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.

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut.  Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament.  As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well.  They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage.   Highlights.  Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens.  And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything.  The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!"  With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock.  Eddie Kingston (wi...
