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

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.

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 minutes, Naomi won with the most protective move in professional wrestling, the roll-up.

We're going to see this match one way or another (this is my exclusive scoop so if you somehow stumbled on this site that is the wrestling media's equivalent to a straight to DVD movie, please credit me but who am I kidding? Y'all would probably link the site and not the actual article).

Cesaro vs Ridge Holland.

Two European men slapping meat? Nice. Cesaro took the Distraction finish magic spell this time by Sheamus which led to a bodyslam from Ridge to Cesaro and the big oi bruf wins.

Sasha Banks And Toni Storm vs Charlotte Flair And Shotzi.

Apparently, according to Michael Cole, Sasha Banks was at the premiere of Spiderman: No Way Horn and all I can say is, OMG MEPHISTO?

Like Spiderman: No Way Horn, the tag match was actually pretty fun to match. Toni Storm was THE highlight of the match and that momentum of hers paid off here as she pinned the women's champion with a roll-up.

The Usos vs The New Day.

Aka the "beat the champion on an episode of wrestling TV in order to get a title opportunity at a PPV" cliche.

However, I can't complain too much as they had a decent match.

The New Day wins with a trouble in paradise to Jimmy Uso.

Roman Reigns Backstabbed Paul E Dangerously.

That was after he told Roman that he's protecting the tribal chief from the laser God himself, Brook Laser. Out came the beast himself and he laid waste on the entire bloodline.

Alexa, play I Love You by Lil B.

I like the ending for a few reasons. One, Heyman does all the talking for Brock Lesnar again seeing that the guy's mic skills is his weak spot.

Two, the story finally reaches its turning point which I've been waiting for months now and credit to the creative team for actually not rushing the entire arc up like they usually do with big-time rivalries.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The ending, Sasha Banks and Toni Storm vs Charlotte Flair and Shotzi.

Didn't like: nitpicking but not a fan of the "beat the champion for a title opportunity" cliche, another bad Happy Corbin segment.

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO." pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest. Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest. I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance. In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table. The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC. A fun opening match even though...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut. Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well. They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage. Highlights. Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens. And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything. The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!" With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock. Eddie Kingston (wi...
