News about what? It was a work.

Once Bobby Roo is on SmackDown I'll give up Raw forever.
Orton is on SD.
I mean...we've already seen Reigns as champion. 3 times in a year.
People aren't exactly going to get more livid.
They're just going to tune out.

He got suspended for not even a PPV and lost clean two or three times
I don't know what's more damning, that it counts as actual punishment in this dumb fucking company, or that everyone else they tried to push in his place either failed utterly or got suspended or hurt themselves. Usually that kind of comical bad luck happens in fairy tales with horribly ironic endings

I like Seth but I really don't want him as champion again right now but I'm sure that's what we'll get. I wish Jericho was the one winning it.

You're not wrong about any of this.
And, as easy as Roman had it, Balor had it even easier. (Until he got his shoulder fractured by Seth the Destroyer that is.)
And yes... professional wrestling fans are indeed fools who part with their money.

Now we wait to see who gets #popped and what this big bad news is.
What are you talking about? Are there people getting hit with suspensions?

Rumoured to be up to ten in all. So 7 more.
Whoa. That's what all this popped stuff is about on here.

There were three big suspensions last week, and rumors of up to 7 more to come (the validity of those rumors are questionable). But multiple wrestling news personalities have mentioned that there might be some real bad news breaking this week and that it probably wouldn't be a good week for wrestling.

Does Rome get a rematch for the title? Or no rematch clause on the contract when he was champ

KO is definitely eating the pin for someone. That's his job in that match.

All popped everything bro.
I don't get it why WWE always bring Roman back when they have some injuries on the roster
He was on the mid-card last year fighting against Bray, Seth got hurt and they give the title to him
He was on the mid-card now, Finn got hurt and he is back to the main event
They should give him the US title (sorry Rusev), try to work his character on the mid-card and give him a shoot for the title only after next year Mania

He already got his rematch in that triple threat match mate.
Eh. When the title is on someone Vince actually likes, they make up all the excuses in the world for when ratings go down.

I forgot about that. Good looking out!!
There was a fight, I guess.

I love Owens, but the excuses made for his ratings would be hilarious.

Yeah, it's almost a blessing in disguise that Balor's first big run didn't coincide with probably the lowest ratings ever for Raw once MNF starts.

Agreed. Folks pretend to forget those terrible Rollins ratings too.
Yeah, if Owens doesn't win next week (I'll even take that nigga Big Cass) I think I'm going to exclusively watch SD. I can catch the Raw parts I want to see online later but there's no use watching when Reigns is doing this. I don't want Rollins as champion either, not as a major heel.
I'm just tapped out of Raw.

Vinces plan for HHHs big NXT guy to cap off worst ratings of all time numbers foiled by an injury

So are they setting Sasha vs Charlotte or Bayley vs Charlotte for Clash of Champions?

No matter who they put on top the ratings will tank. It could be Roman, it could be Seth, it could be whoever. The MNF thing is an excuse but it's a legitimate one, and anyone who acts like whoever is holding the belt is responsible is ignoring the obvious.

I wonder if Roman will tweet about the chants from tonight 🤔

Sasha's hurt. It's over friend
If you guys were in charge of booking, how would you get rid of Roman's nuclear heat? Do any of you have the perfect plan?
If money wasnt an issue, i would just take him off tv for a good 6 months. Then i would bring him back to feud with a mid carder like sheamus or something. And then make him work his way back up the card over a year.

Embrace him as a heel.
Then when the crowd actually starts cheering him down the line, turn him back face.
I would have him job to everyone all the way to the Midcard. Eventually people will feel bad for him and give him a shot out of pity.
