening segment.

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
