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.

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.  This is also the last 5 News Week of the year if you don't count the annual 5 News Week look back which yes, I am working on.  3 and a half years of talking about the wild world that is professional wrestling and I appreciate all 2 of y'all that mess with my coherent reviews, this series and the bi-monthly editorials.  Impact Wrestling's Johnny Swinger Thought Bray Wyatt Was At Bound For Glory!?  During a discussion with Allan ‘Kwee Wee’ Funk’s ‘Get Funk’d’ show (a name so wild, that statement is coming from a guy that calls himself a Playa), the formerly Johnny Parisi mentioned how he thought The weird bushy Floridian, Bray Wyatt, was at this past year's Bound For Glory PPV but then Johnny witnessed the KISS Demon (From Post Wrestling ): "Bro, I didn’t know unt...

Top 7 Best TV Wrestling Matches Of 2020.

2020 was to quote the 5 News Week Look Back article , "eventful, awful, wild and surprisingly quick."  That doesn't mean there weren't some good wrestling to watch on television so here it is.  My and I repeat MY top 5 best TV matches of 2020. some images via WWE.com #7 Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin. AEW TNT Championship Semi-Finals Bout.  This list includes two matches that starred two people with fantastic chemistry. One of them is this gem of an encounter between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. All elite wrestling has introduced a brand new championship for the mid-card and was contested via a good old fashioned tournament.  The matches were fine but one of them stood out amongst the rest.  That, of course, being the Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin bout at the tournament's semi-finals.  Allin actually pulled off a crossrhodes that looked so good that I don't mind him adding it to his arsenal.   The finish was executed a bit poorly which is why it is lower...
