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 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 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...

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...
