Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.
The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!?
Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad.
Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old.
From Fightful Selectrinos, the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused.
Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!?
My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess).
And kinda bad news I guess for the talented performer and a certified face of humanity because according to said Al Fightful Bin Select, Mustafa Ali has "well over a year into his contract, at least".
Bianca Carelli SIGNED with WWE!?
Representation is important in any industry, especially in professional wrestling.
So, it's great to see more POCs in the business, specifically, Italians.
From the man that once rap battled against Akon, Santino Marella, confirmed in an interview with JBL and Gerald Brisco's Stories With Bradshaw and Brisco that his daughter, Bianca Carelli has signed with world wrestling entertainment and will be at the performance center in 2 weeks.
Side note but JBL has a podcast now? What are the podcast topics include? Why bullying should be legal?
Mauro Ranallo Has A NEW SERIES COMING!?
We all can agree that Twitter is legitimately, a blue hell something that The Rock has warned us about for many years based on the number of times he's used the damn word.
One of the best things (wink, wink) about that darn website was Mauro Ranallo and his interactions with the fanbase.
And now, he's hosting a reality-based show coming out on March 16th called "Beyond The Edge" being aired on CBS and Paramount Plus, you know, the thing Star Trek Picard is in.
It's basically Survivor but celebrities (that is such a mid-2000s idea for a reality show, it's actually funny).
When is Rey Mysterio RETIRING?
Let's hear it from the man himself (from WrestlingInc):
"I think I’ll step back once I feel like my son is ready just to take off on his own,” “That would be really helpful for him. I’m hoping that it happens within this year. For him to branch out and take care of things on his own. I’ve had the opportunity to be on the same house shows as him, with me wrestling in a completely separate match and him wrestling by himself."
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy? Anyways, stay safe smarks.
