Careful or you will make the list -
I really wish they would have kept lesnar and reigns feuding. Lesnar was the only thing that could have pushed reigns over with the crowd. Let's say after wm 31, they continued to feud until summerslam. Lesnar vs Reigns again. This time lesnar has trouble beating reigns in a good fight so lesnar cheats with a steel chair to beat reigns. Reigns goes over and lesnar gets booed out the building. Set up reigns for a big victory over lesnar in the future.

No one was going to boo lesnar hitting Roman with a chair after making "Roman look strong" in a match.

- Due to WWE Network subscriptions not reaching expectations, WWE will likely be cutting back on the amount of PPV events in 2017.
- ESPN is producing a 30 For 30 special on Vince McMahon's failed Xtreme Football League (XFL) that will air in February: -
After reading that bit of news I think it's safe to say that this brand extension has been a failure. Instead of doing all those PPV they should have just been matches from RAW & matches from Smackdown on each PPV.

It's not a failure. It's only been 5 months. Smackdown has been great and raw has mostly been hit or miss. Still has some work to be done -
As noted, The Undertaker recently appeared in Cleveland at The Q to welcome back the NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers for their championship ring ceremony and season opener.
There were photos of Taker meeting several Cavs players but none of Taker and LeBron James, who was photographed wearing a Taker t-shirt during the NBA Finals. James getting media attention for the t-shirt is what led to Taker making the appearance at The Q in the first place.
Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon reports that James arrived to the arena before Taker, wife Michelle McCool and The Ultimate Warrior's family, but claimed not to know the WWE crew was out there. Word quickly spread through the locker room that Taker was waiting outside of the locker room door but he still never met with James.
Vardon responded to a question from a reader and explained why James and Taker never met:
I love this question. For a quick review, The Undertaker was stationed outside the locker room at The Q for an uncomfortable hour (give or take) on opening night, apparently to meet James (with cameras and cell phones rolling for the fine folks at WWE to capture the moment and spread the footage around the globe). The reason, besides the huge publicity it would generate for the WWE, was James wore a T-shirt from Homage with The Undertaker's likeness on the front on practice day prior to Game 5 of the Finals.
James arrived at The Q before the wrestler and his posse, and claimed not to know he was out there. But of course the word immediately spread through the locker room that The Undertaker was waiting outside.
Here's a life lesson. If you don't have an appointment, don't already know James personally, aren't a business associate or a small child, the odds of "meeting" James before or after a Cavs game in or near the locker room are not great. I once saw Houston Astros stud second baseman Jose Altuve try to get a meeting with James after a game against the Houston Rockets in Texas. The request came through various team PR officials. Let's just say James had no interest.
Another rule. James is not cool with someone purposefully trying to make money or gain fame through him, away from the court. In other words, no PR stunts that don't benefit James. He wore an Undertaker T-shirt. For him, that's enough.
Damn. -
When asked about why Roman Reigns missed a live event in Vienna, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com responded with the following on Twitter:
"Was pulled off the rest of the tour. won't be at any shows rest of week. Don't know reason but not an injury."
When asked if it was due to a Wellness Policy violation or an injury, Meltzer said the following:
"Nothing to be concerned over. Everything is fine."
Take it "with a grain of salt" being Meltzer. -
According to The Wrestling Observer, a source within WWE creative says Vince McMahon did not believe Charlotte winning the Women’s WWE Hell in a Cell match is not the reason why the finish of the match did not go over well with the fans. Instead, McMahon blames Sasha Banks for the lackluster match finish.
The finish of the match was supposed to see Banks go through the table, and then get pinned by Charlotte after taking Natural Selection. Charlotte tried twice to put Banks through the table, but it would not break, which really isn’t the fault of either wrestler.
Some people backstage in WWE were sympathetic to Banks’ situation, as she would have risked tremendous backstage heat if she had called an audible and kicked out after the table didn’t break, plus then her and Charlotte would have had to come up with a new match finish.
Some feel the referee should have stepped in and directed the women, or at the very least should have told Charlotte to grab Banks’ tights for the heel win. Some also feel Charlotte could have been more celebratory when she won the title back from Banks. In any case, Vince McMahon was said to be completely behind changing the match finish and having Charlotte win, and it’s a decision he does not regret.

No RAW has been horrid over the last 5 months they have 3 hrs of programming and they are not even on par with Smackdown, and SD has less marque talent to work with and still puts on better shows. RAW had maybe 2 or 3 solid shows where they out right beat Smackdown but that's it. -

Either injury or Vince will probably force her out but at the rate she is going in the ring now she's not going to last long.
