WWE RAW 20/6/22 | A Coherent Review.

RAW was okay. That's it. That's the intro.

Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley for the red women's belt ain't happening!?

The reason being is that Rhea Ripley isn't medically cleared to compete so a fatal five-way number one contender's match was set up to determine the new number one contender (spoilers, it's Carmella).

A decision I do not mind or flat out hate. My 1 and a half viewers will know that I've been critical of WWE's series of rematches but considering it was one of the best matches of the year (yes, I'm talking about Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch), why not run it back one more time?

Riddle vs Omos. Money In The Bank Qualifying Match.

Y'all are about to be so surprised when I tell you that Omos won a match again.

Omos wins with the double chokeslam to qualify for the Money In The Bank ladder match.

Seth Rollins showed up (used the "forehead loser sign" like every uncle in the 90s to Riddle), stated that he'll be the next Money In Bank briefcase winner and gave Riddle the good old stomp. Nice!

Yay! Another Meaningless Vince McMahon Segment.

Vince was just hyping up John Cena and I gotta ask, for why?

Yay! Another Pose Down From Austin "Attack On Titan" Theory.

Luckily, Bob Lashley ruined the whole segment by getting rid of Titan. Cool.

Angelo Dawkins vs Jey Uso.

A decent match for what it was. Despite the vicious super-kick Dawkins took, the former RAW tag team champion was still able to defeat Jey Uso with the Low Down.

Kevin Owens Is Still CONVINCED That Ezekiel Is Elias Even After The Elias And Ezekiel Backstage Segment.

The worst part about this segment was that Kevin believes that being French Canadian correlates with intelligence.

Elias gave Owens a beating because why not, right? All jokes aside, it's great to see Elias after a 9 or so month hiatus.

Bobby Lashley Against Alpha Academy And Titan Theory.

No, it isn't a handicap match but rather a gauntlet match (how 2019 of you, WWE). And after what it feels like an eternity, Lashley emerged victorious even with the odds stacked against him.

AJ Styles Called "A Failure" By Miz On Miz TV.

Styles responded that minutes later with a strike using the mic to The Miz. Styles then had a match with Ciampa and successfully defeated the former 2-time NXT champion with a phenomenal forearm (literally a Wrestlemania-worthy match).

Sucks that Ciampa is replacing the role of Finn Balor in being kinda there.

After that, Miz failed in his attack on Styles and instead, he ate a styles clash.

Veer Mahaan proves once again in an interview with Kevin Patrick that he is indeed an Indian Gigachad.

Asuka vs Becky Lynch. Money In The Bank Qualifying Match.

Hey look, a good match. Asuka defeated Becky Lynch to win the match and qualify for the Money In The Bank ladder match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Asuka vs Becky Lynch, chad Veer Mahaan.

Didn't like: Vince McMahon, a whole lotta meh, Ciampa replaced the role of Balor as being kinda there.

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 ...
