The 5 News Week: Nor Diana's Story As A Muslim Female Pro Wrestler, Paul Heyman Rumoured To Be Behind Sasha Banks' Heel Turn?

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. 

Paul Heyman Rumoured To Be Behind Sasha Banks' Heel Turn? 

Paul Heyman has made some plot decisions in the creative team for the red brand since his role executive director has to quote the rapper Rick Ross, "initiated". 

One of those creative choices he has assembled was Sasha Banks' recent heel turn and the promo she cut on this past week's episode of RAW according to Wade Keller of PWtorch via his hotline show. 

That promo she cut was executed decently yet it was written pretty indistinctly in terms of emotional impact in the story Banks' part of with Becky Lynch. Hopefully, she actually works with better-written material because that was not Paul Heyman's best work behind the scenes. 

Nor Diana's Story As A Muslim Female Pro Wrestler. 

Nor Diana is a   Malaysian Muslim professional wrestler who goes under the nickname of the "Phoenix". Now, if that name sounds familiar that's because Now This posted a video back in mid-July about this young wrestler that has 1886 likes on Twitter as of writing this which was promoted by the current Smackdown star in Ali. 

Nor was recently interviewed by Al Jazeera and she mentions that her goal is joining World Wrestling Entertainment:

 “I have a goal to wrestle in WWE, “I think I can bring something to the wrestling industry. I want people to see me as a wrestler, and not just as some Muslim hijab girl. “

She has also said about the transition from utilizing a mask to wearing a headscarf with confidence:

"When I started I was always worried that I don't belong in wrestling as I wear a hijab. I was worried what people would say about a Muslim girl wrestling. But I always trained in my scarf, and I started feeling more comfortable and confident, and decided to wear it to the ring. My bosses were really supportive of my decision."

Guys, check out the rest of the interview from Al Jazeera. It's really inspiring and it keeps making people make a difference especially to the young kids out there. 

Authors Of Pain Supposed To Be Part Of That Turmoil Match On RAW But Why The Last Minute Change? 

I'll tell you why *hitting my head like Simon Miller*. From Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Radio, they were going to be part of that tag team turmoil match and perform pretty well but they would lose to the odd couple in Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. That was scrapped by Vinnie Mac himself. 

Dave said that The Authors Of Pain wouldn't necessarily make it to the finals and I think that the Heavy Machinery spot aka the final tag team in that match was the Authors Of Pain spot based on pure speculation on my part. 

The Usos Coming Back To Action.

The Usos hasn't been on TV for a whole month now and the reasons were probably Jimmy Usos' recent DUI arrest. In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave stated that the former 6-time tag team champions are expected to return for in-ring action. 

Ric Flair Filed "The Man" Trademark. 

There's no denying that Flair is one of if not the GOAT in the square circle but that decision is an odd one. Ric Flair LLC trademarked the short sentence "The Man" on the 26 of August which was 5 days ago as of writing this. One of his famous lines was "to be the man, you have to beat the man" so there you go. 

Also, Wrestlingnews.co brought up an interesting point in an article about this that Ric Flair called out Taylor Swift and Becky Lynch via Twitter that Flair is the man. That tweet, by the way, was posted two days before the trademark was filed. 

Becky Lynch has responded to this with no Fs given mode. 
I guess I have to put the ™ in the man whenever I referred a legend as "the man, the myth, the legend". 


I know I usually post the 5 news weeks on Sunday but two wrestling shows are happening on Sunday morning my time so I gotta get this out of the way first. What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 19/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

As usual, RAW was terrible. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. However, this time it’s only what’s bad and what's okay because you know why. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD The opening segment RAW starting off with a bland, boring, formulaic (in a bad way) and generic opening segment and the unfortunate thing is that this formula ain’t ending anytime soon. Now, they announced officially a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but with one condition given to both participants of that match.  If Baron Corbin wins then he’s permanently the RAW general manager. If Braun Strowman wins then he’s facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin then made a six-man tag match and Stephanie McMahon made it the opening match of this show and speaking of which……   WHAT’S OK Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and ...

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru...

The 5 News Week: Is Rey Mysterio RETIRING!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!?  Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad.  Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old.  From Fightful Selectrinos , the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused.  Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!?  My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess).  And kinda bad news I guess for the talented ...
