Well damn.

 

[T_Cage]

Well damn.

Wwe is "awaiting information"

Anyone else gets arrested, pull them off TV right away... One of Romans family? Nah, we'll let it slide under the rug

Did someone in the Anao'i family save Vince's life or kill a man for him or something, and now he's in their debt?

This is what will sadly happen to the Uso's who have been carrying the tag division for a while now. Real shame. Guess their dropping the belts on the Rumble pre-show

“It’s starting to take hold. I think the hardcore fans have to remember that patience is paramount. There’s such a huge percentage of the WWE Universe and the WWE fanbase who aren’t familiar with the story of the Woken-slash-Broken character so we have to educate them and get them up to speed and help them understand what’s going on. And that’s something the die hard fans are frustrated with. But things are going to get where they need to be and this is a process now that’s playing out over TV. The biggest thing I’d say to people is just sit back and enjoy this truly, truly fun and jubilant ride”

Dave Meltzer has confirmed that WWE really wants to bring in EC3 and Lashley. He mentioned Lashley left the WWE on great terms and Vince was, and still is super high on him.

As far as possible Rumble debuts, it’s said that Lashley is unable to sign with another company until February 1st, however EC3 is free and clear to sign anywhere immediatly.

In other news, WWE has officially signed Riccochet, and is expected to announce the signings of Candice LeRae, and the tag team of War Machine

Lashley and Lesnar makes sense to me. Lashley can be big for them if booked correctly and he could use a good mouthpiece like Heyman....

Oh boy...

[dahrougem2]

Not that I'd wish failure upon anyone because this is his livelihood, but if this is what it takes for Roman's push to be brought back down to earth and hopefully halted, so be it.

I don't think it will, though.

 

[SeidoN]

some dude in jail named Roman. lol. literally nothing will come of this

 

[Kimi]

Nothing will happen unless WWE get big outside bad press about it, or he fails one of their own tests.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Generally, stuff does come from this even if it actually ends up being a nothing. Even if it's just a temporary drop of the title, something will happen to punish Reigns. It's going to depend on how bad this really is but it's unlikely that nothing will happen here.

 

[Shoalzie]

Saw someone bring it up to Meltzer on Twitter...he seems to think it's nothing to be concerned about.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Roman's "punishment" will be dropping the title to Miz next week.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I think they planned to give Miz the title back anyway.

I am almost finished with "Crazy Like a Fox" by Liam O'Rourke on Brian Pillman. You all MUST get your hands on this book. People were raving about it and not only did it meet those expectations it exceeded them greatly. Just one of the most fascinating stories in the history of wrestling.
