Orton has to be one of the legit best ever to set foot in the ring. His timing is just impeccable and he gets better and better as he gets older.

Even when they turn him heel, folk naturally gravitate back towards cheering him.

Stone Cold confirmed for Mania then. Looks like it’ll just be an appearance, or at the most like that ‘match’ The Rock had against Erick Rowan. Bit of a shame, but guess not too surprising. Don’t see what woukd’ve realistically made Austin change his mind now.

Austin was never going to wrestle. They clearly circulated a rumour that he would to shift tickets. They'll claim now that they never said he would be wrestling a match bur rather 'making an appearance'.

RAW’s in a really weird place, has been for a while. 90% of the Mania focus is on Brock/Roman - which is playing out on SmackDown, meaning you’ve got two guys in the RAW main event fighting it out for the chance to hold a talk show.

Crikey. It's hard to see any way back for Sasha and Naomi after this.

Becky, Nicky ASH, Doudrop and Asuka were the other wrestlers due to be in the main event with them

 

Company narrative twisting here.

Reports coming out that there was no question of safety of opponents raised. That point never entered the conversation.

Sasha and Naomi both went in to push for a tag team championship match at HIAC with Nikki/Doudrop rather than singles matches as they are trying desperately to elevate the championships they hold and the women's tag division in general. They also apparently said that if the pla  remained that they were both going to wrestle Belair and Rousey respectively, then Nikki and Doudrop should at least interfere to cost them and set up a programme down the line for the tag belts. Everything suggested was knocked back so it appears they bounced. 

Sometimes it's a relatively minor issue that acts as a tipping point and it looks like Sasha's was reached.

I’m not a big fan of Sasha, but if they have indeed walked out over creative I’m fully behind them, and wish more would join in. It is the only way the product is going to change.

Hasn't Sasha got a bit of history of this?  I'm sure she walked out post-WM one year because of plans around the tag titles.  She clearly cares an awful lot, but remains to be seen whether her doing it is going to make the blindest bit of difference.  Going by that statement, where they've seemingly pretty much made up shit, seems a long road back.

She and Bayley allegedly threw a strop when they had to drop the belts to the Iiconics. I think that was the same year she then disappeared off TV for a few months and then returned on Smackdown as a heel with the blue hair.

Nick Khan has some grip on the company now with Stephanie taking a leave of absence. He's slowly eating the company away from Vince. He'll be the successor sooner rather than later IMO.
