While that looks , he's obviously making that reaction to Byron speaking.

Yeah, and while he has said some weird shit in response to this already, he also stans hard for Mandy Rose- does that means he's fucking her, too?

It's supposed to be momentous you're handing out another title.

Rumor is it's AJ vs Orton for Mania... zzzzzzzzz

I would like to see Bryan feud with the New Day for a couple months, hell bring back Harper and rebrand him and Rowan as "the Bio Brothers" and you can even have a stable vs stable feud and do all sorts of permutations of 1 on 1, tag, 6 man tag, etc matches with all the principles since that's all WWE knows how to do to book feuds anyway. Having a bunch of fun loving, merch hawking, junk food eating dudes feud with annoying Capt Planet and his brute squad would be fun.

In my dreams I hope that Corbin, McIntyre, and Lashley will all just sort of go away but I guess they'll probably beat the shit out of some combination of Finn, Angle, and Strowman because that's been happening for months and despite all the BOLD NEW DIRECTION we were promised we keep getting served the same boring ass subway sammich of these dudes.

I'm more interested in what NXT will be doing

I understand why they couldn't really focus on Asuka the past couple weeks- you had to promote the Women's Tag Title match and most of your SD roster was on that.

...of course your other two main event level women on SD are currently stuck in a feud for the Raw Women's title, so, you know, GOOD JORB planning that one, geniuses.

bork · « **Reply #5780 on:** February 18, 2019, 04:50:08 PM »

I like that even at house shows, when it was Asuka versus Charlotte, what got all the attention was Becky running in and interfering.

Do they not even realize that they're just fucking up the SD women's division? The tag champs can be on both shows (and are currently Raw women anyway) and assuming Becky wins, doesn't that mean she jumps to Raw afterwards? There's zero focus on SD.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5781 on:** February 18, 2019, 05:07:52 PM »

I'd say that the SD men's title has been booked well, but really that's just the DB shine rubbing off on it. Anything that dude has done after turning heel has worked, and he's generating massive heat for faces booked against him. Shit, look at Kofi- a week ago he wasn't doing anything and now people are screaming for him to get a title shot (and win) at mania.

Corey's responses to her make a lot more sense now.

Quote

Last week, Corey Graves' wife - Amy Polinsky - took to social media to reveal and imply that she caught her husband cheating on her with WWE's Carmella, however, a report by Pro Wrestling Sheet paints a different picture - Corey and Amy are separated and have been in divorce proceedings for the last six months and Corey has actually been living in a different house for two of those months. It is being said that their divorce is very close to being finalized.

The report adds that over the weekend, Corey informed his ex-wife that he is now seeing someone else - Carmella - and that the relationship began after he separated and moved out of the house and she did not react well to that news, blasting him on social media. Amy removed the original post, but continued to post throughout the day, making indirect references to the situation, before her Instagram account was taken offline.

HHH just came out to say that Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, and Tommaso Ciampa will be on Raw tonight. Doesn't appear to be a call-up though.

And how to kill that excitement? Announce a Baron Corbin match right after!

Haha, DIY vs the Bar tonight, Aleister vs Almas, and Ricochet vs... Eric Young.

-Has anyone explained what the deal with the NXT guys being there was? HHH sending a message to the guys in the back or something?
-Looked like Black was staring a hole into Andrade during his entrance and thinking "that's my wife, asshole."
-Ricochet vs. Eric Young was...uh...? "Hey, Sanity still exists! Remember?"
-DIY played faces both nights. Are they going back to NXT as heels again?
-It's cool to see Kofi getting a title shot at Bryan, but I can't help but think this would be better saved for 'Mania. Unless they're going to go for round three there, where the hell does this leave the SD title after Fastlane?

Dirt sheets are saying Lacey was supposed to be fast-tracked to feud with Asuka for her title, but they scrapped plans for now. Assuming that her coming out and going back is all a "mind game" and she'll randomly attack whoever at some point. It's just really stupid. But they definitely need to push another blonde heel because they don't have enough of them.

Also stupid is Asuka getting momentum back, pinning Becky for the title, aaaaaaand- nothing. Basically disappeared over the last month, then came back to TV to job to MANDY ROSE. Brilliant.

Quote

It was reported on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Triple H was unaware of the recent NXT call-ups and there was a communication gap. Aleister Black was the only one of the four who was really on the radar as someone who would be called up.

-- To complicate matters, all four guys have been announced for NXT TakeOver for WrestleMania weekend, so it's unclear how things will maneuvered over the next few weeks. It was also noted that most of the changes recently have been a reaction by Vince McMahon to low ratings, the AEW stuff as well as the surprise announcement of the Undertaker taking independent bookings. As a result, he just wanted the "top four" NXT guys but it's unclear whether he actually picked them himself or was just told that these are the best four.

I thought they weren't being called up yet?

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5798 on:** February 20, 2019, 12:21:41 PM »

It's pretty obvious that the WWE (I'm guessing mostly Vince but who the fuck knows) is in "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" mode, which I'm sure won't fuck these NXT call ups or anything

Tye Dillinger, TJP, and Hideo Itami all released today. Kind of a bummer but other than TJP none of those dudes really had a chance to become much anyway. Well maybe Hideo but then he got injured and became redundant once they got Nakamura.

nachobro · « **Reply #5802 on:** February 22, 2019, 05:01:45 PM »

I feel like Tye is a perfect fit for Impact and I don't even mean it as an insult. But he's a name, smarks love him, and he's Canadian so it feels like Impact could make him a big enough deal to suit their purposes.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #5803 on:** February 22, 2019, 06:49:49 PM »

I mean, AEW is gonna need jobbers and mid card guys too. That's probably Tye's ceiling so, you know, hopefully he can do that somewhere else and be on tv more if that's what he wants.

More Dubya-Dubya-E news:

-Bruce Prichard has been re-hired and will be starting today in a "major top creative role."

-Dave Schilling, who has previously written for Bleacher Report, The Guardian, Grantland and VICE, revealed on Twitter that he has been hired by WWE as a creative writer and will start with the company next month.

-Arn Anderson was fired as a backstage agent.

-Noam Dar got moved to NXT UK and then (re?) injured himself with a serious knee injury.
-Mark Andrews, his opponent, also got hurt with a concussion. WTF

-Drew McIntyre is out with a knee injury. Might be minor.

-Roman Reigns will be at Raw tonight to make a "major announcement." Looks like he's back:

Quote

Personal trainer David Goyea in Hawaii posted on his Instagram that he was honored to have WWE superstar Roman Reigns train at his gym, while also noting that Reigns was preparing for an "in-ring return."

"Had the absolute honor and privilege of having @romanreigns train at @_islandclubandspa during his stay in Waikiki! It was very humbling for an athlete of his caliber to not only train here but also speak so very highly of our facility. Glad we provided a great space to help him prepare for his in ring return!

Also if the angle is really Batista is mad HHH didn't respond to his tweets about wanting to have another match, so he attacked his idol and mentor on his birthday so he could get HHH's attention because HHH only likes indie guys now.

I bet it's something dumb like "Flair didn't invite me to his birthday party"
