The 5 News Week: WWE Comes Back To MSG In 2020, An Update On Aliyah's Injury.

A rare Saturday edition of 5 news week but if you're new here, I publish this weekly news article every Sunday and the format goes like this. I report on 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately and I put them in one post. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.

An Update On Aliyah's Injury. 

Aliyah's heel persona is something I'm really warming up to. Unfortunately, Aliyah is taking time off due to her nose being broken but that kick from Xia Li to Aliyah's face last week on NXT TV was a work at least according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio earlier this week. 

Meltzer mentioned that the spot from Li was done to explain Aliyah's absence inside the square circle and the reason why Aliyah is taking an absence is that she's getting surgery on her nose. Wishing her a speedy recovery. 

Jimmy Havoc Fined For Using A Staple Gun. 

On this past week's episode of Dynamite, we saw Jimmy Havoc use a staple gun on pretty much everybody during the diamond dozen battle royal match. On the Twitta, AEW management has now "reprimanded Jimmy Havoc for utilizing a staple gun on Wednesday night in Indianapolis." 

They then went on to say that he's fine for his actions and he'll be fined again if he used a staple gun. I literally thought this was real when I read the headline but now it wasn't. 

WWE Comes Back To MSG For A Live Show In 2020. 

WWE returned to Madison square garden in early September for two nights in Monday night RAW and Smackdown and now, they're coming back to the garden for a RAW live event according to PWInsider and Mike Johnson

The date for the MSG show is on March 22nd, 2020 which is two weeks before Wrestlemania 36. The RAW and Smackdown Show on MSG was good so will see what WWE has in store for us on that show in 2020. 

An NXT Takeover Pre-show Match Is Set. 

Angel Garza is set to face Isiah "Swerve" Scott on the Takeover Wargames pre-show match following Garza's fantastic performance in the cruiserweight championship match last week against Lio Rush. 

This is the first time that an NXT Takeover pre-show will showcase a match so that's a no shit, Sherlock moment for you. 

Lacey Evans About Fans Thinking That She Moved To The Main Roster Early. 

The Sassy Southern Bell recently spoke with 101WKQX (that looks like a password) radio in Chicago with Kevin Kellam promoting the festivities that are going on with Survivor Series and Evans talked about how she didn't feel being called up to the main shows early (from Fightful): 

"Too early? Sweetheart. No such thing. People get what they deserve. I'm a hard worker and they saw that I could bring many things, including class to the main roster to Raw, to SmackDown on any brand that I'm put in," she quipped. "And that is exactly what I did. So, I mean, a lot of people may be mad because they're not in my position making the money that I'm making, but that has nothing to do with me."

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

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
