Guys stay tuned for some really crazy stores about vince mcmahon today
We’re kicking off today with news from Brock Lesnar, as whilst rumours persist
that the Beast will be back in time for Summerslam, we still don’t know who he’ll face.
Although a popular rumour was that Lesnar would face Bobby Lashley, but
according to Ringside News, that won’t be the case, as they reported that there’s
no talks of Lesnar facing the Almighty at all.
Given that Lashley has a WWE Title match this Sunday, and Paul Heyman
reportedly wants MVP to manage a world Champion soon, it certainly seems
possible that Lashley could be the top dog on RAW soon, but it looks like WWE
have other plans for Brock and Bobby at the biggest party of the summer.
Of course, there’s always the chance that Vince McMahon changes his mind
though the plans for Lesnar are usually pretty solid.
Since returning to WWE, Lashley has made it clear that he hopes to face Lesnar
one day, and though it may be a *****! of time before he holds the WWE
Championship, don’t expect the Almighty to face the Beast this Summer.
Now, we all know that WWE Superstars use social media, and sometimes it’s to
stir up some controversy online, much to the dismay of the Chairman of the board.
Recently, Randy Orton and Tommaso Ciampa teased each other on Twitter,
though a match between them isn’t in the works, and during Wrestling Observer
Live, Bryan Alverez noted that Vince McMahon isn’t happy with Superstars
sending those kind of tweets. He said:
“Vince hates it when guys or women or whatever do some thing that teases a
match that he’s not gonna do, but if he starts booking something that doesn’t pay
off it’s totally fine. There’s a different set of rules.”
We can kinda see the Chairman’s point, as fans are now wanting the Ciampa-
Orton feud that the company has no plans for, and whilst Dave Meltzer has said
they’re now working on an angle, the feud is reportedly real.
Whatever the case, it’s obvious that the Boss clearly doesn’t want any matches
promoted that he simply can’t deliver.
Two people McMahon won’t be booking anymore is FTR who will make their AEW
in-ring debut tonight, and the former Revival spoke to Jim Cornette about their
final days in WWE.
On Cornette’s podcast, Dax Harwood explained their last meeting with Vince
McMahon, where they said they knew they weren’t his cup of tea. He added:
He laughed at it and tried to shrug it off, but we told him, ‘we know we’re not your
cup of tea Vince, and that’s OK. We’re not gonna be everybody’s cup of tea. We’re
not gonna please everybody, and we’re not here to please everybody, but what we
do know is that there’s nobody better than us. We’re gonna work harder than
anybody in the company.’
Odds are that Tony Khan won’t be shrugging off anything that Harwood or Cash
Wheeler have to say to him, and given that Vince even pitched for the notoriously
serious Superstars to dress as clowns, its clear that the two sides had much
different ideas about what they wanted out of their relationship.
We’ve got more news from the Boss next, as it’s no secret that McMahon knows
exactly what he wants, but it turns out that the Boss was very hands on with the
latest taping of Friday Night SmackDown.
According to Ringside News, one segment featuring Jeff Hardy and Sheamus that
was taped this week took so long that McMahon himself came out to personally
produce the segment.
It’s been noted that there weren’t any problems per se with the segment, it was
just that it took a very long time to put together.
We’ll have to wait until this Friday to see what the segment that needed the Boss
to get involved was, and hopefully the Celtic Warrior and the Charismatic Enigma
won’t take so long when they face off this Sunday at Backlash.
Now, we all know that John Cena is a charitable person, and this week, the 16-
time World Champion dug deep into his pockets for the ****** ***** *****! movement.
Online, Cena revealed that he will be donating $1 million to the movement in
favour of racial equality, which matches what K-Pop Band BTS and Big Hit
Entertainment donated, as well as the money raised from over 35,000 members
of the BTS Army.
With a combined $3 Million raised with just this group, and countless more raised
by others, hopefully some positive change will come to the world during these strange times.
We’ve got news from AEW next, and there’s been a lot of talk lately about Owen
Hart following Vice’s Dark Side of the Ring episode, and even though AEW was
founded long after Owen’s tragic death, that won’t stop the company from paying homage to him.
Whilst speaking with Sportskeeda, Chris Jericho expressed a desire for the
company to work with Owen’s widow Martha, and said that he feels the spirit of
the two-time Slammy Award winner ***** on in AEW. He added:
“I’m a huge disciple of him. I’m very much influenced by Owen Hart. So I think that,
whether it’s New Japan or AEW, I think it’s important for Owen to be remembered
by his fans and by the people that he influenced, myself included.”
Martha working with AEW is far more likely than working with WWE, as she
blames the company for being responsible for her husband’s death, and Vice’s
episode highlight some of the mistakes the WWE could’ve avoided.
If Owen was still around today, it’s possible that he could be working in AEW as a
wrestler or backstage hand, and time will tell whether Martha allows her
husband’s name to be used in the popular promotion.
Back to WWE now, and Vince McMahon is a very busy man, so if you do happen to
catch a glimpse of him, he probably won’t have time for you.
During the ARN Show, WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson explained that Vince *****
and works in his own bubble, and explained why you never see Vince sign
autographs or take selfies. He said:
I’m pretty sure that’s never happened and never will happen. He functions in his own bubble.
The legendary four horseman went on to explain what Vince’s day is roughly like,
saying the Boss gets up very early in the morning for a workout, before his limo
takes him to the airport.
From there, it’s a series of flights and limos for the Boss before he makes it to
WWE headquarters where he’ll spend most of the afternoon in a meeting, and
this only gets busier as Arn explained:
He will go straight to gorilla when it’s time. When the show is over. Straight to
another limo. Straight to the private plane to the next town. Straight to the hotel
that they are staying at, company hotel. Then at 3 or 4 in the morning, he will go
to the gym again. Repeat. That’s pretty much the day in the life of Vince McMahon.”
With such a hectic schedule, it’s not hard to see why Vince doesn’t have time to
stop and talk with fans on the street,
It sure seems like an exhausting time for the Boss, but that’s just what it takes to
run a sports entertainment juggernaut like WWE.
One person who isn’t too busy right now is Sami Zayn, who is currently off TV due
to the ongoing global situation, but that isn’t the only issue for the former
Intercontinental Champion.
It’s been previously reported that Zayn has had issues backstage, even with those
trying to help him, and on his podcast, Arn Anderson explained that he too had
issues with the SmackDown Superstar, saying:
“Sami is a little too headstrong. Sami believes in himself but he also believes in his
ideas. Maybe it’s because I clashed with Sami. Sami and I clashed quite a few times
over what he perceived to be small things.”
Arn went on to talk about how things used to be when he competed, and how
he’d have to change matches moments before they started if an agent told them
the timings had changed, before comparing his situation, to Sami’s. He added:
I just don’t think Sami is going to be patient enough or creative enough to be able
to come up with a story that is completely different from the one you’ve been
talking about all day.”
We’ll have to wait and see what happens with Zayn when he returns, as although
he may be incredibly talented in the ring, he might need to work on how he
handles himself backstage.
Back to WWE now and the company recently relieved some bad press after
reports of how the NXT Superstars who have acted as the crowd have been
treated, and it looks like things are improving.
After reports that the gold brand stars had to stand in place for hours during
recent tapings without chairs, it’s now being reported that the company only
made them stand during the last set of tapings when they were needed.
Whilst some noted that the treatment of Superstars was better, the company
could still improve, as one source for Ringside News said that the Roster “felt like
animals in the background of a movie scene”, as they were herded around all day.
Both Vince McMahon and WWE fans are waiting eagerly for the day when a real
crowd can see live action once again, and those NXT Superstars probably feel the
same way, albeit for different reasons.
Speaking of NXT, it’s been rumoured for quite some time that Dominik Dijaokiv
will be the next person to be called up to the Main roster, and now the Superstar
has added fuel to the rumour fire online.
After teasing on social media last week that he had his sights set on Apollo Crews’
United States Title, Dijakovic took to twitter this week to share a photo of Seth
Rollins without a caption.
There’s been speculation that when Dijkaovic does get called up, it will to be the
next disciple of the Monday Night Messiah, and whilst this tweet seems to show
that Dijakovic has an interest in Rollins, it could always be that he’s just messing
with the WWE Universe.
As of right now, there’s no word on when Dijakovic will join the RAW roster, and
Rollins hasn’t responded to the tweet yet, but it certainly looks like the two may
be crossing paths in the not too distant future.
From a fresh face in WWE to a true icon in the industry, as The Undertaker has
revealed to CBS Sports that the WWE hasn’t yet finished filming the Last Ride docuseries.
Speaking about the rumours of his retirement coming soon, the former World
Champion explained what he wanted from his last hurrah, saying:
“I just want to be at that level so people can say, ‘Why on earth are you retiring?
Why are you retiring when there is so much left in the tank?
Adding that he feels that this sort of match is still in him, the Deadman went on to
say that the documentary has changed his perspective of things, and he has
envisioned the exit to his career, and now he’s just trying to find it.
Fans can watch the Last Ride docuseries on the WWE Network, and given that the
company is still getting footage, it seems that the Undertaker’s story isn’t over just yet.
Now, last week, the wrestling world celebrated ten years since the Nexus’ debut,
and former leader Wade Barrett had plenty to say about his group.
Speaking to Inside the Ropes, Barrett recalled being given his Nexus Armband, but
also orders from Vince McMahon, who told them to rip everything apart, include
the ring, and attack everyone in sight, from Security and refs, to Justin Roberts.
Barrett and his crew would go on to do just that and create a shocking moment in
WWE history, and given that WWE still owns the Nexus name, you can never
count out a reunion from the iconic group.
One person who knows about running a faction or two is Triple H, who worked
with Ric Flair in Evolution, though things weren’t always easy for the two friends.
During WWE 24’s episode on the Nature Boy, the Game described the time that
Flair was taking too long during his Hall of Fame induction speech, and Vince
McMahon ordered the Game to go on stage and tell Flair to hurry up.
Describing it as the worst moment ever in his career, we certainly wouldn’t have
wanted to be the ones to tell the living legend that he’s going to slowly, but the
Cerebral Assassin certainly rose to the occasion on that fateful night.
And we’re ending today with news from Impact Wrestling, as during the latest
episode, Rhyno teased reuniting with someone he’s had history with
After Rohit Raju tried to goad the man-beast into a partnership, Rhyno said he
already has a partner, and that “he’s got kids”, a reference to Heath Slater, who
teamed with Rhyno in WWE.
Given that Slater was recently released by WWE, and that Impact have teased
former Superstars for their upcoming Slammiversary event, it’s certainly possible
that the inaugural SmackDown Tag Team Champions may be back together in the
not so distant future.
