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 Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall. Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead. If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind. Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship. Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment. All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage. Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
