WWE RAW 30/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW this week didn't hurt my brain cells (except Nia Jax's wrestling skills which are as consistent as any Rob Schneider comedy).

 Images via WWE.com 

Damian Priest Was Like, "I'll Have An Open Challenge, Please?" 


And then, it turned out to be a "wrestlers stated their case as to why they should be a contender" cliche starring Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and the team of RKBro. 

To which Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville were like, "how about Damian Priest defending his belt against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus while RKBRO faces the team of MVP and Bobby Lashley". 

Cliche aside, the opening scene did a great job of showing a huge importance to the United States Championship which is something that I've been wanting for quite some time. 

Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler. 


Remember when both of these competitors main evented an episode of NXT? Good times. 

Ripley wins with an inside cradle which led to Nia Jax attacking the winner of the match. 

Me saying "attacking" when describing the post-match beatdown isn't doing the scene justice. 

Side note, Shayna isn't allowed to just win a match with ease. 

The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Veer. 

The Viking Raiders won with the Viking Experience. Cool. 

Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus For The United States Championship. 


Aka the exact opposite of Viking Raiders vs Jinder and Veer. 

This match ruled like Doctor Doom Latveria. Priest retained the title with the reckoning to Drew McIntyre. 


R Truth and Akira Tozawa have failed in capturing the 24/7 championship from Reggie. The funniest part about all of this is when Reggie jumped through the fence, Truth was like, "why are you jumping over gates bruh? It got a handle on it." 

I still think that the belt should be retired though. 

Doudrop vs Eva Marie. 

The match hasn't started because Doudrop attacked Marie during her entrance. 

More of this? No, please. 

Karrion Kross vs Humberto Carrillo. 

Kross may look like a $1 tier Spartacus but he's at least winning matches, right? 

Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax. 


The "Vinnie Ross shoot, shoot cowboy" esque feel, lacked a sense of direction which is what makes the entire encounter an uncomfortable mess to witness as a fan. 

Jax defeated Flair with a powerbomb of some sort. 


Johnny lost to Omos in a match (in other words, Flo Rida's song "whistle" was about blowjobs) while his partner in crime, AJ Styles also picked up the victory against Xavier Woods. 

Bobby Lashley And MVP vs RKBRO. 


The shenanigans from AJ Styles And Omos on the outside, did not stop Riddle from pinning MVP to win this tag team exhibition.

Riddle ate a spear from Bobby Lashley however, Lashley took an RKO from outta nowhere (never gets old seeing bold Pedro Pas…. I mean, Randy Orton executing an RKO from out of nowhere). 

Overall, I thought the match was good besides Styles and Omos' role in the match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Damian Priest vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And Riddle vs Bobby Lashley and MVP.  

Didn't like: Whatever the hell happened in the Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax bout.

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

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 ...

RUMOUR: Dolph Ziggler Done With WWE?

Holy crap, so many reports of wrestlers possibly leaving WWE. Anyways, according to Mike Johnson over at PWInsider , the show off is done with WWE. He, by the way, was given a producer role but turned down that offer and also wasn't at WWE's live events in recent weeks. Ziggler is expected to be on a comedy tour soon and his sources claim that Dolph's contract expires on 31/1.   What do I think of this? I feel like he's done pretty much everything with WWE and if this is official, I wouldn't be mad about it.  What do you guys think of this? Put your opinions and perspectives in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.
