WWE Smackdown 7/8/20 | A Coherent Review.


If you love no disqualifications finishes then this show is for you.

SmackDown is finally the Arsenal of television shows.

One week, it delivers a good showing and the next week is the exact opposite.

Firefly funhouse.

It looks like the preview promos from various superstars are no more?

In this short edition of the firefly funhouse, Bray says that Braun has what The Fiend wants and that is the universal championship.

I mean, why would Bray put Braun Strowman in that dirty a** swamp?

Matt Riddle vs "Too Many Limes, Too Many Limes" Sheamus.

The match was good, good, good. The match concluded via a DQ because of Shorty G taking advantage out of King Corbin's ransom.

Which means that Matt is the winner of the match. That pissed Sheamus off and he brogue kicked Shorty G not once but twice.

Sheamus confronted King Corbin in a backstage segment saying that he'll kick Corbin's head off.

If The Celtic Warrior is going to be a babyface, can not please be his 2012 self where he lost his badass ways and became a bad comedian?

Miz And John Morrison Talked To Mandy Rose's Hair.

Yes, that's literally what they did. They interviewed "Mandy Rose's hair".

"Rose's hair" was playing the victim in this conversation pretty much blaming Mandy Rose for some reason (that was stupid). 

The hosts of the Dirt Sheets then brought up their other guest, Sonya Deville.


Deville basically said that she wanted to make Rose ugly on the outside as she is on the inside.

Out came Heavy Machinery and they gave a beating to Miz And Morrison.

Hey, at least it didn't lead to a tag team match, right? *sees a match graphic that the match is happening* F**K!

Cesaro vs Lince Dorado.

The match would've been better if given more time but nevertheless, it was decent. Cesaro defeated Lince with the neutralizer.

I honestly thought that Dorado would win the match given that the blue brand literally got no tag teams and the show has no tag team title on the line at SummerSlam.

The Fiend Appears On Smackdown.

With full entrance as a matter of fact. The Fiend tried to nail the mandible claw on Bliss again.

However, Wyatt was interrupted by "it was definitely not an iPhone" video promo from Braun Strowman saying that The Fiend will encounter the monster at SummerSlam.

We went from a great ending like Smackdown last week to a disappointing segment like this one.

Jeff Hardy vs King Corbin.

WWE Photo


The match was over with a DQ thanks to a brogue kick from Sheamus to Jeff Hardy, declaring Hardy the winner of that bout.

It was followed by an impromptu match between Sheamus and King Corbin that ended with a brogue kick that gave Sheamus the victory due to a distraction by Matt Riddle.

In an interview with Kalya Braxton, Big E was encouraged by his brothers in Kofi and Xavier Woods as well as the fans to purse a singles run and he was thankful for that.

Sasha Banks and Bayley were called to a room for a video conference by Stephanie McMahon.

The boss (not Sasha Banks) told the so-called boss that Banks will face Asuka at SummerSlam.

As far as Bayley's title is concerned, there will be a triple brand battle royal to determine Bayley's challenger at SummerSlam for the SmackDown women's championship.

What does a triple brand battle royal even mean? Will find out next week when that battle royal takes place.

Heavy Machinery vs The Miz And John Morrison.

Morrison's entrance isn't the same without pyro.

Also, the tag match ended with a DQ due to Mandy Rose beating up Sonya Deville? Huh?

Nevermind that awful finish, why did every match on this show (except for one) end with a DQ?

WWE Photo


So, a masked group called Retribution hijacked the show to end this week's episode of Smackdown.

Well, that was ridiculous and the camera shots didn't make this a whole lot better either. That was so f'ing lame.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Sheamus vs Matt Riddle.

Didn't like: Too many DQs, the ridiculous ending.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
