Vince wants smackdown treated as the number one brand now. Expect him to strengthen the brand, because he feels a sub-par rating on Syfy would injure WWE’s standing with NBC-U who McMahon is looking to for help in launching the proposed WWE network.
I have received a lot of e-mails concerning R. Truth not being at Raw or smackdown this week, and that’s because he is prohibited from entering Canada due to a prior offense on his criminal record.
More Matt Hardy buzz! The latest now is that he is expected to make his debut on TNA any day now. The problem is WWE might have a 90 day no-compete clause. Although a lot of wrestlers backstage at TNA did not agree with the way Hardy was pushing to get out of WWE. They do like the idea of him being a part of there team.
Triple H’s in ring status is still undetermined. He is doing a house show this week, but don’t expect him in the ring any time soon. WWE is hoping that it is before Royal Rumble though, but Triple H is enjoying not having to wrestle for a while, and heal up his injuries.
MVP met with Vince this week to discuss his role on WWE. MVP has been very upset lately with his lack of a push by WWE management. Not only is it effecting him, it is also effecting the smackdown wrestlers as well. Veterans are not getting pushed as well, but they understand the business right now, MVP isn’t understanding why he is not getting pushed right now. Vince feels MVP history being a former convict is limiting him to good story lines for him right now. Personally, MVP is a much better heel, but Vince doesn’t feel the same way I do. I will keep up with this story for yall.
The latest on the continuing story of the Undertaker opponent at wrestlemania. John Cena? That is the new opponent this week! They are going to make John Cena a heel, and let him face off against the Undertaker. Well, they are hoping John Cena can become a big enough heel to do that though, we shall see. It is worth mentioning though, last night at Brock Lesnar UFC fight, the Undertaker and Brock exchanged words. Could this match lead up to wrestlemania? This would be a dream match for WWE, because this is the match they want to happen, but Brock may not want to jump back into a WWE ring, but I will keep you updated on that situation.
There you have it ladies and gentleman! More news every Sunday right here on my blog, and at 5:25 and 5:40pm on Sunday afternoons on 102 jamz. Peace!
