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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
