If he’s going against Bryan I think he’d be a face.

Not against Bryan winning the chamber and celebrating and then the lights go out and Wyatt appears to confront him and Rowan.

This is how I imagined it too if that's the route they're going.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Of course, they should still absolutely make Wyatt earn it and include him in a tournament that culminates at Fastlane to determine Bryan’s challenger.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I'm surprised Bray had time to even take a picture with the belt.

Don’t tease me

 

[Disclose]

you really want Ambrose in Impact?
from the Shield to OVE? oh hell no.

 

[Dr Pepper]

"What's John Motley doing in the Impact Zone?!"

 

[Disclose]

what is Jean Ambroxley doing in the impact zone?

I want Ambrose to just jump around everyone and go wherever he pleases tbh lol

 

[Disclose]

i feel like it does fit his style more.
but reputation wise, i rather go to AEW instead of "TNA"... of course thats just me. but doing as he pleases is exactly what he wants.

 

[GKJ]

It would be really stupid for anybody to go to Impact right now.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Talent in WWE were shocked when they heard the value of Chris Jericho's AEW contract.

Half baked idea:

Harper joins Bryan, creates the Bryan family, they keep screwing Bray, who then eventually converts into a vegan environmentalist with sandles made from hemp

 

[M.C.G. 31]

lmao, I'd rather a simple story of Wyatt having to fight an internal conflict of whether he wants the WWE Title, or whether he wants his family back.

I'd assume they take the title off Bryan before the next Saudi Arabia show (unless they're okay not defending it there, cause I want him to have a loooooong reign) and if they're going to roll with it, you may as well roll with Wyatt in that spot in a fresh start on a new brand, with new motivations character-wise, and as a face.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Bray and Bryan..the manbun brothers..

Have the details ever actually come out?

I don't know of specific numbers, but Jericho claims it's "NHL" money and Meltzer said it's not Cena or Brock money, but it'd be at the top end of WWE's list if it were there.

Lol. NHL money could be anywhere from $800K to $12.5M so that doesn't really help.

It's probably $4M or so. Health insurance is big though. That's probably exceeding 6 figures for those guys.

I would guess $3-million guaranteed. Not quite Cena/Brock, but around the Orton area.

Depends on what sources you believe as I'm reading two that are wayyy different on what the top guys make. But both have Cena/Lesnar at well over $5M per, and Roman hovering right around $5M per.

One has AJ at $2M and the other at $3.5M.

I'm just talking downsides.

They brought AJ in but didn't quite expect him to be a main event guy. I thought I read his downside was like... $800,000 or something, but because of how hot he got, his merch stuff and shows, plus the time he's spent as champ pushes him over $2-million yearly.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Not sure if it was already noted here, but supposedly Dave spoke with multiple doctors who say if Roman is already filming a movie his Leukemia is probably not a deadly type and that would possibly mean he'll be back sooner rather than later.

 

[Kakko]

Not quite news, but the WWEPC channel is the best thing WWE has done since NXT

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Anyone whose deal is up in the next year or two was pulled into a room by management to get them locked in long-term.

yeah I dunno how you can read this and think the Ambrose situation is a work. sounds like WWE are rattled and trying to get everyone in line
