Bryan and Dave were speculating that Braun will appear at TLC to squash Corbin and put an end to his nightmare GM run.

They also speculated that Bliss’ new authority role could expand into full GM

Bliss has been working at the preformance center so I don’t think she’ll be in a management position for long. Seems like she’s nearly cleared.

I know HHH won’t want to, but I’d like him to have a chance. Without Stephanie and like any sort of henchmen. Just business Haitch.

Raw sucks because they literally buried everyone to build Roman. This is what happens when you don't build everyone up and only focus on one guy. Now everyone is **** and match that with bad writers and this is what you get. There was no reason why we couldn't build multiple stars/storylines all at once. But nope. It was the Roman show and they get what they get.

Agreed I just see a bunch of JAGS. They had a chance to make Rollins after his knee injury and sabotaged him to protect Roman.

Nobody matters. It's just a bunch of good wrestlers playing actors. Nobody is real. All the heels have the same mannerisms, nobody cuts a promo like a real person. It's all fake rehearsed trash

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Two more things.

Braun was ruined at WM. Nobody wanted to see him be a gentle giant who likes kids.

Samoa Joe was on fire when he came back but he never wins the big match so nobody buys in now.

Vince would have to be dead for that to happen.

Not sure if he or they would ever be interested, but I'd like to see William Regal get a chance. He holds important roles in scouting and development though.

Why would Vince not like HHH being the GM/running things as COO on TV?

I’d love to see Bischoff come back.

Because he'd make Hunter be a heel because HEAT

- Observer reported that Aleister Black is expected to be called up soon, possibly immediately after TakeOver Phoenix, perhaps as an entrant in the Rumble.

 

[Paris in Flames]

He's clearly ready and I think with booking he could be a big player for him.

Buuuuuuuuut I don't have high hopes and am sad at this development.

Regal has said in the past that he doesn't want to do the travelling that would be involved in working on the main roster.

As long as it's Papa HHH that wants to promote his NXT "kids" from time to time. "Alicia Fox, it's time you prove your worthy of being on RAw by having a match with... Biance Belair." That 450 Splash would put her over quickly.

JBL has it out for Cody Rhodes

 

[Paris in Flames]

He's already apologized and said it was a mix of drinking and just joking around with a family friend.

He's still quite a tool.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

JBL has always been and always will be a piece of shit. f*** that guy.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Some guy responded with JBL's accidental porn screenshot.

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

JBL is up there with Hogan and XPac as guys more vile in real life than in an any kind of heel role. Just absolute human waste.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Uncle Dave Meltzer’s run in on that battle was pretty epic but I can’t repost it here.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Aleister Black and Zelina Vega got married.

ok

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Aleister Black and Zelina Vega got married.

ok

By Satan?

 

[GarbageGoal]

But poor Buddy Murphy can't get married and get his papers still.

 

[GKJ]

Aleister Black and Zelina Vega got married.

ok

What? When was this?

WWE are switching dates for the 'Mania weekend Takeover. It's going to be on the Friday night, with the Hall of Fame now being on Saturday.

Is this in relation to any of the shows being booked that weekend? Like the MSG one?

The MSG show is on the Saturday, so they might be trying to avoid that clash? (Or make use of it's existence?)

NXT doesn't sell out, and I'd expect an RoH/NJPW fan to be more interested in NXT than anything else on that night. So they'd probably be able to sell a bunch of extra tickets by being on a different day. And it's not like it matter much for WWE, they've got the arena book all weekend anyway and everyone is going to be there for the duration too.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

No doubt. ROH/NJPW sold out on Saturday night and was meant to go head to head with NXT, until WWE made the change.

Good move by WWE.
