WWE Royal Rumble 2022 | A Coherent Review.

Royal Rumble 2022. Sponsored by a Logic song from 9 years ago, you know, before his corny arc.

It's my 4th year reviewing the annual Royal Rumble show and so, a question you may be wondering (you weren't but for the sake of it), how does this PP…….excuse me, premium live event hold up compared to the recent Royal Rumble shows?

It was just kinda there. Other than the opening contest, the program didn't do much for me.

Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins For The Universal Championship.

What a way to kick this PLE (doesn't have a ring to it) with this absolute banging of bangers.

While yes, the bout ended via a DQ due to Roman Reigns still locking on the guillotine, the context of the story being told with Rollins wearing the Shield attire and the way the former universal champion disrespected the current universal champion last night, made a whole lot of sense.

In other words, I thought the entire thing was f**king brilliant storytelling if you ask me.

2022 Women's Royal Rumble Match.

I'm not going to describe every single thing that happened in this match because your favourite white-bearded guys got you covered.

Rather, I'll highlight some of the things that happened in this huge encounter. The first of which being that everyone's favourite entrance, Melina showed up and got eliminated quicker than it takes for me to fill my green tea every morning.

Naomi and Susan Deville's rivalry continued here and it was by far, the best thing they've done with this arc so far with Deville eliminating Cameron that led to Naomi eliminating her.

Ivory wanted to make her statement but Ripley had the right to censor her a** by throwing the former women's champion over the top rope. Ivory's living the dream of all Kevin Samuels' viewers with her promo.

As soon as Ronda Rousey made her WWE return, I knew who was going to win the whole thing. Which she eventually did. You mean to tell me that we saw back to back black women Royal Rumble winners?

Gotta love black women succeeding.

Becky Lynch vs Doudrop For The RAW Women's Championship.

WWE went ahead with the one on one match instead of a 4-way match between Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Doudrop and Becky Lynch that I thought would happen. Props, I guess?

Becky walked out of St Louis still the RAW women's champion with a handle slam from the top rope.

Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship.

Roman Reigns said, "I never forgot you, Brock". Why did I say that?

Well, during the closing moments of the match, Roman speared Lesnar which was followed by Heyman giving Reigns the WWE title and nailed it on Brock's head.

That gave Bob an opportunity to pin an unconscious Brock to become a 2 time WWE champion.

I smell a match at Wrestlemania (no f**king sh*t, Omar).

Edge And Beth Phoenix vs The Miz And Maryse.

All 2 of you, know how I feel about this rivalry so I'll not repeat the fact that it's a feud based on a 2010 match on a random Smackdown episode.

The match was kinda okay though. The grit couple prevailed in this mixed tag team encounter with a double glam slam.

2022 Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Not gonna lie, this was the most underwhelming Royal Rumble match I've ever seen. I got nothing to say other than 2 time Brook Laser Royal Rumble winner.

Nice seeing Bad Bunny. For real though, Brocky didn't need the Royal Rumble victory for the simple reason that the match at Wrestlemania for the blue belt has already been established based on the WWE championship bout earlier.

I think an AJ Styles win would've been cool since a Styles and Lashley title match is a fresh match-up.

Another Royal Rumble match victory that should've happened is Big E.

A story of him being blindsided with the fatal 5-way match that led to his title loss only to build his momentum up, could've been great too.

This entire encounter felt so meaningless and unnecessary in its execution which cannot be the case since I'm talking about the freaking Royal Rumble match.

Way to go, laser man!

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins, some of the women's Royal Rumble match surprises.

Didn't like: Men's Royal Rumble match.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live. WHAT'S GOOD New day's celebration You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment. Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand. If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too. *Cue the intro* Are you Ready? Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment. No one needs it. No one needs it. No one needs it. Even Bischoff. Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*. The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy". Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares). Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be. Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show. McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules. Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater. In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year. So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match? It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
