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 Vine? Somehow someway, Roman would still get booed outta the building. 

One last thing to note here is FINALLY,  SHOTZI IS A BABYFACE AGAIN! It would be even better if they bought back her last name. But at least according to Fightful's snitch, She's getting her tank back. 

RAW

There were some distraction finishes that'll make Vince McMahon jealous. Still, as a whole, the episode feels like a direct continuation of last week's show with a few additional hints for what's about to come next week (Omar, you basically described the word continuity OG).

In other words, the show was aight, I guess. 

The thing I've learned from Bobby Lashley's US title match with Seth Rollins is that Lashley's back is strong as f**k and I don't know if Lashley's flexing that he can take back shots or not. 

Also, Babyface Prizefighter? Honestly, Better than heel prize fighter Kevin Owens but I'm probably reaching. 

Bayley getting her long-awaited rematch against Bianca Belair for the women's title? Noice (I know it's not the same belt but you get my point). 

She's come a long way since that awful "This is Your Life" segment with Alexa Bliss and speaking of which, they had a solid match. 

Why's Dexter Lumis stalking Miz instead of going on a honeymoon with Indi Hartwell? No idea. Probably begging for a cameo for Miz's reality that everybody watches. 


I know it's a different format but productivity sucks so I gotta change things up ya know?

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...

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...
