This Cornette rant makes no sense. The barrier for Intergender wrestling has been broken for years. Hell, WWE just had one a couple of weeks ago with Lashley/Lana vs Rusev/Liv.

Joe got a concussion on Raw and might be out again.  There goes another one.

Quote
During the Royal Rumble PPV on Sunday night (Jan. 26), Pro Wrestling Sheet reported there had been “tense encounter” backstage between Brock Lesnar and Matt Riddle. Nothing physical, but after years of Riddle tweeting about how he was going to retire Brock, Lesnar apparently decided to take the opportunity to give The Original Bro a piece of his mind.

We’ve got a couple new reports on the incident, and it seems more like a one-way communication than the “verbal altercation” Sheet described. “Tense” sounds like the right word, though.

According to sources of TalkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy, Lesnar approached Riddle and grabbed his shoulder to get his attention. The former UFC Heavyweight champ then told the former UFC welterweight:

Quote
“Kid, you might as well stop saying my name and tagging me in shit because you and I will never work together. Ever.”

Riddle - no stranger to awkward backstage moments with legends of the business - is said to have tried to respond, but Brock kept moving and didn’t give him a chance to. Fightful says a source described the scene by saying Lesnar’s the “wrong one to f*** with and that Matt “was spoken to by Brock and he understood.”

All the sites confirmed the incident didn’t involve any physical violence.

Riddle, who was tweeting about retiring Brock as recently as Saturday night, was eliminated in just 41 seconds during the Rumble match. This morning, he tweeted this:
https://twitter.com/SuperKingofBros/status/1222180207622336513

:brock

Look at that ratings decline:
Quote
WWE has always been able to count on drawing ratings for certain shows, like for episodes of Monday Night Raw coming just one evening after a pay-per-view. This has been true even in the WWE Network era.

But that’s slowly changing.

Look at this trend (as pointed out by the Wrestling Observer) over the past few years in regards to viewership for the post-Royal Rumble episode of Monday Night Raw:

2016: 4.10 million
2017: 3.62 million
2018: 3.40 million
2019: 2.71 million
2020: 2.40 million

WWE promoted Charlotte Flair and Drew McIntyre making their decision on who they would challenge for a title at WrestleMania 36 (even if they didn’t follow through on that, in Flair’s case), and it didn’t make much difference at all. They also promoted Edge returning to the show to make clear he’s back and will be wrestling some more. That didn’t make much difference at all.

It's bizarre to me how much John Cena apparently mattered to this company and I guess millions of people each week. Good jorb making "the company" the focus of the show and not getting anyone else that over ever again, Vince.

well that is the tough part. i know he was a huge face in TNA as the "fuck SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT i'm bringing back PRO WRESTLING" guy and supposedly vince has been in love with him for years so i could see him getting the roman treatment for better or worse

also at this point they've finally succeeded at making brock so hateable that anyone who beats him will get a grace period of love.

As far as I know there's a Takeover scheduled for April 4th in Tampa. Mania is already 37 hours long, no need to add 5 30 minute matches to it, despite the fact that they'd all likely be higher in quality than probably everything on the Mania card.

Yeah it seems a bit strange. The only UK person in the Rumble they had was Toni Storm. I remember HHH saying they weren't going to always stick to tying NXT events to big four WWE events so maybe this and Takeover 25 are just test runs to see the reception/ticket sales. Portland seems like an odd choice for a WWE show, don't think they've done any big PPVs there before.

Making money in the bank it’s own ppv killed Mania time wise, it was the best way to get 6-8 top or near top guys on the show without having to put them all in a program and saved a good hour of show time at least by having them in all together.

I hate the two months or so in-between the Rumble and Mania.  Would much rather have the Rumble take place the month before Mania, then have a shitload of hype and buildup leading up to Mania following that.

Then why the hell are they doing one in February? Why didn't they do a normal takeover with the Rumble instead of Worlds Collide, especially as they didn't do anything with the UK talent in either Rumble anyway? Now they're going to have a stopgap show that will surely be quality but then will make the WM show a rehash or have a show with a month and a half of new storylines when this upcoming show has stuff going back to October.

The rumors going around (lol Meltzer lol) say that they want to see how a Takeover uncoupled from a WWE ppv that takes place on a Sunday does, ticket sales wise and also views wise on ye olde network. If you'll remember, last year Takeover XXV was on its own weekend too, but on a Saturday. They had 5 total takeovers last year (Phoenix, New York, XXV, Toronto, and WAH GAMES) so this would probably put them in line for the same this year, too, if they do one either on Money in the Bank weekend or around then.

STAMFORD, Conn., January 30, 2020 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced that Co-Presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson will depart the company, effective immediately, and will no longer serve on its Board of Directors.

Frank A. Riddick III, who has served as a member of WWE’s Board of Directors for more than 11 years, has been named interim Chief Financial Officer, reporting to WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon. WWE has commenced a search for both a permanent Chief Financial Officer and Chief Revenue Officer.

WWE remains well positioned to continue its growth and operate effectively against its strategic priorities, including content creation and distribution, digitization, and localization in key markets around the world. The Company expects its full year 2019 Adjusted OIBDA to be approximately $180 million.

“I would like to thank George and Michelle for their 10+ years of service and contributions to the organization,” said McMahon. “I am grateful for all that was accomplished during their tenure, but the Board and I decided a change was necessary as we have different views on how best to achieve our strategic priorities moving forward.
