WWE RAW 18/1/21 | A Coherent Review.

Was this episode terrible? No, but that doesn't mean it was great either.

It was in the "meh" side of things.

Randy Orton WITH A LUCHADOR MASK!?

The episode started off with Randy Orton wearing a luchador mask because Bliss burned the dude's face last week.

Orton cut a promo about fire and the Royal Rumble match.

"Somebody give this man an Oscar", said Vince McMahon probably after seeing that segment. It was an okay segment.

Lacey Evans was defending her alliance with Ric Flair in an interview with Charly Caruso (Thank God, I didn't say "relationship" instead of alliance).

Charlotte Flair vs Peyton Royce.

Despite some shenanigans between Charlotte Flair, her father Ric and Lacey Evans, the queen won the match with the figure eight and didn't let go of the hold after the match ended.

This entire angle is a no for me, guys.

Bobby Lashley stomped on Riddle's leg.

If I'm not mistaken, I've never seen Riddle pissed off like that.

Xavier Woods vs Mace.

"Bad, bad, bad, bad boy" oh wait, wrong Mace.

He actually won the match with a fireman's carry position into a sidewalk slam of some sort.

Sticking to Retribution for a bit. I'm intrigued by the story of Mustafa holding the grudge for not getting the "Kofimania" push.

Alexa Bliss' Playground. Special Guest, Asuka.

So. Bliss declared herself in the women's Royal Rumble match and Asuka was enthusiastic about it (no idea why).

Bliss was bothered by the way Asuka said, "yowie wowie" to the point where the raw women's champion was spooked.

Later in the night, the match happened between those two women and Bliss made Asuka look like the women's champion was beneath her.

Alexa Bliss turned from good Alexa to EVIL Alexa.

Because of her EVILness, Bliss won the match.

It looks like she's definitely winning the women's Royal Rumble match.

Jeff Jarret predicts that Bill Goldberg will win the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble.

I guess I have to disagree with ya, Double J.

Shayna Baszler vs Mandy Rose.

After Shayna won the match with the kirifuda clutch, tension was built between Baszler and Nia Jax.

But, Brooke pushed Nia Jax onto Baszler and ran away with Mandy Rose.

Whatever.

Ricochet vs AJ Styles.

Ricochet made a “50 First Dates” reference (yes, the one with Adam Sandler) to which AJ Styles not only gets the reference but he also puts that film in his top ten. He then used that reference to tell Styles that he has selective amnesia.

I don’t know if the WWE writIng team saw the movie or not but Drew Barrymore’s character had a car accident that got her anterograde amnesia aka NOT selective amnesia. It’s literally on the movie’s Wikipedia page!

The match itself was freaking awesome. That brainbuster from Styles was just *chef's kiss*.

AJ catches Ricochet from a springboard move into a styles clash to win the match. Another *chef's kiss* moment.

The Dirt Sheet. Special Guest, Goldberg.

Johnny Mundo and Mikey Mizanin introduced not Goldberg but rather Gillberg.

The way Gillberg said that he has to bust his head on the wall to bump himself made me laugh really loud.

The comedy continued as "Drew McIntyre" showed up and confronted Gillberg.

Miz then eluted that he'll cash in his Money In The Bank contract to become WWE champion.

I'm not a big fan of the way WWE handles comedy. However, I thought this segment was hilarious.

The guy that played Drew McIntyre was the star of the segment.

The Hurt Business vs Riddle And The Lucha House Party.

The miscommunications between Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin continued this week and I don't know where they're going with this.

However, The Hurt Business still came out of this match victorious.

Jeff Hardy vs Jaxson Ryker.

Ryker was talking about accepting the universal truth and I was like, "Woah, Woah, Woah".

Also, really? This match again?

It ended via a DQ because Elias pushed Jeff onto the ring apron and the ref saw it.

The miscommunications from Elias and Jaxson Ryker didn't stop Ryder from putting Hardy down.

What's with this show and miscommunications?

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Dirt Sheet segment, Ricochet vs AJ Styles.

Didn't like: The Lacey Evans, Ric and Charlotte Flair storyline, Jaxson Ryker vs Jeff Hardy.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match. Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship. During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit. This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope. A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all. The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment. Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane. That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great. Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane. That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...
