Money In The Bank 2020 Quick Predictions
Since this year's Money In The Bank PPV airs tomorrow and the news this week has been kinda slow, I thought it would be an appropriate time to write down my quick Money In The Bank predictions. Oh, and the predictions are highlighted in bold letters:
PRE-SHOW: Jeff Hardy vs Cesaro (obviously duh).
Both Money In The Bank ladder matches are happening at the same time.
AJ Styles vs Otis vs Aleister Black vs King Corbin vs Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio.
Lacey Evans vs Dana Brooke vs Carmella vs Asuka vs Nia Jax vs Shayna Baszler.
The New Day vs Lucha House Party vs Forgotten Sons vs The Miz And John Morrison For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Bayley vs Tamina For The SmackDown Women's Championship.
R Truth vs MVP (huh?).
Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins For The WWE Championship.
Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt For The Universal Championship.
Why Has Akira Tozawa Been Consistently Featured On RAW As Of Late?
As far as WWE dot com is telling me, Akira Tozawa is a Monday Night RAW competitor even though it feels like he's part of NXT just like other NXT superstars that made their appearance on RAW frequently like Brendan Vick and Shane Throne which defeats the purpose of a "unique set of rosters across all WWE brands" but I'm just nitpicking.
Now, why has Akira Tozawa been showcased a lot on RAW with consistent loss efforts? Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer (from Wrestlingworld.co) stated that it's simply because Paul Heyman, the executive director of the red brand, is a fan of Tozawa.
Akira is a great competitor and while he hasn't won a single match on RAW this year, I do appreciate that his talents are broadcasted to the world (I wish that WWE would explain the sudden call up for NXT wrestlers to Monday Nights and vice versa but as I said earlier, I'm just nitpicking).
Kazuchika Okada Gave A Huge Donation To Coronavirus Relief Fund.
Kazuchika Okada did something extraordinary but this time it's not his performance in various matches but rather a big donation to a relief fund.
To be more specific, Okada donated 5 million Japanese yen or $46,870.90 to a Covid-19 relief fund for the Nippon Foundation which is a non-profit organization focused in healthcare, education and maritime industry based in Tokyo, Japan.
The donation will quote "support doctors, nurses, volunteer groups and other supportive activities".
The former 5-time IWGP heavyweight championship talked about his donation in a statement reading (from f4wonline.com):
"I’m always grateful for NJPW fans’ support, and it’s my hope that I can get back to hearing the cheers of sold out crowds as soon as possible.
It’s usually me receiving the support and power of the people, but now I feel it’s my turn to lend support to medical staff fighting this disease.
I hope fans continue to stay home and stay healthy, so that we can return to the ring as soon as possible."
NJPW's response since the pandemic began is something to be praised. The company has reportedly been paying their talents and staff with benefits which the news turned to be the case thanks to Tama Tonga's interview with WrestlingInc.
Stars like Hiroshi Tanahashi told the Japanese government that professional wrestling should be the last medium of entertainment to come back.
New Japan ain't making a lot of money and yet, their number one priority right now is the health and well-being of its workers. For that, NJPW gets a major shout out from me.
DuckTales Aired A Pro Wrestling Themed Episode.
I don't know if you've heard of this but there's this little show that aired from 1987 till 1990 called "DuckTales" (sarcasm of course). The show was rebooted in 2017 with critical praise averaging about 100% critical rating.
The 7 episode of the 3rd season titled "The Rumble for Ragnarok!” was aired yesterday that pretty much combine Norse mythology and pro-wrestling based on the reviews and the trailer that I watched.
I should really watch the show, huh?
A Mickie James Segment From 2006 Was Cut!?
Mickie James showed up to WWE television as a psychotic fan of Trish Stratus that resulted in a unique yet enjoyable feud between Mickie James and Trish Stratus.
In the feud, a segment about Mickie interacting with a skeleton of her granddad in a rocking chair, was supposed to air in the lead up to Wrestlemania 22 according to former WWE writers, Brian Gewirtz and Alex Greenfield via Twitter.
YES! Magic even got the skeleton; we were going to do the gag from the end of PSYCHO. I can't remember why it got spiked for the life of me.— Alex Greenfield (@alexdgreenfield) May 9, 2020
Flip side, that still is from my favorite shoot of the entire program!
This is something that would turn out to be horrible? Like anything, yes but Mickie in that role was so good that she would pull off an amazing performance.
