WWE RAW 13/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another watered down and downright mid-episode of Monday Night RAW. The show once again, did bring the yawn. A LOT of it, in fact.

Bobby Lashley Wants A Title Opportunity.

The Bob of all Lashleys is added into the WWE championship title picture if he defeats Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and my man, Big Eoooo Wangston which he eventually did.

Like pretty much all of the white dudes with podcast reviews of Monday Night RAW longer than an AEW Rampage episode, I'm not a fan of the champion taking a pin for the sake of adding someone into a title match.

The word that comes to mind with that booking decision is "uninspiring".

Otis vs Riddle.

In a backstage segment before this match took place, Randall wasn't a fan of Riddle's idea of wearing a light brown blazer with the WWE logo but he did tell Riddle that if he defeats Otis then Randall wouldn't mind Riddle wearing that blazer in the near future.

I'm not gonna lie, I did agree with the first 6 words of that entire description.

Did Riddle defeat the closest thing to a villain from a 90s family movie, Otis? Hell Nah. The big man stood tall at the end by knocking out Riddle and Randy Orton. Cool.

Bianca Belair vs Doudrop.

By far, the best thing about this episode because I really like this match. Those two women had excellent chemistry and I wouldn't mind a rematch based on what happened post-match.

The definition of the word Black Excellence, Bianca Belair, defeated Doudrop with the 450 splash.

After a verbal back and forth, Becky Lynch gave Liv Morgan some damage on one of her arms by stomping her multiple times on the darn steel steps. Why did this segment feel so underwhelming and downright boring?

With both talented women featured, you would think they'll carry this into a somewhat decent segment, right?

Dana Brooke avoided the likes of Tamina, Reggie, R Truth and so on, from taking the 24/7 championship. WHO IN THE RED CHILI POWDER F**KING CARES!?

Finn Balor And Damian Priest vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.

If you love Distraction finishes then this match is for you. Thanks to Austin Theory, Ziggler and Roode walked out of the arena as the winner. Cool.

Oh, and Vince McMahon gave Austin Theory the most dangerous weapon. No, it's not the ability to come up with incest storylines but rather a pencil.

Rhea Ripley vs Queen Zelina Vega.

A match that should've been one-sided but as the saying goes, nothing is immune to the distraction finish as that's how Ripley lost the match. Cooool.

Yay, Another Miz TV Segment.

Edge ruined Miz's egocentric celebration which led to a skull-crushing finale to Edge after the Rated R superstar stopped the moment Maryse was in front of Miz.

Maryse wasn't a fan of how Miz blindsided her so she simply just slapped the guy.

Who's asking for a feud based on a match you've seen many times on a 2009 episode of Smackdown?

And finally, the last thing that happened in this episode was…………... AJ Styles and Omos are cool now as if they weren't cool in the first place.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Bianca Belair vs Doudrop.

Didn't like: Another dull, yawn-inducing episode of RAW.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening. Images via WWE.com The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky. After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all. The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something. Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville. Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no". Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

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 ...
