WWE Smackdown 11/9/20 | A Coherent Review.

WWE SmackDown Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from Sept.  11 | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights

Smackdown is decent this week. 

But, I will say, they (Smackdown) have been by far the interesting show going into Clash Of Champions, unlike Monday Night RAW.

Roman Reigns' Wrecking Everyone Is Paul Heyman's Spoiler (no sh*t, Omar).

Heyman started the show saying that Roman Reigns accomplished his goal to not only beat up people but as well as taking the championship that Reigns never lost. 

Heyman called out Jey Uso and Uso brought up the history between Jey's family and Paul Heyman. 

The history he was referring to was the fact that Paul Heyman managed The Usos' father, Rikishi back when Rikishi was part of the Head Skrinkers aka The Samoan Swat Team.

King Corbin and Sheamus came out pretty much talking smack (see what just I did there?) about Jey Uso as number one contender. 

Uce then challenged the bad guys to a tag team match against himself and the big dog later in the night. 

To which Jey layed the Smackdown on the king and the fella. 

Jey looked great with the way he took care of the heels all by himself. 

This storyline is getting more and more intriguing each week and I love it. 

Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles For The Intercontinental Championship. 

Zayn was FURIOUS that the Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles match is for the Intercontinental championship even though he doesn't mind if it's a regular singles bout. 

Adam Pearce told the guy to leave the building. 

Pearce is great as an authority member. Give him his flowers for that portrayal.

The match itself was okay. 

The match ended the match with a DQ because of one man, Sami Zayn. 

After the beat down at the hand of Zayn, Jeff Hardy suffered from dehydration because of the way he fell down in the stage area.

Is this a slow turn to the good side for the phenomenal one? Will see. 

In a backstage segment, The Street Profits showed up in Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura's celebration room of some sort. 

The blue champs told the red champs to not mess up the place. What do you think happens next? 

This was bad and the reason being is that it made the Smackdown champions look absolutely stupid. 

Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura vs The Lucha House Party.

The Lucha House Party won the match thanks to an odd distraction from The Street Profits messing Cesaro and Nakamura's celebration lounge in the titantron. 

This booking strategy was yet again, a great example of WWE over complicating their angles. 

Why can The Street Profits distract Cesaro and Nakamura on the outside instead of a video in the titantron? 

Keep it simple, guys. 

Bayley Explains Her Actions.

Her motivations as to why she heinously attacked Sasha Banks is that Banks was close enough to finally strike on Bayley and how Banks wanted the spotlight that was on the champion. 

Loved. Every. Single. Second. Of. It. 

Alexa Bliss vs Nikki Cross vs Lacey Evans vs Tamina. Winner Faces Bayley For The Smackdown Women's Championship At Clash Of Champions.

During Nikki Cross' entrance, Cross was attacked by Bayley with a chair. 

Alexa Bliss was all over sudden "controlled by The Fiend" and she delivered an impressive sister Abigail on Nikki Cross. 

Then, Bliss simply left the ring. 

It is now a triple threat match and Cross somehow won the match, becoming the person to face Bayley for the championship with a roll-up. 

A good match is all I'll say. 

Look. I liked the series of matches that Bayley had with Nikki Cross.

However, I wish that it was Naomi facing Bayley instead of Nikki given that she pinned the champion weeks back. 

That W from Naomi is rendered utterly useless. 

We then witness a woman wearing a fur coat but we haven't seen her face. 

It's definitely Carmella. 

I would be surprised if it was anybody else. 

Otis vs John Morrison. 

WWE Photo

This was meh. The Miz took the Money In The Bank contract but that didn't stop Otis to win the match with a splash. 

Oh, and Miz took the wrong briefcase because he took the wrong box. 

Cool. 

In the latest edition of the firefly funhouse, Bray Wyatt introduced a new character, a parrot named Pasquale but he died and Evil Vince gave Wyatt a new character. 

Wobbly Walrus aka his special advisor. 

I thought it was Alexa Bliss. 

Unfortunately, that didn't happen tonight but hopefully, it does at some point. 

Roman Reigns And Jey Uso vs Sheamus And King Corbin. 

WWE Photo

Jey Uso did the heavy lifting in this main event encounter. 

However, Roman Reigns came out right at the end of the match and delivered the spear to Sheamus for the victory. 

Roman looked bothered at the end. 

It is only a matter of time before the big dog gave Jey Uso a harsh beating. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Bayley promo, the Smackdown women's championship number one contender’s match. 

Didn't like: The booking for the Cesaro and Nakamura vs Lucha House Party match, how the Smackdown tag champs were portrayed as idiots, Nikki Cross' victory made Naomi's win week's before utterly useless.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
