WWE RAW 7/9/20 | A Coherent Review.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Cobertura y resultados del 7 de septiembre de 2020

Last week, I was looking forward to this week's edition of Monday Night RAW 9

because they were trying some different things.

The latest episode really disappointed me for one reason.

It just felt uneventful.

Overall, not the best effort for the red brand.

Because of how skippable this program was, I am not going to talk about everything that happened but rather mention two interesting aspects.

Cedric Alexander Is Part Of The Hurt Business.

Yes, you read that right.

Cedric Alexander basically turned heel by aligning himself with the Hurt Business.

Despite being in the opposite team with Ricochet and Apollo Crews, he helped the trio of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP to win a tag team match.

Alexander explained his actions later in the night saying that he shouldn't sacrifice his body for Apollo Crews.

This is by far, the most interesting thing coming out of this show.

They have teased a turn to the dark side from Cedric going back earlier in the summer.

His promo was fine. The motivation made sense but I do think the delivery was a bit off.

I hope he can work on that because I've not seen this side of Alexander ever. Should be interesting.

Also, during the 8 man tag team match between The Viking Raiders, Ricochet, Apollo Crews and the Hurt Business, Ivar got no pun intended, hurt.

Here's the update from WWE (by WrestlingInc):

"During the Eight-Man Tag Team Match on Monday Night Raw, Ivar suffered a cervical injury on a Viking Dive to the floor.

As a precaution, Ivar was transported to a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery."

Wishing him nothing but a fast recovery.

Drew Is Back Hitting Claymore Kicks On Randy Orton.

The show started off with a return of an angry, vengeful WWE champion, Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre kicked Orton's head off not once but twice.

During the Keith Lee and Randy Orton match, Drew interfered in the encounter ending the match with a disqualification.

This was an example of lazy writing because the booking of this finish was the exact same as the Keith Lee vs Randy Orton bout on the RAW after SummerSlam.

Unless they're writing a narrative where Keith Lee doesn't like the fact that McIntyre is interfering in his matches with the viper.

Some other things that happened on this show like:

The arrival of the Smackdown tag team champions because remember, the brand to brand invitation is still a thing apparently.

Street Profits vs Angel Garza and Andrade…………. AGAIN!

A meh RAW Underground.

A women's tag match that I don't really care for.

Billie Kay facing her now-former teammate, Peyton Royce to a match in the most monotonous of ways.

A Retribution promo as well as a 24/7 championship segment that I ABSOLUTELY do not care about.

Rey and his family nailed a series of kendo stick shots on Murphy after Dominik had a good match with the disciple.

So, here's the recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Cedric's heel turn, Dominik vs Murphy.

Didn't like: the booking for the Keith Lee vs Randy Orton match, overall an uneventful show.

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...
