Then Bray better run off and headline his own wrestling company. All the AEW hoopla is the only reason Cody is even treated as a big deal in the WWE, for however long that's gonna last.

Backlash was a decent PPV despite the unremarkable card. A credit to a motivated roster I guess.

Turns out Roman isn’t going Hollywood….at least anytime soon. Turns out he just signed a new contract that has him working far less dates…especially way less house shows. I

So, Sasha and Naomi who are the Womens Tag Team Champions, walked out on Raw

https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/...what-went-down

Pretty much they both didn’t like the creative direction of their tag team run and wanted to do a program with Doudrop and Nikki ASH leading into HIAC, but were told nope. Then being told that Naomi was going to win the scheduled 6 Pack Challenge to face Bianca Belair at HIAC, both wanted Doudrop and Nikki to interfere to get their program going but was given another, nope. So then they decided to walk out changing the main event from Sasha vs Naomi vs Becky vs Asuka vs Nikki vs Doudrop to Becky v Asuka

And the other plan in place was Ronda v Sasha at HIAC but I’m sure that’s scrapped as well.

Also they didn’t like the idea of jobbing out to Belair and Rousey at HIAC, respectively.

For the final final time Ric Flair will enter the ring to celebrate his 50 years in professional wrestling at age 73. After the embarassing bout with Hulk Hogan on TNA prime-time I don't know why he would.

This is the second time Sasha has pulled some kind of crybaby sh*t and tried to sabotage a show.

I'm amazed she gets work. Seriously. She should be fired, period. If you pulled that sh*t at an indy show with 30 people in the crowd, you'd never get booked in that area again. Everyone would collectively say, "Don't book that primadonna." And yet she's done this before and kept her job.

Get rid of her.

Yeah, I think it was very petty of her. Her actions along with that of Naomi cost both Doudrop and Nikki a main event match. Like I see no good or logical reason why both Nikki and Doudrop had to suffer and get pulled from a big match just because of Sasha and Naomi walking out….could’ve easily been a Fatal Four instead of just Asuka v Becky.

[Coola Yagami]

The biggest thing is WWE flat out saying it's all an act, it's all a show.

Like yeah, I get it. It's all pre-determined. You don't just flat out say it though. I know kayfabe is all but dead but c'mon. WWE let out an official statement flat out saying 'they are characters rehearsing for the match tonight'.

Jim Cornette is gonna have a stroke.

[Leo656]

What's even worse is the example it sets. She even got Bayley to go along with her little "lie on the floor and pout' game a while back and by all accounts Bayley is generally above such nonsense. But toxic attitudes tend to spread. Sasha should have been fired when that happened, but instead she got a paid vacation and came back with a push.

She's teaching the rest of the locker room that you can cry about the booking and get your way. No, you can't. I've lost way more than I've won, even when it made no sense. I've had to put over people the company had "huge plans for" who ended up quitting the business a month later. That's wrestling. You don't have creative control.

She's a f*cking diva, and for my money I always thought she sucked anyway. Sh*tcan her. Let her pull that sh*t on the indies and see how long it takes for her to find a bunch of ice, piss and feces in her gym bag.

To be fair though, if you really wanna see a bitch cry, have them book Rollins as a jobber on a massive lose streak ala Stardust.

Didn't Triple H once piss and moan cause he didn't want to be moved to Smackdown since it was the lesser show and he demanded he stayed on RAW no matter what?

[Leo656]

He sure did.

I'm not happy about his heart problem or anything but I "love" how a little health scare makes everyone do a complete 180 on someone and ignore what a proven scumbag they were for their entire career. That's life, I guess.

The Male Joker for the Owen Hart Tournament is Johnny of many last names. IE Johnny Nitro John Morrison Johnny Mundo Johnny Impact. He is now Johnny Elite.

He was always underused in WWE. That dude can go

The Female Joker was Joshi Wrestler Maki Ito.

[Last Ronin]

I used to love Sasha Banks but then she started calling fans creepy and her diva attitude started to show up more and more. Taking Naomi with her down the tube is just wrong but Naomi is dumb for following suit. WWE it seems is falling apart and doesn't know what to do.

[ZariusTwo]

Stephane McMahon has stepped down from her active duties for an undisclosed period of time to spend time with her family, Nick Khan will take over her role in the company

Nick Khan is gonna own WWE at this point.

Usos defeated RK-BRO to unify the tag team titles

Sasha Banks and Naomi have been indefinitely suspended and stripped of the women's tag team titles.

Love how they reward Naomi's husband with even more tag gold despite numerous DUI violations and strip Naomi of her own just for hating whatever creative has for her.

Not only that, Sasha Banks and Naomi's merch were removed from the WWE Shop. I'm not sure about Naomi but Sasha had to be one of their top sellers.
