I don't think they knew and Vince had them go as planned as he didn't want anything leaking. RAW Scripts have been leaking for months and Vince didn't want to risk it IMHO. We #### on Vince and WWE constantly here but props to them on keeping status quo for that moment.
Yeah all the reports are that only a very few had any idea and that few didn't include the announcers or virtually any of the talent.
It was so hush hush the guy I use on twitter who has a source said he was finding out the same time as all of us. He said if you knew outside of WWE you either had a great source or were part of the people who knew already who told someone thats how well kept it was.
I think Rene Young knew (isn't she Dean's wife?). If you watch the announcers when they came back from commercial, you could tell the two guys had lost it - but Rene was pretty composed. I think the way they played it is exactly how they should have. In fact, I'd argue that if they had leaked it ahead of time, they'd have had a ratings bonanza Monday night. But they didn't go with the hype and instead did it what seemed like the right way. My one cent.NCCommish said:
Looking back, the tell was how he was dressed. He wasn't wearing his combat get-up and had his hair up. In fact, about 30 seconds before he dropped that bomb, I'd tweeted out a snarky remark about him wearing a man bun. He was also held out of house shows over the weekend due to "injury"; there was some speculation whether something was wrong, he just needed a couple of days off, whatever.
on the timing of the announcement to take attention away from Crown Jewel, go for it. Just don't expect me to follow.
No I knew they'd stay with it. Theres also reports that WWE officials don't see Evolution as a huge thing. Meltzer reported it was so Steph can keep pounding away at Women's evolution. He also said they are doing Evolution because of the whole Women and Saudi thing basically no Saudi deal no all Women's PPV but anyone surprised by that is living under a rock or a WWE mark. Not surprised at all. Just aggravated and Pissed at the whole situation.Tom Servo said:
I'd bet more on the mark part than the former. The number of people who only watch the E is frighteningly too large.
Or those who watch Total Divas and the fangirls who go screaming women's wrestling but anyone who disagrees with them they attack and then play the victim. Or they are just Ryan Satin pretending to be some SJW. There was one podcaster I use to listen too that was partnered with another one I listen too until they had a falling out. I stopped watching this guys videos and stuff after he blocked me on his social medias all because I followed his ex partner and after I made a comment that literally was defending both. Either way he called out the Women's RR as nothing more then WWE stroking their EGO. You might remember Pro Wrestling sheet running an article on a guy who made the tweet (JDFromNY206) and PWS ran with it I want to say Last Nov or Dec when it was announced (around the holidays as I saw the tweet when with family). People Called him out for hating Women's wrestling, anti women, a bully etc. I had a good chuckle at all these girls and people acting so "offended" by this tweet. Most were E loyalist and Roman Fans girls. These types of fans are the worse because all they do is divide because if you don't agree to the exact dotting of I's and crossing your Ts with them whey attack. It's really pathetic how these people follow this company like blind sheep but thats what Vince wants from his fans now. The guys I listen too are critiquing the product on social media and you have fans telling them to "just shut up and enjoy the show" or "If its that bad stop watching it." My favorite is the comeback responses of "This is what I do for a living to get paid to do/ Give my opinion." or "Well props to you for enjoying such shotty work and lazying writing but as a fan of 14-20 plus yrs who's dropped major money on them I have a right to an opinion too."
The MYC Finals was criminally short. Take out half of the Rousey/Bella match that should've been a squash. PPV was better then expected
People got rid of their network subscriptions after finding out the Crown Jewel horse#### is still in Saudia Arabia. They canceled it so WWE couldn't charge them for November and there was a Boycott of Sundays PPV do to why it was happening to begin with. Also John Cena nor Daniel Bryan will be at the PPV. WWE will run an injury angle possible tonight. DB isn't going for religious reasons. Went last time and felt incredible uncomfortable. Cana's talent agency he's signed with threatened to drop him if he went.
Meanwhile I've seen much worse commented on there about Roman and the McMahon family with no issues from people. Theres been rumors that Satin and company are deleting comments off their site viewed negatively in order to get more WWE scoops and be this generation David Meltzer with the inside sources to WWE.
Will Kurt be able to get up off the mat when he falls?
I'm going to take this with a grain of salt for the time being. Here's why:
Yeah because those were the guys most of the people going remember. Plus this thing is like for the Princes birthday? Maybe the US can send him a Birthday gift that he'll be blown away by receivingSo with Crown Jewel... the prince specifically wanted the Undertaker, S. Michaels and Triple H to come perform, right? And Kane? lol
Then there's the tournament that supposedly produces the "Best in the world"? Miz, Mysterio, Ziggler, KURT ANGLE, Hardy, Orton, Rollins... Bobby Lashley?!?
These guys are competing to be called the "Best in the World"?
On NXT AJ said he wished he went to NXT instead of being on the main roster first. He said it would've helped him with something WWE does differently. Both Kenny and Cody have been in WWE already so know what they expect. Marty and Page haven't been in WWE before. Theoretically you could have them go to NXT and have them team with Undisputed and bring them all to the main roster at mania. Remember Cole was in Bullet Club as well with Page but it was Scrull who helped YB attack Cole when he left ROH. VKM will be busy with the XFL next year from what I heard and Hunter could be taking a bigger role on the main roster story lines. Doesn't mean VKM won't have say but theres reports VKM will take more of a back seat on the WWE to focus on XFL and give Hunter this opportunity as a "test run" on the main stage and see how he does. All indications is whenever VKM retires Hunter is taking over. He is big fans of both Balor and KO which is why when they got to the main roster they were pushed hard. WWE I've heard wants get back to managers and stables to a degree as well. Brock won't be an issue as Hunter will be handling his next contract and Hunter was the one holding up the last Contract at mania because he didn't want to give 10M to Lesnar and thought it was a waste. VKM wanted too. So when Hunter takes over its been said you will see less contracts like Brock's and Hunter will have a take it or leave it approach. Special circumstances could be made depending who it is though. Vince wanted The Shield vs The Elite (Kenny and the Bucks) at Mania but obviously that is no longer gonna happen.I'm going to take this with a grain of salt for the time being. Here's why:
Both DX and NWO had one of their members holding the world title during their runs amok. Right now, I'm hard pressed to believe VKM is going to sign off on either Cody or Kenny as Universal (or WWE) champion. Vince hates guys he didn't make, so him putting a strap on Omega probably wouldn't happen. And the prospect of Cody with a world title would be baffling since he was always a mid-card talent (2x IC champ) there. Is Vince going to recognize his NWA and RoH world titles as an excuse to build him up? I'm of the opinion that he won't. In addition, with Vince loving his big guys, is he going to shunt Strowman, Lashley, and Brock to the sides just to get this faction over? This would almost necessitate turning Lashley (and to some extent, Brock) face if you're going to have this "invasion".
Also, why send Marty and Page to NXT? To debut Omega and Rhodes at the Rumble and then the rest of them after Mania means the Villain and Hangman are in NXT for what? 3 months? Why waste them there? Both guys - especially Hangman - have been tagged as the next big wrestler. NXT for both of these guys is a waste of their time. Plus, IIRC, either Page or Scurll's contract does run out with the others...which makes sending them to NXT an even dumber idea as they'd be there less than 2 months.

And then Shane wins the Cup!!!Roman buries Strowman in three minutes to win back the Universal title!!
I think you morphed Roman and Brock together to create The Next Big Dog.Roman buries Strowman in three minutes to win back the Universal title!!
Only match I watched was the main event.
If I were you, I’d probably hard pass on this. You’ll only get mad unless you can give it the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment.
I might watch the Main even and thats it. I saw The PED monster won the Universal title so that means after survivor Series we probably won't see the title again till Mania. I also saw that Shane won the World Cup thing? I guess its for SS storyline purposes? Heard Hunter tore his right Pectoral early in the main event so that likely means no Mania for Hunter. which is good since his match would just take up someone far more deserving.
and Madison liked the photo. used that same photo in her IG story.
