Not surprisingly, the news of the WWE Network going over 1 million subscribers coupled with the rating from Raw this week has the company feeling good about its decision to stay the course with Roman Reigns.
WrestleMania will still be numbered in the sense that numbers will be used to keep track of the shows but Vince McMahon has apparently decreed that promotional material not feature those numbers, as evidenced by the logos for both WrestleMania 31 and WrestleMania 32. McMahon feels, according to the Observer, that doing so makes the event feel "old."
Seth Rollins vs. Randy Orton is currently on the table for WrestleMania 31.
According to PW Insider, Justin Gabriel asked WWE to release him from his contract because he felt he would never get beyond a certain level and it would do his career more good to find meaningful employment elsewhere.
The word going around is that WWE has yet to reach out to Stone Cold Steve Austin on hosting the new Tough Enough season that will air on USA later this year.
500 thousand people switched off of Raw as soon as the PPV content ended.... you know, when Reign had two segments to close the show? O right, he was still THE DRAW. No, it wasn't the PPV content or people tuning in to see the fallout... nope, let's just continue to bury our fucking heads in the Sand WWE. God, you'd think they'd have suffocated at this point.

I don't know where you got that from but that is EXACTLY what is happening. couldn't have said it better myself. do not let the machine fool you
as far as this report its a fucking joke.
-subs go up because its the rumble and the uk launch-no its because of reigns
-ratings go up because they always go up this time of year on the RTWM , 2nd biggest ppv on free tv 24 hours after it aired, all the fall out controversy, and people stuck at home because of a blizzard- no its because of roman. not to mention the 3rd hour decreased by 500K when diesel jr was advertised for his interviews
vince and his yes men are so delusional they will do anything to twist things as a positive for diesel jr.
But we knew if it was a good rating WWE would say it was thanks to Reign's though, so that's not too shocking. Even though they had two of the biggest matches at the RR on Tv free and had Lesnar, Bryan, Heyman, Ambrose, Rollins on. No its all thanks to Reigns, he's bringing in those people for the Network cause they want to see REign's matches.
I believe this. WWE (well, Vince) has the worst confirmation bias sometimes when it comes to their own beliefs in who's a star and who isn't. Let's forget about that drop in Hour #3 when free PPV matches were airing and Roman Reigns closed the show with Brock.
It'll just be Rollins jobbing to Orton. Orton will probably kick out after a Phoenix Splash at 1. I'd love to see them put on a great technical match on the level of Steamboat-Savage, but if you think anybody on god's green earth is going to show up their Greatest Main Event Ever(tm).. just lolololol. If they think THAT match might come off as just above average, everybody else is going to have a piss-poor squash fest so it looks strong.
network numbers have gone up coz it's just become available in the uk not coz reigns won the rumble, jesus christ it's only been a few days since then lol
Gabriel realized he had no spot once Cesaro started teaming with Kidd. That was probably his only chance of doing something meaningful on the main roster.
Gabriel has been in the WWE for only 5 years. Who does he think he is? Dude, you gotta pay your dues....
Lets look at a almost paraell case: Bryan. Excluding that year he was fired, also 5 years. He has risen to the top, step by step with hard work and dedication.
I mean, Gabriel isnt that good of a entertainer. Kidd has done 6 years and with little ring time, is more entertaining.
Also the story was that he asked to be released, thats his side. Im almost certain it was WWE that released him because there is really notihng.
Watch them sink more and more in their own little bubble. Everything positive from now on will be attributed to reigns :lol
