This reads like, "I know I wont pass a piss test so I wont show up and can't get my third violation."

Is he really smart enough to put something like that together?


Wasn't he fired by UFC because he couldn't pass a drug test or failed a bunch of them or something? Not sure if the new parent company will have any input on personell in WWE but it would seem that he didn't have the best relationship with those guys

Put something like what together? That's not all that complex at all. "If I go to work they're going to piss test me. I just wont go."

I think he made some bull shit up about being sexually assaulted to try to discredit them before WWE found out he was shitfaced, and now he's no showing with an excuse until whatever was in his system is obviously clear. I think he's operating under the assumption that they wont/can't fire him if he doesn't actually test positive and hit his third violation... When the reality is they can release talent basically just because they feel like it.

My guess is he knows he's stepped in shit and is trying any route he can take to get out of it. They sound illogical, but an addict's behavior typically isn't logical.

Yeah, is he smart enough to think that he might fail a test so he should skip work

He has failed a few tests with WWE and previously with UFC, so he hasn't shown in the past that he is smart enough to avoid them

Testing is usually random in the sense that you don't know when they're going to test you. And this would be his third violation.

It's pretty obvious considering the circumstances and what the Port Authority claims that he would obviously be subjected to a test as soon as he shows up. Not really the same as, "Ehh they test me once every six months, today could be the day". He has to know that he's getting pulled aside and tested as soon as he arrives.

Aftermath of the WWE-UFC Merger Leaves Dwayne Johnson's Daughter Heartbroken

Despite the epic return of Dwayne Johnson, the brutal aftermath of WWE's merger with the UFC leaves his daughter shattered.
www.essentiallysports.com

According to multiple reports, WWE has released the Grizzled Young Veterans from the organization. For those unversed, the team comprised James Drake and Zack Gibson. In WWE, however, they performed under the name The Dyad with individual names as Jagger Reid and Rip Fowler, respectively.

These two gentlemen, along with Joe Gacy and Ava, initially consisted of the group called Schism on NXT. They reportedly let their contracts expire and eventually, WWE released them on the 14th of September. The release left a dejected Ava to take to her social media to acknowledge their exit with just one powerful emoji.

A reminder that Dave has been dealing with deranged morons for years.
 
If WWE released Ava, that should put to bed the theories that Nia was only brought back to get Dwayne back. You don't release the guy's daughter when bringing him back lol.

Very interesting timing, though. Wonder if this affect's Dwayne's relationship with WWE.

Did people actually read the story? It clearly said they released the two guys from the faction, not Joe Gacy or Ava herself. Basically their faction went from 4 members to two. Ava's "heartbroken" because of that.

That's pretty cold honestly. Really rooting for her now to become a star in AEW or TNA.

She wasn't released, the two guys formerly known as Grizzled Young Veterans were.

GYV were already leaving. They had asked to be released and weren’t. Maybe they changed their minds but they were supposed to finish.

The aggregate sites are pure clickbait. No one is clicking if it's immediately clear that just GYV were released, but if it sounds like the Rock's daughter might have been released then you are getting extra clicks.

It's why you see a lot of these shitty sites hiding who they are talking about despite Dave or SRS openly giving that info.
