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

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.

I Hate To Break It To You Both @BeckyLynchWWE And @taylorswift13, But I’m THE MAN!!! And To Be THE MAN, You Gotta Beat THE MAN! WOOOOO! #theman
— Ric Flair® (@RicFlairNatrBoy) August 24, 2019

Becky Lynch has responded to this with no Fs given mode.

I am The Man.
— The Man (@BeckyLynchWWE) August 31, 2019

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.

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people. For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.

Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back. How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today. It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me. Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
