Some huge new reports are starting to go around regarding The Hurt Business 2.0, so we’ll
see what’s going on there.
We’ll also check out what questions Bray Wyatt had about Roman Reigns’ title reign,
and more
Let’s start things off with these new reports regarding The Hurt Business
So The Hurt Business’ reunion has been something WWE has been teasing and hinting to ever since
the end of December
Last time we went over the latest teasers with The Hurt Business, we discussed how Bobby
Lashley was starting to act more and more like a heel, and how that could mean that
he could be getting close to letting MVP know that he wants back into The Hurt Business
So basically the whole group is waiting on Bobby Lashley.
The second he decides to re-join them, that’s probably when the 2.0 version of The Hurt
Business will really take off
Well now there’s even rumors and reports of new members being discussion for The Hurt
Business 2.0
Wrestling Observer Radio reports that there was reportedly discussions about calling NXT’s
Carmelo Hayes up to the main roster and having him join the new Hurt Business
Carmelo Hayes has had a lot of recent success in NXT and his popularity is growing at a
rapid pace as well
So he would be an interesting call up and addition to the group
Last time WWE called up a NXT superstar to join a faction it was extremely successful,
we’re of course talking about Solo Sikoa
Solo was on way up in NXT, but they called him up to the main roster to join The Bloodline
and it has been nothing but a major success so far and has really elevated Solo Sikoa
to new levels that he previously wasn’t at during his time in NXT
So that very well could be the same case for Carmelo Hayes
Pair him up with a former champion like Bobby Lashley, great mentor like MVP, veterans like
Shelton Benjamin… and it would be really interesting to see him be the new breakout
star from this new version of The Hurt Business
Only issue with this rumor is that Carmelo Hayes is still expected to challenge Bron
Breakker for the NXT world title in the coming months
So maybe the outcome of that title match will also hint at what they decided to do with
Carmelo Hayes
If he defeats Bron Breakker for the title, then obviously he’s not leaving NXT because
he’ll be the world champion for the brand
But if he’s unsuccessful in dethroning Bron Breakker, maybe we do have a strong chance
of seeing Hayes come over to the Hurt Business
Carmelo Hayes did respond directly to the report on Twitter and gave it a one star rating
and implied that it was very false
But The Hurt Business isn’t even fully back together quite yet, but with the teasers that
have already been planted, there’s a lot of buzz around the group getting back together
So hopefully sometime in the near future we get see the final product of what The Hurt
Business 2.0 will look like
Will Bobby Lashley come back to the group and will we see new members such as Carmelo
Hayes?
It’ll be great to see how that all turns out
——————————-
Roman Reigns just surpassed 900 days as Universal Champion
It’s the longest reign WWE has seen in decades and is easily the most historic reign in all
of recent WWE history
And another insane stat about all this, Roman Reigns has just surpassed John Cena for total
combined days as WWE champion
John Cena had 16 world title reigns, but even those 16 title reigns combined together still
don’t add up to Roman’s total days as champion
So that really does put it into a better perspective
Wrestlemania 39 may or may not be the end of Roman’s title reign, but either way,
it’s been a historic run
The BT Sport account recently put up a graphic with all of Roman’s title defenses from
throughout this title reign
Roman defended the title over 27 times across the last few years
But what surprised fans was some other superstars being in the comment section of that graphic
of Roman Reigns
The superstars who left a comment on that post included Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman
Bray Wyatt responded to the post of Roman’s 27 title defenses by saying, quote:
“Yeah but how did he win it?”
End quote
Braun Strowman also backed up what Bray Wyatt was saying
So to answer Bray Wyatt’s question and dive deeper to his point, Roman’s title reign
started back at Payback 2020
Now the Smackdown before Payback was focused on Roman, Wyatt, and Strowman all signing
the contract for their triple threat match for the universal title
Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman had no issues signing the contract on that edition of Smackdown,
but it was Roman Reigns who had an issue with it and didn’t sign the contract on Smackdown
So the Payback event came around and it was just Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman one on
one since Roman refused to sign the contract
But several minutes into the match, Roman and Heyman come out to the ramp, and Roman
signs the contract right there on the stage and runs down to the ring where Strowman and
Wyatt had already beaten each other down
Roman picked up the scraps, put on the finishing touches, and pinned Braun Strowman to win
the universal title
So it looks like what Bray Wyatt could be implying is that even from day one of Roman
first winning the title, things were already fraudulent for the title reign
Not only did he pin Strowman for the title and not Bray Wyatt, but Roman signed the contract
while the match was already well under way
So it looks like that’s Bray’s main point here.
That Roman didn’t even win the title in a honorable way, plus Bray Wyatt never got
his rematch clause for the title
Roman Reigns has defended his title against the certain challengers multiple times throughout
the years, but never defended the title even once against Bray Wyatt
And like everyone knows, of course Bray Wyatt doesn’t need any world title at all to be
relevant, but the story and narrative there is just so strong that it’s pretty insane
to think that we never got that story even once
Bray Wyatt was the most recent universal champion before Roman’s historic title reign, so
it’s just hard to believe they never went back to that
And like we also talked about many times, Bray Wyatt was going to be Roman’s first
feud during this universal title reign
Bray introduced the Paul Heyman puppet to the funhouse and Alexa Bliss was staring down
Roman Reigns
So WWE was gearing up for it and then it was just scrapped
No one knows why it was scrapped but common sense tells us that maybe WWE figured it wasn’t
a good idea to make that match happen because Bray Wyatt was gonna take another big loss,
so they just decided to keep him away
if Roman Reigns is able to survive Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania, Bray Wyatt’s name may start
coming into the fold of possible new challengers
Of course the majority of fans believe it’s a no brainer that Roman Reigns is losing the
world titles to Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania
But a reoccurring theme in the Triple H regime so far is that if something seems painfully
obvious and expected, he’ll throw in a twist
He did it with the women’s tag team title tournament
Before the tournament even started, everyone said that Damage Control was obviously winning
and no one else stood a chance
And in the finals of that tournament, Damage Control got beat by Aaliyah and Raquel
So is that the same idea here?
Is Cody winning at Wrestlemania so painfully obvious that they’ll go in another direction
and Roman will actually retain?
But it’s just something to keep an eye on, it looks like Bray Wyatt hasn’t forgot that
Roman’s historic title reign all started by Roman stealing the title away from Bray
Wyatt
So it’ll be great to see Bray Wyatt eventually confront Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, or whenever
the new champion may be down the line as bray climbs back into the world title contention
