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.“

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
