All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[GKJ]

Fox CEO talked about why they didn't renew Smackdown.

Pretty much blamed it on not getting enough ad dollars because wrestling fans don't buy anything.

To me would signal they aren't interested in more wrestling outside of getting rights at bargain

Also mentioned WWE wasn't happy with the money they were getting on replays either so possibly both sides were happy to move on

WWE got a lot more out of that deal than Fox did, it was obvious from almost the first week.

Probably messed up paperwork on purpose to get out of the Saudi show

Amazon Canada's new ad campain:

I would enter if Lilly Singh wasn't involved.

 

[Sheppy]

I would enter if Lilly Singh wasn't involved.

What’s up with her? She seems annoying, lol.

 

[Jussi]

So that rules him out of Money In The Bank.

 

[Megahab]

What’s up with her? She seems annoying, lol.

You just answered your own question lol. One of the most annoying celebrities out there. I can't stand her.

[Jussi]

I read she's looking to work in NA either way, if not WWE. But there was a story earlier that they're trying to get someone else too, who was spotted at the PC.

 

[GKJ]

Can’t imagine why Sarray would want to come back unless Hunter is trying to put together a joshi stable

It is being reported he is trying to start a joshi stable

What I posted in the other thread: WWE: - Premium Live Events (not the big 4 shows)

As I said, I don't know if Iwatani is under contract with any promotion right now, so I don't know if she is the unannounced "friend" but she does have the connection to Iyo and Kairi.

She is current IWGP Champion

Any info on how long she's contractually tied to the Japanese promotion?

 

[GKJ]

Not sure but she ain’t leaving without doing good business.

She’s also only defended the title once since winning it.

Or that he doesn't have a Green Card.

Not everything is conspiratorial.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Or that he doesn't have a Green Card.

Not everything is conspiratorial.

Not everything is a serious comment either

 

[Emperoreddy]

BWE says the WWE locker room believes Punk is returning and he had a call with some WWE folks.

SRS says WWE is fully denying this and he continues to double down that Punk isn't coming.

Dave's in full "well maybe he comes back, or maybe he goes back to AEW, or maybe he goes to TNA. Plans change"

And Punk continues to troll on his social media.

So who the f*** knows, but Survivor Series is going to be hilarious on social media no matter what happens.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I feel like can confidently say he isn't going back to AEW lol that bridge is far to freshly burnt to be rebuilt this fast. His ego probably wouldn't allow him to go to TNA. Probably WWE or nowhere and my money is on nowhere for now.

 

[TD Charlie]

Not that I think anybody deserves it, but Punk back in WWE makes a lot of sense. I highly doubt Punk would go to TNA so we can rule that out. I don’t think AEW would be willing to try it again so rule that out. It leaves the E. There’s no arguing that Punk was a pretty solid draw in his recent run, and what better way to stick it to AEW than to hire their guy and make it work better?

That being said, just from an outsiders perspective I don’t think anybody deserves the satisfaction

 

[GKJ]

Sarray not coming back to WWE

 

[Jussi]

Sarray not coming back to WWE

So that was the other option I mentioned.
