The 5 News Week: WWE Doesn't Have Big Plans For Daniel Bryan, Backstage Details About The Inner Workings Of Evolution.

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. 


NXT Takeover Is A Can't-Miss Show (No shit, Omar) 

Why you ask? I mean for God sakes, the match card so far consists of a War Games match between The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong) vs. Pete Dunne, Ricochet, and War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe), Alester Black vs Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs Velveteen Dream for the NXT championship. I would love a hell in a cell match of some sort between Black and Gargano but that's just me. NXT Takeover: War Games is set to take place on Saturday, November 17, 2018. 

WWE Doesn't Have Big Plans For Daniel Bryan  

Daniel Bryan had his WWE championship match early on Smackdown Live this week against the champion AJ Styles which was supposed to be on Crown Jewel and the reason why it isn't on that show is because Bryan didn't want to be there for reasons such as Saudi Arabia didn't want Sami Zayn, who's of Syrian descent, to be on the Greatest Royal Rumble show several months ago which Bryan felt it was racist and the treatment of homosexuals. This by the way, was noted by Meltzer in the recent Observer Newsletter. 

Now, Bryan Alveraz was asked on The Wrestling Observer Live with Mike Sempervive about if Daniel Bryan tapping out was a form of punishment and here's what Bryan Alveraz had to say (Transcript via Ringside news):

I was told that the finish on SmackDown last night was the Crown Jewel finish. So it looks like no big plans for Daniel Bryan throughout the rest of the year. He had just won a tournament for a championship match at Crown Jewel and he didn’t want to go to Crown Jewel so they had their match on SmackDown and they had a finish and everyone else moves on.”

Will see where Daniel Bryan and the WWE Championship scene goes from here. 

Backstage Details About The Inner Workings Of Evolution

There's no doubt that this was the first ever all women's PPV filled with great matches such as Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women's championship and Shayna Baszler vs Kari Sane for the NXT Women's championship. 

According to PWinsider, the same production crew that worked for the NXT shows worked on Evolution and the reason being is because the same production crew for RAW and Smackdown were in Charlotte, North Carolina to start production for RAW that day. Kevin Dunn didn't direct Evolution but rather it was the same person who directed the Takeover shows. As for Vince himself well he arrived just before the show started and "observed the show" for most of the night. 

Owner of Jimmy's Famous Seafood Raising Funds In Aid Of Roman Reigns 

On last week's RAW on the opening segment, Roman Reigns broke the news that he has leukaemia. Relinquished the Universal championship in the process. Jimmy's Famous seafood which maintains a great relationship with wrestlers given that they praised their food and the restaurant features bullet club theme merchandise. They heard the news and they, in fact, are raising money for leukaemia research and here's what John Minadakis the restaurant owner said about this to sports illustrated:

Finding out that Roman has leukaemia was like a punch to the gut,” “He’s an incredible friend, so I was shocked when I heard.


“He helped me fight through my depression. When I blew out my knee, he would always check on me and tell me about the mental aspect of recovery. Now I believe that Roman will be the face of someone who can defeat cancer.” 

he then continues...

From now on, until he defeats it, we’re going to put all our muscle and community efforts behind leukaemia research.”  "Roman also surprised one of the kids from Baltimore with a trip to WrestleMania, That’s something he set up himself with WWE.”

"There are so many people behind him,” “I want to show the power of the community behind him, and I want him to see that. It means a lot to him, he needs it, and it’s our turn to step up and do something for him".


WWE Are Planning On Debuting New Talent This January

 And finally, according to The Wrestling Observer newsletter and Dave Meltzer, WWE are getting ready to sign and debut new group of talent as early as January of 2019 and are scheduled to undergo the routine medicals later this month. Meltzer also mentioned that they are notable stars in major wrestling companies but he hasn't mentioned their names but expect that to come out in the coming days. 

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...
