The 5 News Week: Retribution No More!?

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.

Retribution No More!? 


If you've watched this week's Monday Night RAW (I don't blame you if you don't watch the show AT ALL), then you'll notice that the leader of Retribution, Mustafa Ali isn't too happy with the group's recent outcomes of their matches.

This led to an increase of talks particularly from Cagesideseats as to whether the stable are no more. 

Here's what the site had to say about it: 

"The early speculation after Raw is that RETRIBUTION may indeed be heading for a split sooner rather than later"

It's an obvious conclusion and to be honest, I'm all for it. It's about time that Mustafa Ali, Mia Yim, Dominic Djakovic are to quote Jason Derulo, "ridin solo". 

However, take this speculation with a grain of salt. 

The Young Bucks' Dad Wanted To Cut Himself For An Angle!?


Obviously, the Jackson brothers and Inner Circle's Chris Jericho and MJF are currently feuding for the AEW world tag team championship that will culminate at Revolution next Sunday. 

During the rivalry, Young Bucks saw their father beat up thanks to Chris Jericho and MJF. 

And, their father wanted to go the extreme route by trying to "legitimately cut himself open for this week’s angle" but fake blood was utilized. At least that's what Bryan Alvarez said on Wrestling Observer Live aka the most positive person in wrestling media. 

Shout out to the pops for the dedication. 

Lana On WWE Not Wanting Her To Wrestle Before Her Wrestling Debut. 


The woman that like Kofi Kingston, mysteriously lost the accent, was interviewed by The Independent. 

During the discussion, Lana talked about her debut match at Wrestlemania 32's pre-show and before that, she wasn't allowed to be inside the squared-circle as a competitor: 

“I have been trying to get this opportunity way before [it happened]. I was training at live events or maybe working at live events but not being able to get that spot on television. 

Now I’ve been given that opportunity and [I’m] trying to make the most of it and trying to run with it. I believe that luck is when opportunity meets those that are prepared. So I was constantly coming in early, training at live events and not seeing television, hoping that one day, I would get that opportunity and that, when I do, I’m as prepared as I can be. 

The cool thing for me is that I can take the WWE Universe with me on my journey… it’s really wild, my very first match in my entire life happened at WrestleMania, it happened in front of you. 

WWE wouldn’t allow me to have a match before WrestleMania, so [it was] in front of 101,000 people. Early on I had to accept that I was going to fail in front of you guys, and that I was going to have to fail in front of you many times. 

That was really hard for me because I don’t like failing, I want to be good. As an in-ring competitor I had to accept that I’m going to learn as I go, that I’m going to fail and that’s going to be part of my journey. 

I hope to encourage people that it’s okay to fail as long as we learn and don’t make that mistake twice. [I] really had to change my mindset to go on this journey and I just hope to encourage others to chase their dreams – and to know that when you fail, you’re not alone.”

Anybody at least most of us, can relate to Lana’s struggles and her chase to the top. The foundation was right there! Looking back at her arc later last year though, It actually could’ve been a LOT better than what was executed. 

Damian Priest Is Reportedly "Going To Be Protected Probably After Wrestlemania". 


Damian Priest must be really happy being showcased alongside the most over figure in WWE according to WWE Shop, Bad Bunny. 

From Dave Meltzer and Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE officials “like” the guy and he’s “gonna be protected for sure until WrestleMania and probably after.”

He did mention that Vinne Mac could change his mind but as of this moment, Priest is in a “good spot” (thanks to Cagesideseats for the quotes). 

John Morrison Dealing With An Injury? 

This is a piece of unfortunate news. The aforementioned Dave Meltzer stated this time on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (from WrestlingInc) that Johnny Mundo is dealing with a knee injury coming out of this past week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. 

Morrison tweeted out how the way he landed didn’t go as “pictured”. 

I’m hoping It’s not serious and I wish him the speediest of recoveries. 

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

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
