There’s some new information surrounding the WWE writers, so we’ll see what’s going
on there.
We’ll also check out what’s happening with Bray Wyatt, The Bloodline, and much more
Let’s start things off with an update for the WWE writers
As you may have already heard about by now, WGA writers have gone on strike after a deal
was not reached with the representatives of Hollywood studios
WGA noted that residual pay has not adjusted to a streaming world, how it’s not fair,
and how has caused a massive strike
This strike is now obviously causing massive delays for upcoming movies, TV series, live
talk shows, and more…
mostly everything is missing in action and will eventually be affected by this strike
if an agreement isn’t reached soon
And reports claim that it may take months to resolve
This had WWE fans wondering about the WWE writers, are they included in this strike
and how exactly does this affect WWE television?
Well Nick Khan recently addressed this matter during WWE’s Quarter one earnings call,
he had this to say about where the WWE writers stand, quote:
“Our writers are not members of the guild, so there is no effect on us whatsoever.
Of course we are supportive of the writers who are members of the guild and their efforts,
and we are hopeful a deal can be reached between them and the other side in short order."
End quote
So that’s why WWE television hasn’t been affected, their writers are not part of the
guild, but they’re still sending out support to the writers that are on strike

Bray Wyatt hasn’t been a part of Smackdown since February 24th, but his name has still
been in the headlines due to a few different reports and the fan buzz that’s still surrounding
his return
There was the report that Bray is allegedly excited to return to WWE again, and the recent
report that WWE has brought in a brand new writer to handle his story
So there’s been somethings related to Bray Wyatt to talk about, but the overall mystery
around his return is still there
A few weeks before Wrestlemania, there was a fake Q.R.
code that had some fans fooled thinking it was related to Bray Wyatt, but it turned out
to be fake
And now it seems like some fans were slightly fooled again with something that went down
at Backlash
While the camera was on the commentary table, a monster looking creature can be seen right
behind Michael Cole with a sign that red ‘I do exist.
Hashtag: Feed Your Wildside’
In reality, this was obviously just a sneaky way for WWE to implement a Jack Link’s Beef
Jerky advertisement into Backlash
They even posted some other advertisements with the brand just a few days before on social
media
So this was done in a way to make viewers think it was probably an Easter egg, but it
was simply just an advertisement
Fans that were completely unfamiliar with Jack Link instantly wondered if this was the
first return teaser for someone like Bray Wyatt
Before Bray made his return at Extreme Rules 2022, there were lots of Easter Eggs and hints
there were being showed in a similar matter
There were signs behind Michael Cole on Smackdown, Rabbits walking through the crowd, and so
much more other things like that, so at first glance, fans thought that’s what was going
on here, but unfortunately not, it was just an advertisement
A recent photo of Bray Wyatt has also surfaced from a wedding, but other than that, things
have still been pretty silent
Considering that the draft has passed and Bray Wyatt wasn’t drafted, this does add
a bit more buzz to his return because technically he’s a free agent, so his big return can
happen either for the Raw brand or the Smackdown brand
Obviously, Bray’s return and first appearance since February will be a big deal so maybe
it’s a return that they do save for even one of the upcoming premium live events
So it’s still something big to look forward to in the coming months
————————————
Now let’s get into the latest big developments with The Bloodline’s story because the Smackdown
before Backlash and Backlash itself definitely did some things to advance the story
Let’s start off with the Smackdown before Backlash
Jimmy is hyped up and he’s trying to get Solo Sikoa hyped up too, but Solo is completely
ignoring him
This caused Jey to get more serious and stern towards Solo Sikoa and told him that Jimmy
was asking him a question
Solo Sikoa said that he’ll be ready to do his part at Backlash and how the Usos better
do their part, Solo said this all while continuing to tape up his thumb that he uses for the
Samoan Spike, basically hinting at the idea that he’ll hit them with the spike if they
don’t live up to expectations
So then we get to the Backlash event itself and tensions are once again running high between
all three brothers
Jey and Solo were constantly having these mini arguments in the middle of their six
man tag match
Solo Sikoa also grabbed Jey Uso and almost hit him with a spike during the madness and
confusion of the match
Solo Sikoa also saved Jey Uso from losing the match several times
Solo was even hesitant to tag his brothers into the match, which was one of those nice
subtle little details because it shows that Roman’s word is getting through to Solo,
he doesn’t really trust his brothers to handle their business the same way Roman doesn’t
trust them right now
It’s also very important to point out that Solo Sikoa was the one to pick up the win
in this match despite all the chaos and miscommunication
So in a way, even though The Bloodline won the match, Solo Sikoa is the only one that
gets all the points here
He saved the match several times and he was the one who overcame everything to score the
pin-fall victory
And Jimmy appears to be the character that doesn’t really grasp how serious the situation
is, maybe Jimmy thinks all is well since they technically all picked up the win at backlash
But someone like Jey Uso is aware that even despite the win, Backlash has only made things
worse for The Usos
They’re arguing with Solo Sikoa, they’re making everything look so dysfunctional and
we know that’s something that Roman absolutely despises
He hates when the family loses and hates when they embarrass themselves
And although it went down in the history books as a win, Backlash was still an embarrassment
to the bloodline
So you just know this is a situation that Roman Reigns will address
Roman will be returning on the May 12th edition of Smackdown and he’ll have a lot to address
and talk about
Obviously, Roman will address the new world heavyweight championship because it’s not
fair and it should anger the character
Now in reality, the new world title is a great thing and was so desperately needed on Raw,
but within the storyline universe and from Roman’s point of view, it should be frustrating
for him
You’re the champion for 1000 days, you successfully defend your title against everyone and they
just spawn in another new world title that’s supposed to be on the same level as your title?
You can see why from Roman’s perspective, it’s a little messed up
That’s why Roman will likely have a lot to say about the creation of that new title
And that’s also why there’s a big popular fan theory going around that Roman has to
at least try to get the new world title within the bloodline, it’ll be out of character
for him if he and Heyman don’t even try to get their hands on it
Maybe Roman has been so impressed with how Solo has been holding things together while
he was gone that Roman does try to get Solo into the world heavyweight championship tournament,
that could be one route for Roman Reigns to take
And the other big situation Roman will address is obviously The Usos because remember, Roman
still hasn’t spoken to the Usos since before Wrestlemania
So technically, we haven’t even seen Roman’s reaction towards The Usos losing their tag
team titles, and now you throw in all the extra mistakes the Usos have been making over
the last few weeks… it’s definitely not gonna be easy for The Usos to deal with Roman
Reigns right now
