WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement.

Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness.

The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black.

In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer.

Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background.

Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion is rare).

Rey Mysterio vs Jey Uso.

I don't know specifically how many times those two guys have wrestled but I know it's a LOT.

Dominik Mysterio tried to help his father win the match but it failed. As a result of the miscommunications, Jey Uso picked up the victory with a splash.

Baron Corbin vs Kevin Owens.

The "too many rematches that nobody cares about" criticism plays itself.

The match ended in a DQ due to a series of punches from Big E who's mad that Corbin stole his Money In The Bank briefcase. But, the big man somehow escaped with the contract.

I smell a match at the pre-show.

Shotzi And Nox vs Natalya And Tamina. Championship Contender's Match.

I hate to repeat myself but the narrative of too many rematches once again, writes itself.

Shotzi and Nox won the match with a roll-up from Shotzi.

Montez Ford vs Otis.

The outfit from Ford is something else. The match was fine. Otis' splash from the middle rope is how he defeated Montez Ford.

It's nice to see a big man actually successfully execute a top/middle rope move because that's been a cliche for God knows how long.

King Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Apollo Crews And Commander Azzez.

The babyfaces win here.

NEXT!

Bianca Belair defeated Zelina Vega and Carmella with ease before her encounter with Sasha Banks in Las Vegas. Meh.

And the final segment of the episode was John Cena telling Roman Reigns that he'll find ways to demote his a** one, two, three.

Oh, and Reigns announced that if he loses then he leaves WWE which screams "I'm definitely going to win this match". Besides that announcement, Nothing too noteworthy happened.

Here's hoping that SummerSlam is actually, you know, enjoyable.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Edge Gangrel tribute.

Didn't like: Too many darn rematches that I don’t care for.

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.
