WWE has come to terms on the release of WWE Superstar Emma.

by McLewis Sun Oct 29, 2017 8:08 pm

Summer Rae and Darren Young were let go as well. Not surprising, but unfortunate, especially for Emma. That one doesn't make as much sense as it should given her last 2 matches with Asuka.

If they were going to let Emma go, make Asuka a monster and just bury her.

The decision is sound, the way it was done is just weird.

That sounds like it could be a great match tbh, hopefully it's close to last year which was easily match of the night.

Sources: The Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast

Former WWE creative writer Kevin Eck recently appeared on The Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast to give his insights from his years behind the scenes. Eck talked to Keller at length about Vince McMahon wanting to turn John Cena heel before eventually changing his mind.

"Vince had agreed to do it, but then he changed his mind and said that we can't do it," Eck said. "This was back around the time when McMahon was really looking at Sheamus to get his push. The question was if we turn John Cena heel then who is he going to work with, who will be the top babyface?"

Names like C.M. Punk were thrown around in the creative meeting, but McMahon settled on Sheamus because of how he connected with fans when he was out of character. But even though Cena warmed up to the idea, he had other ventures outside the ring that put an end to the ideas of him playing a bad guy.

"That was the feeling back then, then we came up with some scenarios, and believe it or not, Cena was on board with it, but right around that time there was a big clothing line for John Cena at K-Mart, and Vince McMahon was like, 'Oh Jesus Christ, he has a deal with KMart, and now we're going to turn him heel?' So, KMart is to blame for Cena not turning heel," Eck said. "During a meeting once Vince had a huge smile on his face, and he tells everyone that I know you've wanted John Cena as a heel for a long time, but we just can't turn him heel and that was the end of that."

Cageside seats

There's also a lot of speculation that WWE rushed into AJ Styles getting a title shot so they could put the title on him and do Styles vs. Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.

Brock vs AJ would have been insane pre Suplex city but i don't know what to think when it's probably gonna last 8 minutes max. Still miles better than Jinder obviously though.

And Smackdown as a whole will probably be a lot better with a champion the audience actually cares about.

Assuming it's not bollocks obviously.
