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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...

WWE Super Show Down | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for WWE Super Showdown and overall, WWE Super Showdown was an entertaining four hours of pro wrestling and here's why.  The New Day (c) vs The Bar for the SmackDown Live tag team championship  I do like the fact that this match opened the show but was it any good? Not really and the way it ended was weird? The match ends with Woods hitting the backstabber followed by a chest double stomp by Kofi to Cesaro and just like that, the new day wins. Decent match but not as great as the other matches they had on SmackDown Live.  Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live women's championship  Big "Let's go Becky Lynch" chants. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Anyways, the match was pretty good. Becky Lynch retains via a DQ by Becky Lynch. I'm going to assume that the rubber match will be a no DQ stipulation match of some sort at ev...
