WWE RAW 8/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I've enjoyed Monday Night RAW as of late and if I've read that sentence as recent as a few months ago, I would probably call it "blasphemous".

The question is, did this episode continue its process of good episodes? The answer is yes. This episode was actually good if not great.

Seth Rollins Was Like, "I Know Kevin Owens Is A POS"

The headline above pretty much described the entire in-ring promo segment from Drippy Jesus other than the backstage segment in which Kevin convinces Big Cocoa Butter Rubber E that he isn't the guy he used to be.

And Rollins ran as soon as Kevin Owens showed up. Before the main event match happened, Rollins "came clean" to Big E saying that what happened last week was a plan being set up by himself and Owens.

After a good back and forth between those two men, the accidental collision between Kevin Owens and Big E, led to a count-out loss for the prizefighter.

And then, Kevin followed Shotzi's footsteps by beating up a black person following a loss for a title opportunity.

And unlike Shotzi, I actually do not mind the heel turn if that's where they are going with this because it is a possibility that Owens was just angry at the heat of the moment, giving the guy a "tweener" edge in him but who knows?

Either way, I'm intrigued by the outcome of all of this next week.

RKBRO And The Street Profits vs AJ Styles, Omos, Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.

Miscommunications PARTAYYYYYY from both sides of the 8 man tag team match but an okay match for what it was. The heel team picked up the victory which followed with an immediate RKO to Dolph Ziggler.

Another vignette for Veer. Very nice! (Sarcasm of course).

Bobby Lashley vs Dominik Mysterio. Winner Added To The Survivor Series.

It's that time of the year where an entire PPV revolves around RAW and Smackdown wrestlers facing each other "for one night only".

You know what's also promised to be "one night only"? Impact Wrestling's PPV of the same name but we all know what happened.

Dominik Mysterio was part of the men's team for the red brand, however, Adam Pearce was like, "Nah, you gotta face Bobby Lashley In order to keep your spot"

And, of course, Bobby Lashley wins here. In a backstage segment, Rey Mysterio pulled a "DAMN YOU, SETH ROLLINS!" on Adam Pearce. Well, that made me chuckle for no reason.

Verbal chaos ensued amongst the entire RAW women's division on who deserves an opportunity to be part of the women's Survivor Series team.

You know it's bad when Chris Van Vliet's Emmy collection is bigger than the entire women's division.

Big E vs Chad Gable.

Oh, my. A different matchup? Impressive. It was also a solid match. Big E defeated Gable with the big ending.

Reggie vs Drake Maverick For The 24/7 Championship.

Drake Maverick, Akira Tozawa, Corey Graves, Bryon Saxton, Drake Maverick again and Reggie, all won the 24/7 championship.

It does make sense why Corey Graves was awarded the 24/7 title given that his colour commentating is equivalent to the 24/7 championship.

Bryon Saxton? Well, I'm hoping he has a good day.

Bianca Belair vs Liv Morgan vs Carmella vs Zelina Vega vs Rhea Ripley. Winner Faces Becky Lynch For The RAW Women's Championship.

Why's Becky Lynch dressed like a member of a 90s pop band that nobody remembers?

All lame banter aside, the match was fine and the outcome was unexpected considering that I couldn't see WWE making that decision as recently as a few weeks ago but I'm glad they did.

It's time for women outside of the typical main event picture to get some shine.

The woman I'm referring to is Liv Morgan because she won the whole thing and will go on to face Becky Lynch for the RAW women's championship.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Liv Morgan's win, Big E vs Chad Gable, Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins, Kevin's character edge is intriguing.

Didn't like: There's nothing I disliked about the show. Shocking, I know.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode. The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW. NXT Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that. As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail). Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that). War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship. First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so. Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match. Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship. Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes. Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega. Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense? Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade. Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
