The 5 News Week: SummerSlam 2020 Happening Outdoors!?, How Long Is Zack Ryder Aka Matt Cordona Going To Be In AEW?


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.

The Initial Plans Regarding The Aleister Black/ Seth Rollins/ Murphy Storyline.

 Aleister Black's first L taken on Monday Night RAW a few weeks back at the hands of the Monday Night messiah was underwhelming, to say the least. 

 With that being said, there's a reported original plan on Black's role in this storyline. 

 According to Wrestling Observer Radio (From Sescoops), the plan was for Aleister Black to be "taken out" by Seth Rollins and his disciple, Murphy aka an "injury angle". 

 The way Aleister's currently written is honestly concerning. I for some reason, didn't mind him as a "white knight" for Rey Mysterio. 

 But, this past week's episode of RAW was a visual representation that the company doesn't know what they want to do with the striking man from Amsterdam.  

SummerSlam 2020 Happening Outdoors!? 

Fantasy Booking WWE SummerSlam 2015 | PWMania.com


 There are many and I repeat, MANY stories in relation to SummerSlam happening outside of the PC which makes sense considering at the end of WWE's official announcement, they stated, "new location for the event is forthcoming".

 Mikey Johnson said on PWInsider Elite (from Cagesideseats) that WWE is doing the show at "a beach or a boat". 

 Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp added to this story saying that WWE is aiming for SummerSlam outdoors: 

 "WWE could possibly run outdoor locations for Summerslam, according to some of the murmurs within the company. They should. UFC got a lot of buzz for a Fight Island that looked exactly like the rest of their shows. WWE could do something different." 

 Wrestlevotes has some tweets about SummerSlam taking place outdoors. 

 One of which was how the company is looking at a Northeast (it's in the New York/New Jersey/ Massachusetts/ Connecticut area for all you slow mofos) 
outdoor location with limited fans. 

 I get it that they want to make this year's show unique among the rest of the PC shows but I feel like it would've saved them a lot of headaches had they just hosted the show at the performance centre. 

How Long Is Zack Ryder Aka Matt Cordona Going To Be In AEW? 


 "Woo, woo, woo, AEW knows it" (boy, that was awful). The innovator of the Ruff Ryder is now All Elite. 

 The question is, how long is the long Island native going to be on Wednesday or Tuesday nights? 

 Wrestling Inc and Raj Giri reported that Cordona is with the company for a "five appearance deal with the company." 

 So, basically, Matt's working in a short term deal which I'm honestly fine with. He fits in the indie scene if I'm being frank.  

Top WWE Officials "Chewing Vince's Ears" On Tessa Blanchard!?

On Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions podcast, a little birdie told Tom Colohue that people within WWE were and I quote, "chewing Vince McMahon's ear off" (metaphorically speaking of course) about signing Tessa Blanchard to World Wrestling Entertainment. 

 *John Oliver voice* Cool. 

Big E On Spreading Awareness of Systematic Racism. 

Plans for Big E. Langston Babyface Turn Revealed | Bleacher Report ...

 Now, this is a great interview. Speaking with Yahoo, Big E shared his story on spreading awareness of systematic racism and social justice in WWE programming: 

 "We went and had a conversation with our boss, Vince McMahon, and he was completely on board. We felt like that even if it was just a five-second gesture, it was important to let people know that the things that affected them, we were feeling too. We’re not above this because we’re on TV or because we make money, we’re still people. I was born Black, I will die Black, I have lived my life as Black American much longer than I will ever be a WWE wrestler.”

 Go and read the rest of the interview because it's simply fantastic. This quote from Big E doesn't do the interview justice. Please check it out. 
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

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...
