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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event. Images via WWE.com Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together? Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?). Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos. That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie". The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again? The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW). However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this? It's not terri...

WWE RAW 20/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Monday Night RAW felt like if last week's show had a sequel if that analogy makes sense? It didn't have a new, fresh take on the show and they instead played it safe which is fine. In this case, adding a few risks will definitely help the show from the overall feeling of emptiness metaphorically speaking of course. Drew McIntyre Addresses The Man That Stomped Him Twice. McIntyre opens a Monday Night RAW show with a promo for the second episode in a row. He wasn't shocked that Seth Rollins attacked him last week due to his new price possession and how the superstars want that taste of gold. Angel Garza's music hits and the current United States champion, Andrade, strikes Drew but that led to not one but two claymore kicks on Andrade. A decent opening segment. Did its job on building the main event match between Garza and Drew McIntyre. It must be cool for Angel Garza to go one on one with THE WWE champion. A definite car...

WWE RAW 3/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

I thought I would never say this but so far, I'm actually looking forward to Super showdown 2020 and this episode further explains why. The red brand did a great job on building two upcoming shows and WWE should be applauded for that in my opinion (also, the crowd tonight was on fire. Shout out to Salt Lake City). Randy Orton Respond About His Actions Last Week. Following a brutal attack from the viper last week and a video package to open this very show, Randy explains his actions by not explaining much saying that he can't do this with a storm of boos that rivalled Salt Lake City's snowstorm earlier that day. This was a brilliant segment. He continues to show emotion about what he did last week despite not saying much. It was short but sweet. Liv Morgan vs Lana. After the second victory in a row for Liv Morgan, Riott Squad leader Ruby Riott returned to betray her best friend and Lana used that attack from Ruby to further...
