WWE Smackdown 30/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

Happy Halloween and I, as usual, didn't dress up because why not, right? 

Now, how was Smackdown? It was pretty decent but this ain't a WWE show without one bad segment.

Roman Reigns Tells Jey Uso To Fall In Line. 

Jey Uso passionately told his cousin that he ain't falling in line for Roman Reigns. 

Reigns, however, calmly told Jey that all of the family is behind him and if he didn't join him then Jey is out of the family.  

Jey then shouts, "I hate you! Why you gotta do me like that, man?" 

Roman Reigns is so good playing a f'ing d**k especially when he didn't sympathize as to what Jey was going through in this scene. 

This segment was shorter than I expected to be honest. Nevertheless, I loved it. 

Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler. Smackdown Survivor Series Team Qualifying Match. 

It's Survivor Series time which means it's red vs blue for "brand supremacy". 

Why does Survivor Series have to be about "brand supremacy"? They might as well bring back Bragging Rights. 

This "brand supremacy" stuff literally has no high stakes in them. 

Anywho, the match between Owens and Ziggler was aight. 

Kevin Owens qualified for the SmackDown's Survivor Series team with the stunner. 


In an exclusive interview with Corey Graves to Lars Sullivan, WWE somehow had to add the word "freak" because why not? 

I gotta be honest, I wasn't paying attention due to the fact that it was boring in my opinion. 

Bianca Belair vs Natalya vs Billie Kay. Winner Qualifies For The SmackDown Women's Survivor Series Team.  


Adam Pearce made this match up in a backstage segment where Bianca Belair, Natalya and Billie Kay where they were stating their reasons as to why they should be in the women's Survivor Series team. 

To the surprise of no one, Bianca Belair qualified for Survivor Series with the KOD.  

Carmella is getting a re-debut next week. I'm glad Carmella is back. 

I absolutely loved her as a bad guy so I'm hoping they bring back her heel persona. 

Murphy Tries To Apologize To The Mysterio Family. 


Murphy was out here wanting to apologize to Rey and Dominik Mysterio in front of them. 

Out came not Dominik or Rey Mysterio but rather Seth Rollins and he simply told Murphy that Rey and Dominik will never forgive Murphy. 

However, Rollins does accept Murphy and Aalyah for who they are. 

After Dominik attacked Seth Rollins from outta nowhere, Rey and Dominik decided to beat up Murphy but Aalyah stopped them from further beating the guy. 

BECCCCCAUSE, she loves him and gave Murphy a kiss. Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah. 

Aalyah's acting is laughably bad. Please end this storyline for God's sake? 

The Street Profits vs Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura. 

This match was fun, fun, fun. Street Profits wins with from the heavens to Nakamura. 


In a backstage promo, Sami Zayn said that he represents all continents because he is the Intercontinental champion while his Survivor Series opponent Bobby Lashley, represents one miserable country. 

Thank God he didn't bring up his history with Bobby Lashley. 

The only time I appreciate WWE's lack of continuity. 

Sasha Banks Puts The Past Behind Her. 

Until Bayley showed up to tell Banks that she can't keep a title to which she challenged Banks to a match for the blue belt and the boss accepted the challenge. 

Will see what happens in that championship match next week. Also, Sasha's outfit? GOR. GEOUS. 

Jey Uso vs Daniel Bryan. Smackdown Survivor Series Team Qualifying Match. 

Jey was aggressive throughout most of the match for obvious reasons. 

After Jey Uso defeated Daniel Bryan to qualify for the men's Survivor Series team, he decided to fall in line with Roman Reigns by beating up Daniel Bryan even more. 

If you told me that Jey Uso would turn heel a few weeks ago, I would dislike it. 

But, based on the context of the opening segment as well as the Hell In A Cell match, Jey's turn to the dark side fits the overall arc. Jey accepts his new situation and makes the best out of it. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Street Profits vs Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura, the ending. 

Didn't like: Lars Sullivan interview, Aliyah/Seth Rollins/Mysterio Family/Murphy storyline.

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 ....
