The 5 News Week: MVP Injured!?

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.

Quick Elimination Chamber 2021 Predictions. 


Since this week's news is slower than that sloth in Zootopia, I wanted to showcase my quick predictions for 2021's Elimination Chamber PPV. 

By the way, my predictions are highlighted in bold letters: 

Bobby Lashley vs Keith Lee vs Riddle For The United States Championship (Update: Keith is apparently not on the PPV but my prediction is still the same). 

Nia Jax And Shayna Baszler vs Sasha Banks And Bianca Belair For The Women's Tag Team Championship  (yes, they're going to pull off the John Cena and Shawn Michaels bit of winning the tag team championship during a championship built for Wrestlemania). 

Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus vs AJ Styles vs Kofi Kingston vs Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton In An Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE Championship. 

Kevin Owens (yea, unfortunately) vs Jey Uso vs Sami Zayn vs King Corbin vs Daniel Bryan vs Cesaro. An Elimination Chamber Match With The Winner Facing Roman Reigns Later In The Night.  

Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens For The Universal Championship.

MVP Injured!? 


Montell Van Porter suffered a leg injury on this past week's edition of Monday Night RAW at least if you believe PWInsider and Mikey Johnson report about it.  

And yes, the report did mention that MVP was walking with crutches on RAW Talk which was true. 

Wishing MVP nothing but the speediest of recovery.

How Did WWE Knew Of Lacey Evans' Pregnancy!? 


When Lacey Evans announced on RAW that she was pregnant, a lot of people's reaction understandably so, were "EWWWWH!". 

Thankfully, it isn't what we think it is and Evans is legitimately pregnant  (congratulations to her). 

Now, how did the folks over at world wrestling entertainment find out about Evans' pregnancy? 

According to Wrestling Inc, they found out about her pregnancy on the day of Monday Night RAW and rewrote the script as a result.

There Are No Plans For Bo Dallas!? WOAWWWWW! 

So surprised am I right? Davey boy Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio quote (from Cagesideseats):

“He’s still got a job. No idea what or why or anything. It’s a big mystery.”

By the way, Fightful select (from WrestleTalk) mentioned that Bo Dallas was attending Smackdown for a couple of weeks straight and the performers were happy to see him. 

I'm hoping that once Bo Dallas comes back, he turns heel and lives up to his potential but a man can only dream. 

What's Going On With The WWE Championship Situation For Wrestlemania 37? 

WrestleVotes will tell ya what's going on. 

Some of the matches on the Wrestlemania card like Edge vs Roman Reigns, Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt, Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair, Bad Bunny on a tag match are "on the books" during a creative meeting. 

While the WWE championship and other matches are open. However, the source told WrestleVotes that "nothing is set in stone". 

Based on what I've seen on Monday Nights, it looks like either Drew is facing Sheamus or Bobby Lashley based on the way the CEO of the Hurt Business has been written for months. 

I do not hate either decision but who knows? 

Monday Night RAW will somehow mess those matches up to the point where I wouldn't look forward to either possible match. 


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

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...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...

WWE Super Show Down | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for WWE Super Showdown and overall, WWE Super Showdown was an entertaining four hours of pro wrestling and here's why.  The New Day (c) vs The Bar for the SmackDown Live tag team championship  I do like the fact that this match opened the show but was it any good? Not really and the way it ended was weird? The match ends with Woods hitting the backstabber followed by a chest double stomp by Kofi to Cesaro and just like that, the new day wins. Decent match but not as great as the other matches they had on SmackDown Live.  Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live women's championship  Big "Let's go Becky Lynch" chants. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Anyways, the match was pretty good. Becky Lynch retains via a DQ by Becky Lynch. I'm going to assume that the rubber match will be a no DQ stipulation match of some sort at ev...
