Wait are you sure about that last bit? I know the big rumor is Finn is next in line for Brock, but I haven’t heard it would be the Mania match.

That is potentially huge for Finn

Meant Royal Rumble. Oops.

 

[The Gongshow]

I wonder if they do Brock vs Finn at Rumble, Brock obviously goes over cause WWE...then later they do Brock vs Demon Finn with Finn going over ...

Idk... I don't want them jobbing Demon Finn so soon. I know he's lost down at NXT but you could build it up to be so much more on the main roster.

 

[dahrougem2]

I don't know how reliable this is but it turned up on my BleacherReport app, but Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated is reporting that Nia Jax requested her leave of absence due to unhappiness regarding booking and pay, and that she has added leverage due to The Rock being in her corner, but that Nia will return to the fold eventually.

If that's true, she's got an enormous ego and should be released immediately.

Finn will never go over Brock. Period.

Everyone should have the right to try and get more money from their rich boss, whether they have just a small amount of leverage, a lot of leverage, or none at all even. Nia’s just playing the game. It’s a business.

I don't disagree with that, but I also think you should have the ability to back it up with your talent and being a worthwhile asset to the company. I don't think Nia Jax has the talent to be demanding an increased pay and better booking.

So....Finn is being primed for Brock...which means Bray is jobbing....again. For the third month in a row.

Here's a friendly reminder of how ****ing good this guy actually is.

I don't think it means Bray is jobbing. The way they rehab guys after jobbing is just coming out the next night on Raw and being great. If they put Finn in a #1 contenders match against whoever and he wins, that's it - he is the top guy moving forward.

 

[ColePens]

I hope the WWE calls her bluff because she sucks and shouldn't be on TV.

 

[GKJ]

They have her on Total Divas, so that means something for sure.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I’m taking SI with a grain of salt. They said Corbin lost the cash in because of Cena, when it turned out it was about his talking out st the concussion doctor.

 

[Kimi]

But that's done for the season, they can just ditch her for the next one without issue.

But they still use the cast members on TV to promote the show.

 

[Disclose]

maryse is already not on tv.... the bellas too.
and i think nia is beautiful, but if im gonna watch Total Divas is not for her.

All the more reason to promote Nia because she's actually there. Maryse has a good reason to not be.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Absolutely love the Rock...

Hate the fact that being related to him gets you pull backstage. If Nia was anybody else she would have never made the main roster and would be in the performance center working on wrestling/promos/physique.

If I was Vince and she asked for more money I'd shred her contract right in front of her and wish her good luck getting booked in the indies.

 

[dahrougem2]

If Nia wasn't related to The Rock I'm certain WWE wouldn't even bother hiring her in the first place. As much as they're pushing this "monster" gimmick of hers and how she's different from the other women, the reality is she is not what WWE/Vince look for in a women. Not at all.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Ryan Satin confirms there's a meningitis scare on the Raw roster and it could affect TLC.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I know it sucks that Bray is constantly losing, but who are some heels Finn should go over instead on his way to face Brock at the RR? The Miz?

 

[GKJ]

Kevin Owens has left the South American tour for personal reasons.

Angle replacing Reigns, Styles replacing Wyatt. Wow.

 

[SeidoN]

lolol what a joke

Well I mean, what are you supposed to do really? Health comes first. What a crazy comeback match for Angle, I wonder how long he's actually in the ring for.

I know, just funny with the huge Shield build, and the endless Balor v Wyatt and nw they have to switch both lol

It is pretty funny, especially since I personally thought the Shield reunion was pretty damn crappy to begin with.

 

[BonMorrison]

I feel like just scrapping the Balor/Wyatt match and putting Balor in the main event would've made more sense, no?
