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

This show was miles better than last week's episode. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was fantastic however, it was decent and most importantly, WATCHABLE.

The show opened with all the superstars talking about what they're going to do on that episode.

"What does AJ even stand for"? Matt Riddle asks (Allen Jones. It's Allen Jones, Matt).

Big E vs Cesaro. Winner Chooses Either A Tables Match Or A Steel Cage Match For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

A main roster show kicked off the episode with a MATCH!? That's rare. This bout was good. I would've liked the match to last just a tiny bit longer but again, a good match nevertheless.

Big E at one point locked in in a modified Brock Lock which is a move that I've not seen in many moons now.

Due to Shinsuke Nakamura's interference, Cesaro nailed the neutralizer to win the match and the winner chose a tables match.

Because of the sheer talent, this tag team title match at Extreme Rules should be good.

King Corbin in an interview with Kalya Braxton, said that Matt Riddle is playing with fire and he's going to get burnt.

A Moment Of Bliss. Special Guest, A Mystery.

That mystery guest was revealed as an interference from Bayley, Sasha Banks or at least that's what I thought. The guest was the empress herself, Asuka.

Well, that was disappointing like what was a point of a mystery tease? That led to a tag match between the golden role models, Nikki Cross and Asuka and it was fine.

The number one contender of the SmackDown women's championship just got pinned by the champion. Nice *sarcasm of course*.

Firefly Funhouse Time.

Appearing as his "eater of worlds" character (which is one of the most underutilized characters in the history of pro wrestling), Wyatt said that he created the monster among men and how he gave him purpose.

Bray Wyatt shows the swamp that to quote himself, "lights the dark and the devil comes to dance".

Braun Strowman's promo before his match with John Morrison as well as this segment was actually decent. It's a shame that I'm not looking forward to the swamp fight.

Braun Strowman vs John Morrison.

Speaking of which. This was a one-sided encounter. Strowman won the match with the running powerslam.

Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

Yay, a rematch no one asked for!!!! But hey, At least Lacey Evans is once more a heel, right? Oh, and Evans won the match if you actually cared about the results of a great match that is Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

Jeff Hardy tells Kalya Braxton that he's nervous regarding being in a bar fight but he can't run from it to which Sheamus kicked Hardy's head off. Cool.

Another person that told Kalya Braxton something is Bayley and she said that she has momentum because of mass times the velocity and Bayley’s got the mass (referring to her title belts of course).

Nikki Cross then attacked Bayley from behind but Alexa Bliss separated her. I don't care about this title match, to be honest.

Matt Riddle vs AJ Styles For The Intercontinental Championship.

By far, the best match of the night. Riddle did a bro to sleep followed by a powerbomb followed by a knee strike. What a sequence.

Styles then delivered a brutal looking brainbuster from the top rope. Riddle locked in the bro mission but Styles got out of it.

Instead, Styles rolled Riddle up with a pin and the phenomenal one retained the championship.

The champ actually shook Riddle's hand however, it was an ambush as King Corbin attacked Riddle and hit him with the end of days to close off the episode.

Whenever Corbin feuds with someone, it's always an automatic "I don't care about this rivalry".

It's probably due to how uninteresting his storylines have been showcased or maybe how boring his character is.

I'm sure the match between Riddle and Corbin will be good though.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Matt Riddle vs AJ Styles For The Intercontinental Championship, Cesaro vs Big E.

Didn't like: The moment of Bliss, Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest. Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest. I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance. In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table. The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC. A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO." pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. Maybe I'm igno...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut. Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well. They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage. Highlights. Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens. And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything. The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!" With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock. Eddie Kingston (wi...
