WWE Smackdown 17/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

The blue brand executed an okay 2-hour program.

I ain't gonna ask you why and then slap my head multiple times because this isn't that type of review.

Paul Heyman Had Some Comments Regarding The Demon.

Those comments were about how Finne Baylor is afraid of Roman Reigns because he had to tap into his inner demons in order to face the Tribal chief.

Big E's music hits and after seeing the new WWE champion making his way to the squared circle, the word "intrigued" came to mind.

Oh, and the Irishman himself also showed up for reasons I do not mind because I too want that demon coming if you know what I mean.

All lame jokes aside, I thought the segment wasn't too special in its structure and format but it did spark a bit of a question on whether this is the end of the second brand split era.

The answer is I highly doubt it. The 6 man tag team match between the Bloodline and The New Day was a path to increase the overall ratings by just a little bit but that's just me (don't forget a Draft coming soon).

All of this was followed by a tag team match between The Usos, Big E and Finn Balor. And the WWE champion and the number one contender for the universal championship won that match.

Normally, I would be mad about the tag team champions losing like that but in this case, you have a number one contender (that WWE has to make him look as good as possible) and a wrestler that just won the prestigious big belt.

So, the decision was hard from the creative overlords' end and I can't blame them here.

You know what's also hard? Every time I se……………. (GAMER WORD, STOP IT!).

Sticking to the universal championship scene, Paul Heyman to Roman Reigns was like, "I swear to God, bro. I didn't know that Brock returned at SummerSlam or when he's going to show up next."

By the way, Paul Heyman's backstage interview with Kalya Braxton had me DYING!

Heyman channelled his inner Jamie Lee Curtis due to how f'ing scared this man is.

Liv Morgan and Toni Storm vs Carmella And Zelina Vega.

The match ended in a count-out because Liv Morgan broke Carmella's nose and Morgan doesn't care about that because she challenged Carmella to a match at Extreme Rules.

Cool, I guess.

Happy Corbin didn't show his happy side as he delivered a series of attacks on Kevin Owens.

So, what did I learn from this? Well, is that being insanely wealthy will turn you into an a**hole. In other words, nothing happened.

Rick Boogs vs Robert Roode.

The match was whatever. It ended with another W from Rick Boogs to which they took a beating from Commander Azzez and Apollo Crews because your Nigerian royalty wants a rematch for the IC belt.

Do I want to see yet another rematch between those two guys? Nope. Why? Because they're meaningless.

Seth Rollins Was Like, "I Blame YOU For Making Me Going Extreme On Edge"

I was watching this entire segment like, "Kylo Ren, is that YOU!?"

This promo screams a third in their two-match feud at Extreme Rules and I do not mind it considering the encounter match last week was really good.

Finn Balor unveils the demon in a promo. Nice.

Meanwhile, Naomi wanted Sonya Deville to pay attention and give the former 2-time Smackdown women's champion a freaking match.

That was probably the best dialogue execution I've seen throughout this episode. She just cut that promo with f**king finesse. Not gonna lie, that was a star-making performance.

Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn.

A match so predictable, my autocorrect filled in the "Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn" headline above.

Sami wins yet again. Coolio.

Bianca Belair's Homecoming Celebration.

Belair was celebrating her accomplishments in Knoxville, TN until Becky Lynch showed up in a black person's business.

Belair then tricked Becky Lynch's handshake into a KOD but Lynch countered that with a man handle slam.

Who says WWE doesn't make their hometown performer look good, am I right?

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Naomi's backstage promo, Paul Heyman's paranoia.

Didn't like: The second and last part of the Homecoming segment, Dominik Mysterio and Sami Zayn AGAIN, Why a rematch between Apollo Crews and Shinsuke Nakamura?

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good. An Image via WWE.com Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent. The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch. The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it. Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness". The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules. So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender. That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener. Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual. When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
