If they don't suspend him at least this increases the chances of Rollins walking away from WM with the belt haha

 

[elcheato]

If Rollins walks out as champ and Reigns is written off TV for a month, then I'll believe it

 

[CameronCrazy06]

As happy as Reigns not winning the championship would make most people, there's no way this is true haha

KILLING A RIDICULOUS ROMAN REIGNS STORY MAKING THE ROUNDS
 
One of the crazier rumors making the way around the Internet over the last 12 hours has been one that originated on Reddit.com where an anonymous user claimed that Brock Lesnar had walked out of the WWE Raw taping on Monday due to Roman Reigns failing a WWE Wellness test and the company deciding not to suspended Reigns.
 
Despite the lack of any sort of credible sourcing, the story picked up steam online via message boards and social media, to the point I woke up to over 150 emails all sending links to the story asking about it.
 
I reached out to WWE today regarding the rumor. I already suspected there was nothing to this (and we usually ignore such rumors), but given the huge play it has gotten via social media, I wanted to give the company a chance to respond to this sea of ridiculousness.
 
WWE's official statement:
"That story is absolutely, 100% untrue."
So, there you have it folks. Paul McCartney isn't dead...and Roman Reigns didn't fail a Wellness test.

 

[elcheato]

How about telling us what the fuck happened with Lesnar then so the rumors don't get picked up? 

 

[Pugz]

well the "it did not happen 100% false" isn't really a strong defense.

 

[Pugz]

idk if i believe it but the story does make sense.

As noted, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was backstage at Mondays RAW but left before the show was over after some sort of dispute with WWE officials.

In an update, Lesnar was backstage when RAW began but left after a business disagreement with Vince McMahon. Apparently the disagreement had to do with their negotiations for Lesnar to sign a new WWE contract.

Theres speculation that the negotiations included Lesnar wanting to fight for UFC while under contract with WWE but even if that speculation is true, that was not a part of this disagreement. The issues from Monday were only related to WWEs offer and the terms of the new deal. The issues also had nothing to do with current or future creative plans.

The situation was not settled as of today but could be settled any time now. Lesnars camp and WWE are at a key impasse right now and neither side wants to back down. Its believed that Lesnar will show up for his remaining WWE dates because skipping them would bring a breach of contract. Lesnar is currently scheduled for the March 9th RAW in Pittsburgh, the March 23rd RAW in Los Angeles, WrestleMania 31 and then RAW the day after WrestleMania.

On a related note, it was reported this week that Lesnar flew to Nashville on his private jet but thats incorrect. Due to a stipulation in his contact, WWE always provides a jet to bring Lesnar from his home to the event he is needed at.

Being apart of the UFC and WWE simultaneously would be great for both companies in my estimation, but as soon as he got injured doing one of the two, the other would blow it all up.

They about to feed Alex Riley to Kevin Owens lol.

Report: WWE Makes Offer To Samoa Joe
 

 
Samoa Joe, who announced his departure from TNA last week, looks to have no issue finding work.
 
The longtime veteran who is scheduled to return to Ring Of Honor for several dates in March, may have a new full-time job on his hands in the near future.
According to a new F4WOnline.com article, WWE has made an offer to Joe to come into the promotion. Not a lot of details are currently known, past the point that the company has made an offer of some kind to the former TNA standout.

 
Probably going to low ball him lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If he does come I really hope they dont just make him into a joke. He's a great wrestler

 

[elcheato]

How can you stress wrestling so much and hate the best wrestler on the roster?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I hate Seth Rollins?

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Lawl

 

[elcheato]

Bryan is clearly superior in the ring :kobe:

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I strongly disagree. Maybe if you're talking pure mat skills

 

[Pugz]

seth, dolph, bryan, ambrose(he doesn't get to show it though). not quite sure who fifth is. obviously that's for the main roster only.

 

[The Guid]

I think Ziggler is tops. And he'd be way more enjoyable if he didn't try so hard.
