WWE Smackdown After Wrestlemania 38 | A Coherent Review

 Smackdown after Wrestlemania 38 was really, really, really skippable. Nothing noteworthy happened which unfortunately is the standard of all Smackdown after Wrestlemania episodes. 

Ronda Wanted A Rematch For The Blue Women's Belt In An I Quit Match At The Backlash Of Wrestlemania. 

Headline once again doing the lord's work by describing the entire segment. If you've watched Wrestlemania then this isn't surprising given how the match ended. 

Also, a black woman making a Susan tap out? I'm all for it. 

Xavier Woods vs Butch. 

Remember when Xavier Woods was once called "King Woods" because he won The King Of The Ring tournament? No? Well, so did WWE apparently. 

Nevertheless, the match was prettay good. After the Butcha bruf lost to Woods via an inside cradle, he decided to have a bit of a scuffle with Ridge Holland and Sheamus. 

Maybe this is the way to bring back the Peter Dune we know and love? Highly doubt that but I'm praying to Allah that it happens though. 

Gunther Destroys A Local Competitor. 

Local competitor aka a nice way to call someone a jobber. By the way, that theme song of his? Get rid of it because just like Arby's, it's f**king trash. The OG was way better like why the sudden change?  Speaking of change, Marcel Barthel is now Ludwig Kaiser named after that Youtube Guy. At least Gunther won the match, right? 

Happy Corbin Was Like, "Bro, you're just like Dolph Ziggler in that you're mid af". 

Corbin took his frustrations on Madcap Moss but failed as he was thrown out of the ring by the man himself. 

Midcap Moss no more? For real though, how long do you think that WWE would pull out an Alex Riley on Moss? My answer is not for long. 

Lacey Evans Is Back With An Origin Story About Her Life. 

I missed when she dressed as her grandmother and pretended to be someone in a time that white people would like to bring back. 

Sasha Banks vs Liv Morgan. 

The match itself was aight. Liv Morgan won the match with the most protective move in pro wrestling today, the roll-up. 

Drew McIntyre vs Sami Zayn. 

The Scotsman won the match via a count-out due to Zayn running all the way to the crowd area. Can they skip to the part where McIntyre faces Roman Reigns for the blue belt? I'll like that. 


And speaking of the tribal chief, the show ended with him telling his cousins in The Usos to bring the RAW tag team championship into the bloodline. Out came Shinsuke Nakamura and he was later attacked by The Usos after Roman Reigns "sympathized with his pain" of losing his tag team partner via an injury. 

It looks like Nakamura could be Roman's next feud and I'm all for it, honestly. It's about time that Shinsuke is elevated into the star that he should be. 

Other than that, the segment was, like the entire episode, pretty forgettable and skippable. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Xavier Woods vs Butch. 

Didn't like: The entire show was a good old waste of time.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
