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).

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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event. Images via WWE.com Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together? Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?). Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos. That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie". The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again? The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW). However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this? It's not terri...

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling. Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong. An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys. Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge. Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was. Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2021 | A Coherent Review.

If I actually agreed with what Triple H said on the pre-show media call regarding fans, this review wouldn't happen but apparently if you like a piece of entertainment, don't complain a single thing about it. Something that a weird Zack Snyder fan will probably tell me in all caps for no reason. With that out of the way, how was Takeover? It was a lower-tier Takeover show but I had a good time for the most part. Part of NXT's success is the instant response that you can definitely hear from the fans coming out of a moment or an entire match. And, with the return of a full live crowd atmosphere, that statement was proven to be the exact opposite because that crowd was a dud. There were more noises during the empty area phase of WWE programming than this show. It really sucks that it had to be this way. Images via WWE.com Bronson Reed And Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma.
