Let’s just be thankful they didn’t rename him ‘Prince Ali’ you can never be sure with Vince in charge

I wish it wasn't believable but it really is

"Vince McMahon could have just been thinking that his first name was getting in the way of the fans supporting him."

WHY!? Actually, I don't even wanna think why...

[FaLaLaLand]

Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins are reportedly dating.

[Denver]

Asuka has officially been confirmed for the Womens Battle Royal.

I'd be so damn pissed if I was her

[Jordan.]

Gah Nao about to get herself eliminated first

[FaLaLaLand]

Hope we get some NXT/UK ladies again.

Rhea please!

[Denver]

So apparently Dean Ambrose was meant to main event Mania in a Universal title match so I guess he was winning the rumble until he quit

[FaLaLaLand]

I totally forgot he's quitting tbh.

[FaLaLaLand]

according to colohue’s first source, vince mcmahon likes to keep his options open for the superstar shake-up, leaving plans for becky lynch wide open.

“vince always stays quiet around shake-up time. He likes to keep his options open and this means becky can stay on smackdown.”

the second source hints at the idea that mcmahon would prefer to keep becky at smackdown live ahead of their move to fox, but recognizes her need to hold a title.

“if it’s one-on-one, rousey taps and becky goes to raw, or becky’s dead in the water. Vince doesn’t like either of those options. Adding another title as well adds better options.”

[Jordan.]

It just makes no sense to me that Becky would choose to tap out Charlotte and take her title when the majority of her beef is with Ronda

[FaLaLaLand]

WWE announced 29 people who will be in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal match. It is very interesting that they left out some key people. Dean Ambrose for instance is missing from this list as are other fan favorites like Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

So far the participants in the match are:

1. SNL's Colin Jost
2. SNL's Michael Che
3. Braun Strowman
4. Andrade
5. Apollo Crews
6. Titus O’Neil
7. Tyler Breeze
8. Jinder Mahal
9. No Way Jose
10. Bobby Roode
11. Chad Gable
12. Kalisto
13. Gran Metalik
14. Lince Dorado
15. Bo Dallas
16. Curtis Axel
17. Heath Slater
18. Rhyno
19. Viktor
20. Konnor
21. Ali
22. Shelton Benjamin
23. Luke Gallows
24. Karl Anderson
25. Matt Hardy
26. Jeff Hardy
27. Otis
28. Tucker
29. EC3

Poor Braun, Andrade, Mustafa and EC3 man!

If ever there was a time to re-introduce Lars though (assuming he's sorted his troubles out) then this would be it.

Is it wrong also that if I was in charge I could EASILY release about 12 people from that list? Seriously.

[Jordan.]

Andrade and Ali in a pointless battle royal when they could have made the US title a multi man match and greatly improved the quality. Same for Shinsuke and Rusev who I guess will be added.

[Denver]

It pretty much confirms no tag title match with The Hardy Boyz in there as they seemed like the only possible opponents for The Usos

[FaLaLaLand]

Sucks to be a tag team in the WWE rn. Jeez!

[Brother Leon]

Battle Royal has always been the throw in match for people they have nothing going. I can’t argue too much. Outside of the Hardy’s who should be facing the Uso’s In a dream match the Men and Women match are filled with those types.

[Black Dagger]

They're lucky they all get on the show anyway now because of the "if you're not injured you're booked" clause.

A few of them deserve better but I'm not devastated we aren't having a multi man ladder match when MITB is next month.

[FaLaLaLand]

Jim Ross' contract with WWE has officially ended today.

[FaLaLaLand]

Also;

[Black Dagger]

Usos punishment for forfeiting will be one x

[FaLaLaLand]

The WM set construction is well underway, taken from a damn plane!! Hope it's better than the Rumble's plain ass

[Denver]

The women tag match needs to be a ladder match so they can all smack Nia around with ladders

[FaLaLaLand]

Demon Balor is expected to return at Mania.

[FaLaLaLand]

According to the Observer, Mandy Rose was penciled in to win the Fatal 4-Way for the title shot against Asuka at WrestleMania 35 before it was scrapped in favor of putting the title on Charlotte.

Oh...

Their Fastlane match was nothing spesh so is it a real loss? Shoulda been Sonya out of the 4 let's be honest.

[RileyH]

ugh we need a mandy reign
