Who Came Up With The Finish For The IC Title Triple Threat Match?
Talking about this gem of a match for the second time in this series because why not, right?
Remember the brilliant ending where Sami Zayn handcuffed Styles' hand and Jeff Hardy's ear to climb the ladder and grab the title?
Well, the interviewer over at Metro UK asked the interviewee, Sami Zayn about that finish and who came up with that idea:
"I wish I could take all the credit for that, but actually Jamie Noble’s a real genius,’ Sami said. ‘He doesn’t get the credit he deserves."
I don't blame Zayn for positively talking about this match due to the fact that it was simply a fantastic bout.
And, if you want to know more about my thoughts on the match as well as the entire Clash Of Champions 2020 show then click here.
WWE Reportedly Still Planning On Scheduling A Drew McIntyre Vs Tyson Fury Bout.
Speaking of something I've talked about previously.
Last week, Inside The Ropes, published an article about WWE supposed to headline a show in the UK with Drew McIntyre and Tyson Fury main eventing it.
However, that obviously didn't happen because of the pandemic.
In the latest edition of Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from Cagesideseats), the possibility of the Drew McIntyre vs Tyson Fury encounter is there "at a future time".
Like I said on the previous 5 News Week article, WWE having a main roster UK PPV would be cool but it's another example of how the pandemic has made folks change plans.
RAW Underground Done For Now!?
We're rewinding the timeline like Barry Allen back to early September where Fightful select and Sean Ross Sapp reported that the upcoming RAW Underground segments were cut.
At the time Fightful didn't know why that is. Now, fast forward to a few weeks later where Fightful select got their answer.
The reason being is that the company is short of talent because of the Covid outbreak.
The segments weren't filmed and as a result, the segment was "deemed unnecessary".
As of a few days ago, we got an update about the RAW Underground situation from none other than Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc).
In it, Meltzer stated that RAW Underground is "considered done" for now.
It was originally due to the fear of the extras being exposed to the virus because like Fightful select mentioned, they had an outbreak.
But now, that reason isn't the case anymore.
While all the RAW Underground crew is ready to go, WWE isn't going to produce the segments.
The 2020 WWE Draft, in particular, made it harder to fit those segments in.
Just when RAW Underground is slowly growing on me, WWE just stopped doing them.
I do understand the reasons for not continuing. They had to protect their performers.
It's almost a month since RAW Underground last aired and damn, don't we all lose a track of time as of late.
WWE Live Events Not Coming Back Till 2022?
WrestleVotes has heard that the "typical weekly live event" schedule ain't coming back till 2022.
That is interesting because, on the September 13th edition of The 5 News Week, I wrote about an exclusive article from WrestlingInc where WWE is letting go of people from the live events department.
What's odd about all of this is that there are reports going around that WWE is planning to start touring again.
Now, the reports of WWE planning on going back to the road dates back to earlier this summer.
WWE made the right decision to stick with the Thunderdome for at least a month (from PWInsider).
And it should stay that way until the pandemic is behind us to where they can start touring once more.
