Playard Wrestling Post

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 ar e the 5 news week. A Rumoured NXT Money In The Bank Match Happening Or Nah?  Apparently, there was a “match leak graphic” that has been circulating around the interweb where the NXT superstars has a ladder match scheduled for Money In The Bank that includes Jaxson Ryker, Keith Lee, Matt Riddle, Adam Cole, Pete Dunne, Tyler Breeze ( A Raw superstar by the way) and Dominic Djakovic.  Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that quote (quote via Wrestlingnews.co ) “According to those in the know, not only is the poster a fake, but such a match has never been discussed. ”  I actually believe this report considering that WWE likes to pretend that NXT doesn’t exist in certain storylines.  Los Angeles Could Be The Home For Wrestlemania 37?   Speaking...
