A Few News I Guess: Roman Reigns Upcoming Challengers REVEALED!?

Since this past week's news was as slow as GTA 5's load time on the Xbox 360 I decided to showcase a few news, I guess? 

Solo Sikoa Possibly Joining The Bloodline!? 

Apologies for that clickbait headline but I had to do what I had to do, ya know? 

Why? You'll see in a bit. In an interview with Corey Graves' After The Bullsh…….. I mean After The Bell, The Usos talked about their brother possibly joining The Bloodline (from Wrestling Inc):

"Always trying to evolve,” “You’re going to get left behind or you’re going to stay in the mix. And when you get here, you either sink or swim. That’s as simple as it can get, it doesn’t matter if you’re running things down there or whatever. 

When you get up here, we’re going to find out what you’re really made of. 

You’re either going to crack or deliver as we do, and the sucky part about this, little brother, it’s going to be hard. We’re all big timing and then you’ve got little bro and he’s next in line. 

It’s going to be hard for him, but stick to the script and we always got his back. We love him, he’s doing great down there. I can’t wait until we expand this Bloodline, and trust me Uce, we expanding deep.”

NXT Producer On Going To Film A Side Project For Late Dusty Rhodes. 

NXT producer, Ryan Katz revealed during a discussion with Stu's Wrestling Podcast that he and the late Dusty Rhodes were going to launch a production company and create short films (from Post Wrestling): 

"And that ‘Hippie Dog’ thing was just something he [Dusty Rhodes] always wanted to do which was just going to be our little side film production company where we went and made some side little short films under the banner of ‘Hippie Dog Productions’ and unfortunately, that’s something that never got a chance to come to fruition but the memory lives on and his legacy will live on forever and that guy is one of the most phenomenal people ever."

Hey, look. That could've been so interesting especially since Dusty is pretty creative. 

Roman Reigns' Upcoming Challengers REVEALED!? 

Who were Reigns' upcoming challengers? To put it briefly, Davey Boy Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the challengers for the tribal chief were Randy Orton, Riddle and Drew McIntyre at Summerslam, Money In The Bank and Clash Of The Castle. 

Those plans aren't currently set in motion but there are plenty of discussions about these performers facing the leader of the Bloodline. 

If the 6 man tag team match at Wrestlemania Backlash has taught me anything, it is that those challengers would've made sense as singles opponents. 

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: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
