The 5 News Week: An Update Regarding Kairi Sane Coming Back To Japan, Extreme Rules Quick Predictions.


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.

An Update Regarding Kairi Sane Coming Back To Japan.

 There were reported stories about Kairi Sane going back to Japan whether it's serving as a WWE ambassador in Japan according to Fightful select (because the company wants to open an NXT performance centre over there). 

 Or planning to stay with WWE for another year or so until she retires and goes back to Japan and be with her husband essentially according to Alex McCarthy of TalkSport. 

 Or as Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter believes, Sane wants to leave the company once her contract expires. 

 And now, a reputable site has a say in this story. Tokyo Sports stated that Kairi Sane is going to return to her home country but the news will be announced around SummerSlam time (based on Google Translate):  

 Although I don't yet know what shape to choose, it seems that there will be some announcement by the summer festival "Summer Slam" (August 23). WWE Japan said, "We have not received any information here."

 Should be interesting. 

Let's Talk About The #NaomiDeservesBetter.

 Two weeks ago on this very series, I just ranted about Naomi being one of the most underutilized performers in the history of that company and then we got this hashtag trending. Coincidence? 

 After this week's episode of Smackdown hit the archives, fans have been vocal about how Naomi has been written on television, hence the hashtag "#NaomiDeservesBetter". 

 It was so popular that you had Akeelah and the Bee herself, Keke Palmer tweeting out that she would love to play Naomi in a movie.

I'm going to post what I said a few weeks ago because it bears repeating: 

 "Naomi's current utilization in WWE scratches my head. Her return at this year's Royal Rumble was so popular that it had Black Twitter talking. 

 There was even a non-wrestling fan that made a Naomi artwork because of what that person saw. 

 That right there is the power of representation in media and the fact that WWE didn't keep the water boiling speaks volumes. 

 Because of it, it actually turned out to be one of the most missed booking opportunities in recent memory. Rant over."

The Horror Show At Extreme Rules Quick Predictions. 

WWE Extreme Rules 2020: Matches, date, start time, when & where to ...


 Since this was a bit of a slow news week, I thought it would be appropriate to list off some quick predictions for The Horror Show At Extreme Rules. My predictions are highlighted in bold letters (Side note, Asuka and Sasha Banks will be a fun watch): 

 Braun Strowman vs "The Eater Of Worlds" Bray Wyatt In A Swamp Fight. 

 Asuka vs Sasha Banks For The RAW Women's Championship. 

 Bayley vs Nikki Cross For The Smackdown Women's Championship. 

 Drew McIntyre vs Dolph Ziggler For The WWE Championship. 

 The New Day vs Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura In A Tables Match. 

 Apollo Crews vs MVP For The United States Championship. 

 Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins In An Eye For An Eye Match (Other than the Asuka vs Sasha Banks match, this one is a bout I'm looking forward to). 

Vanessa Bourne Was Called Up To The Main Roster Back In February!?

 Vanessa Bourne. Former Mae Young Classic competitor as well as a current NXT superstar at least up in till February or January of this year. 

 In other words, she was moved up to WWE's main shows according to Fightful select and Sean Ross Sapp (from their article). Here's more on the story: 

 "Borne has been awaiting her debut, but moved, and hasn't been flown back in regularly since then. Borne's situation was compared to that of Riddick Moss, who had a deal coming up, and then was promoted to the main roster upon resigning."

 "Since all this has unfolded, there have been major shifts in WWE, and we aren't sure of her status as of now or where she was to land." 

 She was supposed to debut on either RAW or Smackdown before the pandemic. That really sucks. 

 I feel like Bourne has the potential to be a great antagonist for an upcoming babyface if the powers that be play their cards right. Here's hoping that she's actually featured on TV. 

MVP On Wanting To Build A Stable.

 Montel Von Porter recently had an interview with the aforementioned TalkSport and during the discussion, he expressed on wanting to build a stable: 

  "Absolutely. It’s something I’ve been discussing and let’s see how things go… let’s just say there’s method to my madness! I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised if I can take this… just watch me work! I’ll leave it at that – watch me work.”
I think it can work. I felt for a very long time that MVP is mad underrated in terms of his mic skills and I'm glad that most fans are recognizing his great work as a mouthpiece. 


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

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
