WWE RAW 1/8/22 | A Coherent Review.

With Triple H making some changes for the overall WWE creative process and the end of the "Jeff Jarrett weekend", I gotta make some changes as well (at least for the site) because this is going to be the last solo RAW review since I'm going to combine both of my thoughts on RAW and Smackdown called "the cohesive WWE perspective".

So yeah, how was RAW? Well, It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a VERY long time. I guess no more, " RAW Is as insane and bad as the current season of Riverdale" jokes, right?

Becky remembered who she was during her encounter with Bianca Belair.

That promo ruled and as a guy that didn't like her heel run all that much since her comeback last year, I gotta say that I'm glad she's going back babyface due to the fact that heel Bex was so vanilla for my liking.

After Bianca showed some respect to the man, the new trio known as Io Sky, Dakota Kai and Bayley attacked Becky's injured shoulder.

They also attacked Asuka and Alexa Bliss to which Bianca challenged one of Bayley's posse to a match that also ended in shenanigans.

I guess heels are doing heel things, am I right? That episode made me say, "I'm on board" with that stable. It just feels so different from what we're used to seeing for I would argue, years.

Never mind the bits of the US exceptionalism propaganda earlier with that promo package, I do appreciate WWE's emphasis on the mid-card championship because that division sure needs some build-up.

Some of the best wrestling storylines happened within that department (*cough Mandy Rose and Otis*).

AJ Styles vs Mustafa Ali vs The Miz. Winner Gets A United States Championship Opportunity Later In The Night.

FINALLY! A wrestling match that didn't last more than 5 or so minutes (this ain't a 90-day finance episode clopped up into 4 minutes on YouTube).

The way the match ended was probably the greatest thing I've ever seen, no joke. Ali hits the 450 followed by the styles clash and that's how AJ got a championship opportunity.

Seth Rollins and The Street Profits exchanged words on who took the most Ls.

That led to a match between Montez Ford and Seth Rollins and it ruled harder than every manager at work (what a lame a** way to describe a great match). Rollins defeated the former RAW and Smackdown tag team champion with the stomp.

Ciampa vs Dolph Ziggler vs Chad Gable. Winner Gets A United States Championship Opportunity Later In The Night.

Another fantastic triple threat match. Ciampa took the W with a fairytale ending to Gable.

Edge was like, "I'm going to end Judgement Day" which made me as a Muslim go, "huh?".

My headlines may go to Jahannam for that joke but Dominik kinda tasted it after taking an accidental spear from Edge after trying to stop the Judgement Day from further beating up The Mysterios.

AJ Styles vs Ciampa. Winner Faces Bobby Lashley For The United States Championship.

Yes, the WWEisms crept in at the end but the match itself was pretty fun to watch. Thanks to The Miz, Ciampa nailed the fairytale ending to AJ and will go on to face Bob the lash man for the United States title.

The other refreshing part about all of this is no more meaningless and mundane rematches.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Wrestling bro, some wrestling, the entire stable of Bayley, Io Sky and Dakota Kai, an emphasis on the United States championship.

Didn't like: saying "nothing really" is wild on a Monday night RAW episode but here were are.

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...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So. Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ): “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat. Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction. Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

The 5 News Week: What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?, Xavier Woods Talks About The Racial Injustice In The US.

Yes, The 5 New Week made its return after a 2-week hiatus and I wanna admit something to you guys. Last year, I was really looking forward to 2020 and how unlike 2019, I'm actually going to maintain a schedule of articles I put out every week (which you can see the entire thing by clicking on the about page). But, I certainly didn't and it really bothers me that I have to not publish an article due to personal life or a struggle with fighting against my mortal enemy, laziness. The inconsistencies of the articles I publish will continue and that's the sad part. Anywho, on with the news. What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!? Last week, Fightful Select and Sean Ross Sapp stated that Kairi Sane was badly injured that involved a cut on her head during a match with Nia Jax. Now, whenever the words " x wrestler injured " and " Nia Jax " are in the same sentence then you'll know the rest of the song. Fast forward to this pas...
