Brock Lesnar is already getting called out again in WWE, so we’ll see what’s going
on there.
We’ll also see what Bianca Belair is saying about her return to NXT, a big change for
the Money In The Bank event, and much more
Let’s start things off with this brief but major update for the Money In The Bank premium
live event
One big major change for this year’s Money In The Bank event was that it was going to
be another massive stadium show
It was set to take place in Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and
the home of Summerslam 2021
WWE even shot a commercial with Cody Rhodes inside of Allegiant Stadium promoting that
the event was taking place in a big football stadium for the first time ever
It was going to be interesting to see another big stadium show added to WWE’s schedule
but apparently Allegiant Stadium will no longer be the home of Money In The Bank 2022
WWE has sent out emails to those individuals who had previously purchased tickets for Allegiant
Stadium to inform them that the event has now been moved MGM Grand Garden Arena, which
is also in Nevada
So still the same local area, they’re just moving the event to an extremely smaller venue
From almost taking place at a football stadium to now taking place in this ordinary venue,
which holds 17,000 at max capacity
No one knows exactly why the event is moving, rumor is that this move to a smaller arena
is reportedly due to low ticket sales for the event, but reports claim that there could
be other reasons as well
So maybe when they figured out that Allegiant Stadium was not going to be close to selling
out and looking full for the presentation, they decided to move things to a smaller venue
However, that doesn’t mean that all stadium shows are gone.
There’s still two major stadium shows coming up over the next few months
Summerslam and Clash At The Castle are both still set to be big stadium shows with that
near Wrestlemania-sized crowd
The reports say that the turn out for Summerslam and Clash At The Castle may play a big role
in WWE deciding the future for more stadium shows per year
It used to be pretty much just Wrestlemania that was the only big stadium show, but now
WWE is making stadium shows with Royal Rumble, Summerslam, Clash… and they attempted it
obviously with Money In The Bank, but that didn’t turn out the way they expected it
to
So it is a bit unfortunate, huge stadium shows are always more exciting because you got more
fans in the arena, louder reactions, but it just looks like Money In The Bank wasn’t
gonna get the turn out that they wanted

When you think of great and recent homegrown talent to come out of the WWE performance
center, one of those names you just have to mention is Bianca Belair
Bianca wasn’t grinding out in the wrestling indies during her early career, she actually
never stepped foot inside a wrestling ring until she was signed with WWE at age 27 and
was a full product of WWE
And in just a few years, Bianca Belair was on NXT, called up to the main roster, and
then main eventing Wrestlemania
So the performance center made a mega star there with Bianca Belair
Bianca has had nothing but historically great success on the main roster
Consecutive wins for championships at back-to-back Wrestlemanias, beating WWE’s top stars like
Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley and more
But one place that Bianca Belair was never able to make it to the top at was NXT
And this is definitely not a new trend, we’ve seen this plenty of times before
Superstar won’t get that much attention in NXT, won’t capture any titles in NXT,
but they go to the main roster and become mega stars
Just like Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss.
Both of them never made it to the top of the women’s division in NXT, but they accomplished
everything on the main roster
Bianca Belair is the latest to fall into that category.
Tons of main roster success, but she never captured that NXT women’s title
Bianca Belair recently spoke with VL Media and talked about how interest in returning
to NXT, she had this to say:
"I have never won the NXT Women's Championship.
It was quite a complicated thing to do at the time.
I saw that Natalya was currently there.
Natalya is a legend in this medium.
It's great to see her wrestle in NXT 2.0 with these young wrestlers.
This isn't the first time she's wrestled in NXT.
As far as I'm concerned, NXT is where I learned it all.
I didn't know anything about wrestling when I arrived.
I started at 27 years old with no experience in the ring.
NXT is my home.
It would be nice to be able to come back there to face these young wrestlers.
I've always loved Lo and had the chance to wrestle her when I was in NXT.
I’m seeing Amari (Miller).
I love her.
She’s so passionate.
I don't know if I've ever met someone with as much passion as her.
I also really appreciate the rivalry between Nikkita Lyons and Lash Legend, they have a
cool and fresh thing going on.”

So what Bianca is after there with wanting to return to NXT is very possible
Like we’ve been seeing, there’s always at least one active storyline in NXT nowadays
that contains a main roster Superstar
That’s something that they’ve been seeing a lot with the new version of NXT, they’ve
been having some main roster Superstars appear on NXT and have these shorts feuds with some
of the upcoming talent
Natalya was one of the most recent guests on NXT, so who’s to say that Bianca Belair
can’t make a return appearance down the line
Like Bianca said, she really didn’t have that much experience during her first NXT
run, so she wants to head back over there redeem herself for that first run, pick up
a few wins, and it even sounded like she would be interested in trying to go after the NXT
women’s title
If Mandy Rose is still champion by the time Bianca returns to NXT, a Mandy Rose versus
Bianca Belair match does sound pretty intriguing
You have Mandy at the top of her game and Bianca on a hot streak herself, so it would
be interesting to see those two collide

Brock Lesnar’s WWE future is a uncertain right now because the biggest issue for when
it comes to brock is that you have a worthy enough opponent and story for him
Like Brock has said before, he needs to be fully invested in his opponent and the story
before he can even entertain the pitch from WWE
Brock was obviously loving his story with Roman Reigns, he’s very fond of Roman Reigns,
and that’s why he agreed to the Wrestlemania 38 story
But where does Brock go from here?
Is there another worth opponent out there besides Roman Reigns?
The answer is yes, Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley recently appeared on The Bump and already put it out there that he wants
Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 39, Lashley had this to say, quote:
"We're in L.A. next year, right, for WrestleMania?
If we're in Hollywood it's a big matchup.
For me, I've always had these really tough challenges going into WrestleMania, which,
of course this one- it has to be another big one.
Me and Brock [Lesnar], we still have a little score to settle.
I have a win over him and then he ended up winning my title back but we're not done.
We're not done.”
End quote
And Lashley brings up such a great point
Lashley and Lesnar’s first match ended in some controversy after Roman assisted Bobby
Lashley in the win over Brock Lesnar
Then their second meeting was in the elimination chamber, but Lashley was written out of the
match early on and Lesnar ended up picking back up the title
So in general matches with each other they’re both tied with one win a piece, but head-to-head,
Lashley has the lead one to zero
So hopefully that is something WWE considers for Wrestlemania 39 because it would be great
to see them go at it again with no outside interference this time around
