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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
