The 5 News Week: A Brand New NXT Championship Is Coming!?, Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday.

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.

And yes, It is a bit too early than the usual time that I post but I got things to do so why not, right? Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.

A Brand New NXT Championship Is Coming!?

This past week's episode of NXT saw Keith Lee winning the NXT title, ending Adam Cole's 403-day reign as NXT champion in the process.

And now, Lee is a double champ and according to Belt Fan Dan (a reliable piece of news when it comes to wrestling title belts), he pretty much said that the NXT Championship will be bigger but with the same design.

It kinda fits especially for a guy like Keith Lee based on my imagination regarding how the title will eventually look like. Very curious as to how it looks because like anything, I may or may not like it.

A Follow Up Regarding WWE Allowing Fans In Their Shows Again.

WWE Rumors: WWE editing Roman Reigns' fans reaction again

I know a lot of you guys would relate to this but I ain't going to be in a place with mass gathering until the pandemic.

That piece of news honestly scares me for obvious reasons but first, let me give you the info.

Wrestlevotes stated in a tweet that WWE is aiming for the return of the live crowd in late September.

Meanwhile, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful basically said last week on Fightful select that WWE hopes to bring back the fans but it is not "happening anytime soon."

Two weeks back, Mike Johnson over at PWInsider heard that WWE wanted to run live events outside of Full Sail and The PC starting in August but the timing is "premature".

I personally DO NOT want them to invite fans back in areas until the pandemic is over. They can't even handle the Covid-19 situation with a limited audience in their own facility so…….

WWE And AEW Are Finally Getting An Emmy Consideration!?

WWE nominated for 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards, Stephanie McMahon on ...

from Wrestleview

"For a long time, people have always wondered, when will WWE ever get an Emmy nomination?" Says no one ever.

All lame jokes aside, this could be big for the pro wrestling business as a whole.

From Dave Meltzer And Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via Fightful), WWE's two major brands (RAW and Smackdown) and AEW Dynamite are getting a nomination in the "Outstanding Structured Reality Program” category.

The category itself was established in 2014 and it contains "consistent story elements that mostly adhere to a recurring structured template."

Side note, In last year's ceremony, Netflix's Queen Eye won the Emmy for this exact category.

Edge On The Wednesday Night Showcase Of AEW Dynamite And NXT.

WWE news: Edge teases his mood ahead of his return on Monday Night ...

The Rated R Superstar did an interview with the clickbait giant, ScreenRant to promote his new movie "Money Plane".

During the conversation, he talked about the Wednesday Night showcase of two shows in NXT and AEW Dynamite and how it's a good thing:

"I think competition in anything is always a good thing. I think it forces people to up their game and not rest on their laurels.

I think, if I'm looking at it from the performer's aspect, it's another place to be able to ply your trade, and that's amazing. That's never a bad thing.

Just imagine if there was only one studio, if all there was was MGM. I like the fact that there's a bunch of different studios, and I think the same goes for wrestling. I think it ups everyone's game. As a wrestling fan, that's never a bad thing."

What he said.

Quick Thoughts On Smackdown Yesterday.

WWE SmackDown Results – July 10, 2020 | PWMania.com

I didn't post the usual Smackdown review on Saturday because I just didn't feel like reviewing a show.

After watching this episode, it gave me the feeling of not reviewing at all because this one was bad.

Why? Well, it included a meaningless segment that went nowhere and didn't benefit the division, mediocre matches with one match that has gotten more repeats than a syndicated Friends episode.

And you know what's the worst part? A UNIVERSAL TITLE MATCH THAT AIRED BACK IN MAY IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GOD FORSAKEN SHOW. By far, the worst pro wrestling TV episode of the year.

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

WWE RAW 9/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Yes, I didn't review Wrestlemania Backlash because one, I knocked out after a long day and two, why not? I did watch the show and it's like an episode of a Telltale game in that it's short and sweet. How was the red brand this week? Even though Wrestlemania Backlash is over, it still feels like I'm watching a build toward that show. It's like eating yesterday's leftovers with some fresh salad on the side, ya know. I'm hoping Hell In A Cell concludes everything. The Street Profits vs RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship. Hey, look. A good tag team match, playas! Yes, they've fought each other more times than Call Of Duty sequels but like I said, I enjoyed it. RKBRO retained the championship with an RKO from Riddle to Montez Ford. Rhea Ripley Is Now An Evil Goth Girl. She said, "f**k them, kids". Also, why's Edge rocking the "I believe in white genocide" look? Ripley had a match with Liv Morgan and of course, she won the w...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO." pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. Maybe I'm igno...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston. Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway. A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking. What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa. Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down. It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out? Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...
