Today we’ll be taking a look at what’s going on with Zelina Vega and Carmella, the
change of plans for Seth Rollins, and all the topics behind why Triple H was trending
Let’s start things off with this new report for how plans changed for Seth Rollins
Like everyone has been talking about, the cancellation of the Universal Title match
at Day 1 allegedly did not affect WWE’s plans for Roman vs Brock at Wrestlemania
But obviously, the cancellation of the Day 1 Universal Title match did affect other superstars
and other plans that were previously in place
It was a big story when the WWE Fox account accidentally posted that Day 1 graphic that
had Big-E listed as the winner of the WWE title match
Everyone basically took that as evidence that Big-E was likely going to retain his title
in that match before the addition of Brock Lesnar came into play
But new reports have once again changed the story
Now reports claimed that Seth Rollins was originally going to be the winner of the match
and start 2022 off as the new WWE champion
Remember that originally it was just supposed to be Big-E vs Seth Rollins at Day 1 after
Rollins won that ladder match on Raw, but then more and more superstars kept getting
added into the match, so it was no longer a one-on-one match
But according these reports, had everything gone down as originally planned, Seth Rollins
would’ve walked out of Day 1 as WWE champion and Brock Lesnar very well could’ve walked
out as Universal Champion
Seth Rollins has been out of the world title scene for several years now
He held the Universal Title in late 2019, but it’s been even longer than that since
he’s held the WWE title
So it would’ve been great to see this new heel version of Seth Rollins back on top as
WWE champion
How would this joker-like version of Seth Rollins react to winning the WWE championship?
What would he say?
What would he do?
Who would he feud with?
It would’ve been very interesting to see, maybe Seth’s first defense would’ve been
against Big-E at Royal Rumble and he possibly could’ve taken the title into Wrestlemania
as well
But as we now know, that didn’t end up happening
But on the bright side, the WWE title match at Royal Rumble is now Brock Lesnar with Paul
Heyman versus Bobby Lashley with MVP, so it’s very hard to complain about that
This is a match that fans originally wanted to see at last year’s Summerslam and when
WWE decided to go with Goldberg to be Lashley’s opponent, some fans were a bit disappointed
But the important thing is that we’re here now and we’re about to see Lashley versus
Lesnar after all these years of talking about that dream matchup
So it looks like Brock Lesnar or no Brock Lesnar, Big-E’s title reign was unfortunately
coming to an end at Day 1 either way
It’ll also be interesting to see if WWE will revisit a potential Seth Rollins world
title reign later this year
—————————
The newly paired up team of Carmella and Zelina Vega have been getting a lot of success lately
The two first paired up in the summer when they were both feuding with Liv Morgan
They took a break from each other during the Queen’s Crown tournament, but then reunited
after Zelina won the crown
Then shortly after that, they even captured the tag team titles together
It was Carmella’s first title win since she won the 24/7 title and the Smackdown women’s
title several years ago
It was also the first WWE title ever for Zelina Vega herself
Zelina even appeared on Cheap Heat podcast and discussed how much she’s been enjoying
this run so far, she had this to say, quote:
“I feel like this is the shot that I’ve been waiting for and this is the thing that
I need to go, ‘Okay, you’ve been wanting for something for so long.
This is the time to show them and prove them right.
They gave you this opportunity.
Prove them right.’
You know, and I always say give me the ball.
If I drop it, screw me, but if you don’t do it, then you won’t know.
I just feel like now more than ever, I have a fire under me like I’ve never had before.”
End quote
And Zelina has a point, they’ve definitely gave her a lot of opportunities lately
They picked her to be the first ever Queen’s Crown winner and crowned her tag team champion
a few weeks later
So Zelina is on a hot streak right now and like she said, it’s time to prove them right
and show them that they made the right decision with her
As far as Zelina’s tag team partner Carmella goes, there is some concerning reports out
there about Carmella
reports claim that Carmella is dealing with a lot of nagging injuries and this is why
we haven’t seen much of her in the ring in recent weeks
It was even noted that Carmella wasn’t even tagged in at all during a recent tag team
title defense for this same exact reason
They just wanna limit her usage in the ring to give her more time to fully get healthy
So it’s unfortunate that she has to deal with these injures, but she’s still out
there in some fashion still taking part in the show, still entertaining the audience,
so you still have honor and respect Carmella for doing that
But hopefully she does get fully healthy so she can get back in that ring full-time

Now let’s into everything with Triple H, why was he trending, and all of the other
topics surrounding that story
Triple H has been out of commission since early fall due to his heart incident
During his time away, we know that a lot has changed, especially with his NXT brand
NXT, from 2012 to mid 2021, was the closest we’ve seen to Triple H running his own wrestling
brand
He took that brand and really shaped it up in his own image
And even during one of NXT’s early peaks around 2015-2016, there was a point where
fans were enjoying NXT way more than Raw or Smackdown, that’s how great NXT once was,
it was a must-watch show every week
But then everyone started seeing a trend, some NXT stars did see great success, but
there were other NXT stars who went to the main roster and lost their character and direction
But either way, Triple H kept going, kept creating more stars and characters in NXT,
but that brings us to the NXT rebrand
The rebrand brought a new look to NXT, but at the same time, it feels like it disrespectfully
vanished the old black and gold era out of existence
It wasn’t a peaceful new transition, it felt like they really wanted to act like that
era never happened and they wanna slowly get rid of everyone from that era, that’s just
what it feels like
And there was more evidence of that during Bron Breaker’s entrance
There was a black and gold “X” that he kicked through and knocked over during his
entrance, obviously signifying that he was putting an end to that old era by defeating
one of the last few NXT original superstars that are left
So for that reason and also due to the fact that everything from Triple H’s NXT has
now been erased, everyone started talking about the situation and that made Triple H
go trending
So will Triple H still play role in NXT when he returns or is he officially no longer part
of that operation?
We’ll have to wait and see, but what are your thoughts on today’s stories?
