WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people! 

In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.

Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract". 


The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal. 

The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?). 

All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton. 

Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me. 

I will go as far as to say that it's one of the best moments in Monday Night RAW's long history. 

I rarely look at Twitter before I review a show but seeing the overwhelming support this man got (so huge in fact that WWE's Twitter handle was changed to "BIG E IS WWE CHAMPION") shows me that Big E should be known as one thing, a f**king Chad. 

Charlotte Flair vs Shayna Baszler. 


WWE will not allow Shayna Baszler to just not catch Ws. This woman is if Arsenal was a person. 

After Charlotte Flair's victory, the RAW women's champion was given a gift by Alexa Bliss which was a Lily doll Charlotte Flair edition. 

The scene ended with a bit of a brawl between those two women.

Cool. 

Drew McIntyre And Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal, Veer And Shanky. 

The match was fine for what it was. The babyface team prevailed in the end. 


Drake Maverick told R Truth and Akira Tozawa that their plan on taking the 24/7 championship wasn't executed properly. 


For The first time in like 2 years, I'm actually intrigued by what they're going to do next as pertaining to the 24/7 title scene and the main factor being that the scenes with Drake Maverick were the highlight of the title's short history. 

Damian Priest vs Jeff Hardy For The United States Championship. 


The open invitational for the US champion continues from the former Punishment Martinez and I'm loving every second of it. 

Damian is really portrayed as something special which is sorely missing for a minute with the US and the IC title. 

Priest retained the title with the reckoning to which the guy got a reckoning of his own in relentless kicks and punches. 

Nikki A.S.H vs Tamina. 

The red brand loves the "odd tag team" arc and I think it especially fits in the case of Nikki A.S.H and Rhea Ripley. It's a cliche but it's a cliche that works. 

I can't tell whether the match ended in a DQ or not because Natalya delivered an Irish whip followed by a slam from Tamina onto Nikki A.S.H. 


Speaking of Rhea Ripley and Natalya, they had a decent match following that encounter. 

Ripley won the match with the cloverleaf which is the coolest submission move ever. 

Doudrop vs Eva Marie. 

I was hoping for disaster because I'm a troll but I didn't hate this match as much as I should given who's involved in the bout itself. 

Doudrop picked up the W with a splash. Can this woman get her name back, please? 

The New Day, Mansoor And Mustafa Ali vs AJ Styles, Omos, T-Bar and Mace. 


Omos led his team to victory with the double chokeslam so impactful that it made Great Khali jealous. 


And the final segment before the Big E-cash in, was a promo by Karrion Kross filmed in a dark backstage area. My man was like, "Aleister Black, this is for you". 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: FEEL THE POWEEEEEEEEER! Damian Priest' US open challenge, Drake Maverick, is actually making the 24/7 championship scene a little interesting. 

Didn't like: Shayna taking pins like it's skittles.

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 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 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...
