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 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
