The Business of WWE

In my opinion, WWE has two options in terms of how they decide to book the Seth Rollins–The Fiend Bray Wyatt Universal Title match at Hell in a Cell. It depends on who the WWE creative team decides to put over at WrestleMania. Through my lens, the two options are for WWE to either double … Read moreBooking for Rollins vs. The Fiend

To a basic fan, it doesn’t seem like a big deal at all, but after seeing WWE operate with and without Pyro (fireworks), I can tell you it makes a serious difference in the overall production of shows. First of all, when fireworks go off at the beginning of Pay-Per-Views it sets the stage for … Read morePyro Returning

It’s being reported that Shane McMahon will most likely lose to Kevin Owens in their ladder match on SmackDown’s debut episode on FOX on October 4 so WWE can create a plausible scenario where they can write Shane McMahon off TV, at least as an authority figure, for a while. WWE would like to do … Read moreShane Off TV

WWE has the task ahead of them on October 11 and 14 of strategically planning the WWE draft. Vince McMahon amongst others will need to orchestrate which show various superstars are assigned so that it makes sense according to storylines. For example, Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura will need to be kept together on the … Read moreKeeping Couples Together

It has come to light recently that Baron Corbin was WWE’s second choice to win the King of the Ring tournament. It’s not a big deal that my own personal pick Kevin Owens got booted, but it is telling that WWE’s original choice to win the tournament (and my second) was Drew McIntyre, and he … Read moreCorbin Second Option

Some scenarios that would be great for WWE to make happen in connection with SmackDown’s move to FOX are: Brock Lesnar wins the WWE Championship from Kofi Kingston A marquee feud develops for Roman Reigns following Hell in a Cell and looks like it will be a tag team match where he teams with Daniel … Read morePositioning for FOX

Some big changes have taken place on SmackDown Live before their official move to Fox in October. The lead writer for SD Live has stepped down from his role and will take on a less demanding role in terms of travel when he returns from his brief hiatus. This change very well may have taken … Read moreCreative Changes

It has been confirmed that The Fiend will be challenging Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship in a Hell in a Cell match at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view on October 6. This essentially it’s the way the ending to the Rollins/Strowman main event this Sunday at Clash of Champions: Rollins will retain the … Read moreBray vs. Seth at HIAC

John Cena was absolutely right when he stated months ago that WWE can no longer have one top superstar who is viewed as being head and shoulders above the rest. This was obviously the direction the company chose to go in with Cena positioned as the franchise player, being put over by every other top … Read moreCena Era Over

Kacy Catanxaro seems to have arrived at a crossroads, questioning how much she loves sports entertainment and if she sees herself doing this as her career long term. My guess would be that this industry may be one that she loves because she is so naturally gifted, but it may not be one that she … Read moreKacy Finished?

The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California (which will be hosting the Hell in a Cell Pay-Per-View) may have pulled a Paul Heyman and given WWE fans a spoiler by announcing in a tweet that Bray Wyatt will be facing either Seth Rollins or Braun Strowman in a Hell in a Cell match. Personally, I … Read moreThe Fiend Universal Championship Match at HIAC?

There is some irony occurring in terms of the booking of Roman Reigns. WWE has tried so hard for a number of years to get Roman to a point where he is universally excepted by the WWE universe as WWE’s top dog. This is the ironic part though: as soon as WWE stopped trying so … Read moreIrony with Roman
