Any idea if his mentioning AEW was approved? Is he trying to become CM Punk Part II?


Approved by Vince. I think Sami Zayn is professional enough to carry on his business regardless (given how badly he has been treated relative to his talent level).

Scripted.


Yeah, lol. I can't believe people would actually think Zayn would do that on his own without approval. Especially considering all of Zayn's promos the last month and a half have been basically Vince's words to the WWE Universe. That was definitely scripted, as were all of the planted fans with their "questions" for him.


Of course they where plants, could you imagine what they'd ask him otherwise.

Hey Sami, why aren't you going to Saudi Arabia?
Hey Sami, are you going to join AEW and wrestle Kenny Omega
Hey Sami, what are your thoughts about the falling ratings?

and that's some of the milder stuff that could be asked.

The questions were atrocious. The segment could have potential, but they had those fans ask some of the most asinine questions, and you could tell the last guy almost forgot what to ask.

This new Bray Wyatt character needs to bury and retire The Undertaker for good. I think that'd be a good start for him, but Taker's next match is already planned for Saudi.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

Yeah that's the issue, if you're going to have plants, have it at least be realistic somewhat.

He'll be on RAW next week. Interesting if the gong sounds, usual Taker stuff, then after his promo and kneeling, lightning routine, a voice is heard saying,

"YOWIE WOWIE!"

They had their chance to have Wyatt go over Taker and blew it. Taker is so far done now that beating him no longer has any credibility. Taker's an old, done man. It's embarrassing that he's still even going. I get that he wanted to wash the taste of that godawful Reigns match out of his mouth, but the dude just can't go any more and he needs to hang it up.

True, but when character as hot as Bray squashes a brand like Taker, that's still a major rub.

It would still mean something, especially if they did a casket match and he lost that way, never to be seen again.

Or something similar.

The new Bray Wyatt character is interesting but he still has the stench from his last run of being a jobber to the stars.
I need to see if he's improved in the ring because promos and character was never his weakness. It's like an NBA player
that's a good scorer becoming a better scorer but still being a bad rebounder and bad defensively.

I would have Aleistar Black go over Taker and hopefully bury him once and for all lol

Always thought it should be a buried alive match that ends his career.

And I agree with Scott that it should be Black that ends him. Wyatt has been too ruined and I also don't think he's good enough to carry old man Taker to a decent match. Have Black deliver the Black Mass, Taker falls into the grave, Black buries him and that's that.

According to Paul Heyman, Brock will be cashing in on this upcoming Monday against Seth Rollins.

Man, did anyone check the details of Moxley's interview regarding his match with Brock at 'Mania?

The Revival looked like bad@$$es tonight finally.

Randy Orton dying laughing during the segment between him and HHH was funny. He couldn't make a straight face the entire time after his line about Trips's balls being with Steph. :lol:

I loved the segment. Didn't really add anything in terms of "bad blood" and it came off as, "Oh well they want us to fight then we will. That's a lot of money to turn down."

I think it's perfect for something built for a one off, instead of forcing a rushed storyline.
