The 5 News Week: Cody And The Young Bucks Behind A Wrestling Promotion!?, Smackdown and RAW TV Ratings

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. 

Cody And The Young Bucks Behind A Wrestling Promotion!?

Now, reports were going around the interwebs that Chris Jericho and Jim Ross were working on a new promotion backed up by the billionaire co-owner of Jacksonville Jaguars Tony Khan. Since those reports came out, both men denied it. However, the story isn't done yet because according to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks are the masterminds behind the company. 

WrestlingNews.co reported a story on multiple trademarks filed by a wrestling company called All Elite Wrestling, LLC such as AEW, AEW Double Or Nothing, AEW All Out, Tuesday Night Dynamite, ALL OUT, Double Or Nothing and All Elite Wrestling. 

Wrestletalk reported that at least two WWE superstars were personally approached on signing a new contract with that promotion once their WWE contracts expire. It is believed that they have accepted the deal and will leave WWE early next year. More specifically, April at the latest. 

They (Wrestletalk) haven't said on who those superstars are but expect the names to be revealed very soon. All I can say is that this could possibly be a gamechanger for the pro wrestling business and I'm interested in where this story goes. 

Smackdown and RAW TV Ratings

The RAW and Smackdown Live after the last big four PPV of the year Survivor Series ratings have been revealed and it's okay I guess? This week, RAW even with Monday Night Football going on at the same time, drew 2.49 million while Smackdown Live brought in at 2.15 million viewers with Smackdown Live ranked #2 on the top 50 original cable telecast for November 20, 2018 according to Showbuzz Daily. 

Gail Kim On Her Favourite Matches In WWE 

Even though she doesn't really talk about WWE all that much, she has put some decent matches in WWE whether if it's on her first or second run with the company. A fan on Twitter asked Gail Kim on her best matches in WWE and she replied with.......
She also replies to fans on her WWE wrestling memories


Braun Strowman Out Of Action Due To An Injury

Braun Strowman is in fact, injured and will not compete in the mixed match challenge due to a shattered elbow. His surgery is set for Monday, November 26 according to Mike Johnson over at PWInsider and it is believed to be a minor injury if the surgery is done. As of right now, WWE hasn't announced a replacement for Braun Strowman. I wish him the speediest of recovery. 

Two Matches Set For RAW This Coming Week

Oh boy, Two "exciting" matchups have been announced for the 26 November 2018 edition of RAW which is this Monday (No shit, Omar). One is a Tag team Title Match Between AO PEE PEE and the team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable. Two is Elias vs Black Lex Luger, Bobby Lashley. 

Well, I hope you're caught up with the news and let me know your thoughts on the news I just reported and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
