#ThankYouDanielBryan - The Official WWE Thread - Part 23

[Onyx]

It’s no secret that WWE has been looking for a top Hispanic singles star to sign. Carlito’s name has came up recently but another name that has been talked about several times in the past few weeks is current AAA Mega Champion Alberto Del Rio (Alberto El Patron).

We don’t know if this means the two sides have had recent talks but there is definitely interest within WWE on bringing Del Rio back. There have been ideas discussed recently that could potentially involve him.

With the second season of Lucha Underground now confirmed, a WWE return for Patron seems unlikely but stranger things have happened.

When's the next PPV and does it look promising?

[Casciavit]

Taker vs Lesnar HIAC
Kane vs Rollins HIAC
Wyatt vs Roman HIAC

[Onyx]

Lesnar/Taker and Rollins/Kane at Hell in a Cell in 2 weeks. Storylines are shit atm imo, but the actual match quality on PPV's is usually decent.

[RealGunner]

hmm none interesting

Cena?

can't watch any PPV live now anyways.

[Casciavit]

He's gonna be written off TV after HIAC. Think he's going to be out until January, so he's probably gonna drop the belt. Dirtsheets saying its gonna be either Ziggler or Big E.

[RealGunner]

Lets hope it's Big E. At least New day can carry it and make it entertaining


Ziggler will ruin all the work which was put into making USA relevant.

[Onyx]

Cena heel turn imo.

F4wonline 11/10/15

While John Cena has taken some time off, due to personal reasons, there are talks backstage that the WWE are looking to slightly repackage his image by either changing his entrance theme or attire all together for when he returns in early December. However, Nikki Bella is still scheduled to appear at live events for the following months.

[RealGunner]

His theme is iconic at this point. But repackaging him would be nice.

If they aren't turning him heel, then might as well let him be a tweener or anti-hero.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Taker vs Lesnar HIAC
Kane vs Rollins HIAC
Wyatt vs Roman HIAC

Are they all actually in HIAC or you just writing that because that's the name of PPV?

[Casciavit]

Taker vs Lesnar HIAC
Kane vs Rollins HIAC
Wyatt vs Roman HIAC

Are they all actually in HIAC or you just writing that because that's the name of PPV?

Nah those 3 are actually taking place inside the cell.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

[Onyx]

Didn't Cena call out the Rock on doing movies and taking breaks etc.

We reported earlier that John Cena will be taking time off from October 26th through mid-December for personal reasons, however that may not exactly be the case.

According to Pro Wrestling author and Fighting Spirit Magazine contributor Scott Keith, a friend in the fitness industry notified him that Cena is actually working on a reality show for the FOX Network and the show is set to broadcast in the spring. The reality show will run approximately 6-8 weeks and tapings kick off on Octber 26th.

Additionally, Cena will also be featured in The Nest with Tina Fey, which is scheduled to be released on December 18th.

[RealGunner]

Aren't you happy he is off screen?

Now RAW can be great again as he won't be burying the GOAT talents on RAW for sometime.

[Onyx]

Nah, would rather he was on RAW than not. He's still Cena after all. Plus most of the guys he beat were scrubs anyway. Punk and Bryan were the only 2 goats who deserved to beat him and they did. After HIAC there's no Lesnar/Taker or Cena. Next few months probably gonna be Rollins/Kane feud.

[RealGunner]

That's what people want though.

Watch the ratings spike now

[Lucifer]

Why are the dragging undertaker Brock feud its getting boring now.

[Onyx]

Purely for ratings. Lesnar/Taker sounds more appealing to sell a PPV over Rollins/Kane.

[silver]

So Cena's returning at the Royal Rumble as a surprise entrance then?

[Onyx]

Del Rio vs Rollins feud. Can't wait ffs.

Multiple sources have now confirmed recent talks between WWE and former WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio (Alberto El Patron). However, a new deal has not been confirmed. We noted earlier that Alberto just pulled out of upcoming wXw indie events overseas. It’s interesting to note that these events are taking place the same weekend that WWE will be in Mexico.

God, the only objective of the US title open challenge is to make Cena look even stronger. Seriously looking back what happened to everyone that fought Cena? Did they get elevated? They just have to make this dude win ever ytime, he beat the fckin world champion three times in a row to compensate for a non clean loss. Seriously, at least when Cena is off TV we will be safe from people just losing to him and end up going nowhere.

The combination of NFL football and baseball playoffs, combined with a less-than-interesting product in recent weeks, saw Raw fall to a new non-holiday low of 3.27 million viewers last night. The only episode of the show since 1997 that did worse was a Christmas Eve show in 2012 that did 3.14 million viewers.

The main culprit was the combination of a Pittsburgh Steelers vs. San Diego Chargers game on ESPN that did 12.18 million viewers, a lower number than football has done the last few weeks, and baseball. TBS aired the Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals against the first half of Raw, which did 5.78 million viewers. They aired the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets against the second half of Raw, which did 3.96 million viewers.

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 3.52 million viewers

9 p.m. 3.25 million viewers

10 p.m. 3.08 million viewers

Adam Rose burying Cesaro on the mic on superstars.

[Onyx]

Reigns needs to be repackaged with a new heel gimmick. It's the only way he has a chance of improving his mic skills. Right now he's got no purpose when he goes out there to cut a promo imo.

There was a negative backstage reaction at Monday's WWE RAW to the lengthy promo that Roman Reigns cut in the ring. There was a feeling that Reigns' should not have been given that much time for a promo.

On a related note, Reigns cut another lengthy promo at last night's SmackDown tapings. Like the promo on RAW in Chicago, Reigns was given the "what?" treatment last night by fans in Cincinnati.
