The 5 News Week: Quick Elimination Chamber Predictions, RUMOUR: Batista Coming Back to WWE?

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.

Quick Elimination Chamber Predictions. 

Since this has been a slow news week, I decided to give out my quick Elimination Chamber predictions (The bold letters are my pick to win on each match): 

Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa For The Cruiserweight Championship.

Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin In A No DQ Match. 

Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Ruby Riott For The RAW Women's Championship. 

Shane McMahon and The Miz Aka McMiz (c) vs. The Usos for The Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship. 

Finn Bálor vs Bobby Lashley (c) and Lio Rush. Two On One Handicap Match For The Intercontinental Championship. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley aka Boss n' Hug Connection vs. Nia Jax and Tamina vs. The Riott Squad vs. The IIconics vs. Fire and Desire aka Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville vs. Naomi and Carmella. Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. 

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy. Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Championship. 

RUMOUR: Batista Coming Back to WWE? 

Batista has stated in interviews that he wants to come back to WWE. According to Ryan Satin over at Pro Wrestling Sheet, The animal is in talks with WWE on a potential Wrestlemania 35 match however it's a 50/50 chance. AEW has an interest in him but he's not turning them away and wants to hear what both companies offer. 

Mike Johnson over at PWinsider reported that Batista did meet with WWE almost two Thursdays ago. Considering that the Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol3 project is on hold, I think the possibility of a Dave Batista in-ring return is pretty high.  

The Rock Gave Jericho A Shout Out On Twitter About AEW Selling Out.

Yea, you read that title right. AEW posted a video that had a promo cut by Chris Jericho on Twitter. The Rock replied that tweet with: 

This reminds me of Hornswoggle told a story on how The Rock met him and thought that he was a make a wish kid. In other words, this little interaction was fun. 

A Bizarre Report Of The Reasoning For Jimmy Usos’ Arrest. 

As you might know, TMZ broke the story about Jimmy Uso arrested after a drunken altercation with the police. What bothered me about this was the rumoured motivation for Jimmy's action. According to FOX news (really? FOX news?), the reason why Jimmy Uso did it was so that he and his wife Naomi wanted to get fired by WWE (Huh?).  

First off, why would AEW sign somebody that wanted to get fired by fighting with a cop? What are they, TNA from the mid to late 2000s that wanted to sign every wrestler that left WWE regardless of their history? Secondly, why would Jimmy Uso get in that kind of trouble just to leave WWE? Jimmy Uso is smarter than that. This whole report from FOX News is indeed bizarre and hopefully not true.

Booker T Went Out Of His Way To Work With Cody Rhodes In Late 2011. 

Booker T recently did an episode of "Heated Conversations" and he talked about how he went out of his way to work with Cody Rhodes in late 2011. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestlingInc for the transcript): 

"People may not realize it or anything, but I’ve never asked for an angle to do anything in this business throughout my whole career. I’ve never went to the office and said, ‘Hey, man, what kind of programs I’m going to be in,’ or anything. The only time that I ever did that, now that I can remember, because I’ve been telling people that I never did that before, the only time I can ever remember doing that is when I did the angle with Cody Rhodes". 

"I requested that because I always thought Cody was a guy that could work on that next level. I always thought Cody could be World Championship material, so I said, let me go out here and let me show the world how good Cody Rhodes is. I always thought Cody Rhodes was The Dream, I thought he was the heir apparent. I thought he was going to take that baton and go to the next level with it…This guys has the tools to make it to the next level. So I said, let me go out here and work with him and put him over. Make him shine like new money and lay down for him right in the middle of the ring, 1-2-3 at the end of the day. It’s not about me, it’s not about me. That’s what that thing was all about.“

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

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
