The 5 News Week: Reports On Goldust’s Contract Situation, Maryse On A Possible Return 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.

WWE To Unite The RAW and The Smackdown Live Women’s Championships At Wrestlemania 35? 

On this past week’s episode of Smackdown Live, we’ve witnessed Charlotte put on a great match with Asuka for the Smackdown Live women’s championship to which Charlotte captured the championship. Making her an 8-time women’s champion. 

Anyways, since that title change, Rumours has been going around that WWE might unify the RAW and Smackdown Live women’s championships at Wrestlemania 35. I did some digging and that rumour came from Slice Wrestling and they’re not a reliable entity. Always guys, check who’s the source because then you’ll know who’s legit or not. 

Initial Plans For The Smackdown Live Women’s Championship Match At Wrestlemania 35. 

Speaking of the Smackdown Live women’s championship, the initial plan according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is that Asuka was set to defend her Smackdown Live women’s championship at Wrestlemania against the person that won the fatal four way number one contenders match on this past week’s episode of Smackdown Live but that match was obviously cancelled and replaced by a Smackdown women’s title match. 

That person was apparently Mandy Rose and the reason behind the cancellation of the fatal four-way match was because WWE felt that Wrestlemania 35 has too many matches. I completely understand where WWE is coming from but like I said on my Smackdown Live Review (which you can click here), Charlotte’s win over Asuka still has made me ask more questions than answers. Will see how WWE addresses that on RAW or Smackdown this coming week. 

Triple H On If He Would Move The Usual Takeover Show Date Once Smackdown Airs On FOX During Mania Weekend. 

Triple H was recently in a media conference call that lasted about 37 minutes and he was asked a number of different questions including a question asked by Jason Powell over at Prowrestling.net about if Triple H would move the NXT Takeover show to Thursday instead of Saturday. That question appeared around the 14:55 mark. Here’s what Triple H had to say about that: 

“I think from a live event standpoint and from I mean just speaking of top of my head, like I think that a weekend just from a as people go to events and watch things on the network and everything, a Saturday is probably better than a Thursday but obviously that's something we’re working through now of the dates and when things will be and be on sale.” 

He continues on: 

“The shift to Smackdown to Fridays and being on FOX and broadcast and everything, it fundamentally shifts a lot of things for us so that's all stuff we been doing a lot of work on since the moment that deal was announced and will do it right, probably to and beyond the moment we do that first show. It’s gonna change a lot of what we do and there's a lot of work to be done on what that means.” 

Reports On Goldust’s Contract Situation. 

Now, If you’ve not seen him on TV for some time it’s because Goldust or Dustin Rhodes has been dealing with an injury but that’s not the story I reporting on. I, of course, am talking about Dustin’s contract situation. 

From Pro Wrestling Sheet and Ryan Satin, Rhodes’ WWE contract has been expired and he’s waiting for his 90 day no compete part of his contract to end. Dustin Rhodes should be free in May. Hmmm? 

Dustin actually responded about this report via Twitter and here’s what he had to say: 

"I am still under contract with the @wwe, and everything that is being said online is just talk, and complete bullshit. This is exactly why I hate smart marks!"

Keep in mind that he hasn’t given a solid reason as to why this is not true considering that Pro Wrestling Sheet and Ryan Satin is usually a reliable site. 

However, given that a 90 day no compete clause happens when a performer asks for a release and not when a contract is expiring, I could see why some fans are sceptical.

Maryse On A Possible Return To WWE. 

Maryse recently sat down with Hollywood life and in it, Maryse was asked if she would come back to WWE. Here’s what she said about it: 


“You never know, I’m not even thinking about it right now because I just honestly want to enjoy my life and my pregnancy. Now that I have Monroe and I’m pregnant again, honestly it goes by so fast.”

Maryse then continues on: 

“I think that the WWE values me, and I’ve been with them for over 15 years on and off, so, I would honestly say I don’t know, and I’m open to it, but we’ll have to see. And the WWE is all about bragging rights, because we’re competitive…That’s the WWE, that’s the life that we live, you never what’s gonna happen.”

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 Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

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...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
