Stuff is happening regarding Rusev, all started with the news that he was pulled from the Undertaker match and replace with Jericho like Northstar said, Since then he has changed his Twitter name from Rusev to his real name and posted his email address for 'inquiries', and removed 'WWE Superstar' from his bio.

No word from WWE, but I think we know what's happening here, or it could be him kicking off, he still on their Superstars page on WWE.com.
 
I really don't want to see Rusev leave. I think he is a great talent. HHH time to step up and put your foot down. Rusev to win the GRR and beat Lesner.

Obviously needed to add a stipulation to the GRR but I imagine something like this will happen anyway.
 
WWE say he is still with the company and still apart of the big Battle Royale, he's probably just trolling us.

The whole thing seems rather odd. I saw one theory that it may all be WWE's doing in order to get him even more over. I doubt that's the case, but it also seems plausible.
 


Scott Steiner is still around somehow. Dude's a genius from a highly educated university with no sympy for anyone.

I held back on posting this when it had only been up for about 5 minutes just in case it was a hack and not true however it's been up for 4 hours so I think it's legit.
 
Could be something storyline IMO.

Superstar Shakeup on Raw and Smackdown starts tonight.
 
Apparently Rusev vs. Undertaker is back on now.

:confused:

"After Lana's endorsment"?? Bit strange.
 
He’ll still probably get buried in that match don’t know if it’ll be a squash match like Cenas at wrestlemania.
 
Here is everyone that is now on Raw.

  • Jinder Mahal
  • Liv Morgan
  • Sarah Logan
  • Ruby Riott
  • Kevin Owens
  • Sami Zayn
  • Zack Ryder
  • Tyler Breeze
  • Fandango
  • Natalya
  • Mojo Rawley
  • Dolph Ziggler
  • Drew McIntyre (NXT call-up)
  • Baron Corbin
  • Bobby Roode
  • Mike Kanellis
  • Chad Gable
  • Konnor
  • Viktor
And so far we know The Miz is SmackDown bound plus Rollins is likely since he is IC Champ.
 
Watching Raw tonight, have seen one or two spoilers but not all of it.

Have heard some news regarding the GBB in Saudi, we discussed before that the winner should perhaps get a major title shot like a Universal/WWE title shot at some point, what they will get however is a trophy...just a trophy, how stupid is that?!
 
I'd be surprised if either Hardy or Rollins didn't end up on SD.

Something I did only just realise, all 3 members of 3MB are on raw, could we see an actual dominant reunion?

I hope not.
 
Very interesting read regarding the Hardy title thing, I knew it was significant when he won the US title last night.

Very good Raw, have found the Superstar Shakeup to be a bit underwhelming thus far as no major names/wrestlers have moved, lets see what tonight brings

I'm going to predict that Jeff will be on Smackdown and Rollins remains on Raw.
 
And here are the new SmackDown wrestlers.

  • The Miz
  • Jeff Hardy
  • Sonya Deville
  • Mandy Rose
  • Samoa Joe
  • Big Cass
  • Eric Young
  • Alexander Wolfe
  • Killain Dain
  • Asuka
  • Karl Anderson
  • Luke Gallows
  • Cesaro
  • Sheamus
  • R-Truth
  • Andrade Almas
  • Zelina Vega
I was worried they were going to gut SmackDown's tag division when in reality they just stacked it even more. Raw's tag scene is looking even worse now though, which is saying something since it was already bad.
 
So I was right about both the callups I picked out pre-WrestleMania, but the brands were wrong. Eh, I'll take a win.

Also, Vader's heart surgery went well and is out of the hospital:
 


We lost another huge WWE legend. :(
 
His first reign as the then WWE Champion lasted for eight years and a second reign which lasted almost four years, he was the first true Superstar of Wrestling, and the first Icon of Wrestling.

RIP Bruno.
 
Overall I thought the shakeup was enjoyable, I think Smackdown came out the other side much stronger, they arguably have four of the best in-ring performers in Styles, Nakamura, Joe and Bryan.
 
They've added Bobby Lashley to the IC title ladder match for the Saudi show, so now its Rollins, Miz, Balor, Joe and Lashley in that one.

WWE have come in to some criticism from some quarters over the fact that Female competitors wont be at that event, I don't think they are allowed to compete in Saudi Arabia, the laws they have over there regarding Women are very draconian, they only let Women drive there last year.

Alexa Bliss hasn't been wrestling this week because she had a boob job on Tuesday.
 
So I just heard that apparently the GRR in Saudi Arabia will be six hours long! :indiff:

Brock Lesnar on Raw tonight, his first appearance of his new contract, want to know how much he is being paid for tonight? $127,000!!! And he probably wont do anything as Heyman does the talking, Brock will probably jump on the spot like he usually does!
 
Raw last night was good but nothing really happened, they had a 10 bell toll at the start of the show for Bruno and all Raw stars were on stage with Vince to show respect, they also showed a very good video montage of him.

A 10 women tag match was the main event, probably to make up for the fact they cant be in Saudi Arabia on Friday.

Speaking of that show they mentioned the GRR so many times last night!
 
Just watched Smackdown, some much stuff going through my head WWE-wise, the GGR is this Friday, Backlash is next Sunday, too much going on!!

There is a Kickoff show but no matches confirmed for it yet, Jim Ross will be on the panel for that.

No Idea what time it starts in the UK but I'm off work tomorrow so will definitely watch, looking forward to it. 👍
 
I have tomorrow off so I will will be watching it live as well. It's on during the day here as well so even if it really is a 6+ hour show like it's shaping to be I won't mind much.

Also, the finished setup looks insane. :eek:
 
Will probably watch it on Sunday since I have work on Friday and a car show in the morning/afternoon on Saturday.
