The 5 News Week: TLC 2019 In Minnesota, Scarlet Bordeaux Joins NXT?

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.

Scarlett Bordeaux Joins NXT?

This news has kind of confused me for some reason. To summarize this, former Impact star Scarlett Bordeaux has removed upcoming independent dates because she had a WWE tryout last month (from Dave Meltzer and his Daily News Update) but hasn't mentioned her next move. That's when my boy Casey Michael over at Square Circle Sirens comes in.

According to him, Scarlett has signed with WWE under the NXT brand obviously and has been at the PC for days in preparation for her NXT debut which is "coming very soon". The current plan is to pair her with a male NXT star.

I'm gonna guess that it's Damian Priest because it kinda fits but it's highly unlikely. Casey previous mentioned in a tweet that it wasn't clear whether she'll be an enhancement or a featured talent.

TLC Takes Place In The Target Centre In Minnesota.

The Tables, ladders and chairs PPV has been a thing since 2009 and the 11th instalment based on a fun gimmick match will take place in the target centre in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This all came from the arena's website announcement:

"WWE returns to the Twin Cities with its first Pay Per View in over two years! Don’t miss WWE’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs at Target Center on December 15. See you favorite superstars put their bodies and careers in jeopardy at the most dangerous Pay Per View of the year, TLC!"

October 11th which is this coming Friday, is when the tickets will be on sale.

Is The Mae Young Classic 2019 A Reality Or Nah?

This was a misunderstanding but I hope that the tournament is a reality. NXT Tickets announced that the fan beloved tournament will take place next month on November 2nd and 3rd at Winter Park, Florida.

To answer the question in the title above, Sean Ross Sapp over at Fightful stated in a tweet and in their report about the Mae Young Classic 2019 news that it was posted in error. So, the answer is maybe? Look, just because they posted it by accident, that doesn't mean it's 100% false. Think about it.

Finn Balor On His NXT Return.

The Irish lad made his return to world wrestling entertainment under the black and gold brand which he talked about it in his interview with Newsweek which by the way, was the theme of that interview but here are the highlights:

About his longevity in NXT:

"Right now that's what it means. I'm going to wrestle whenever, whoever I want, that's something I've been chasing for quite some time in my career. I don't believe in any boundaries be it weight class, country, promotion... And I want to break those boundaries. I'm here at NXT to do that."

About his nervousness mixing up with the new guys:

"I have to be honest, it's a little nerve-wracking. The game has changed a lot in NXT since I was here,"

"Seeing the match Cole and Matt Riddle put on tonight, they are two of the absolute best in-ring competitors in the world. So it's a little nerve-wracking to get into the deep end with those guys. It's gotta be a challenge for myself in and out of the ring, and personally, to see if i can still go.

"It's been awhile since I've been here, and the NXT style has evolved incredibly. When I was here it was me and [Samoa] Joe, and back then, I don't want to say it was a slower pace, but it was definitely more rugged here and there. They are going fast, and it's going to be a test for me and I'm looking forward to it."

The Latest Episode Of 205 Live Was Nixed.

Well, it was quote "a late call" from the higher-ups at WWE according to John Pollock over at Post Wrestling. Instead, WWE played last week's episode on the network because the fans can't tell right?

Two matches were announced for this episode. One was Tony Nese vs Humberto Carrillo and two was Brian Kendrick vs Akira Tozawa. The social media posting of it was cancelled an hour after it was posted on the interwebs. Maybe they're putting all the cruiserweight action on NXT given that it is a 2-hour show now? I don't know but we will find out hopefully very soon.

What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

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. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself? I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television. AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan. From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...
