Apparently WWE's big plans for the Women's Tag belts after Mania were for the IIconics to feud with the Bellas over the belts.

Would explain why the Bellas teased several times they'd only return if it was for a tag title feud (and likely a tag title reign) and why Bayley & Sasha's reign was abruptly cut short.

Might also explain why the IIconics title reign has been terrible since WWE never bothered coming up with a real Plan B for them once the Bellas stuff wasn't possible.

From Nikki Bella on a recent episode of the Bellas podcast show:

Quote:

“So Brie and I, we were gonna come back and fight for the tag titles after WrestleMania and we were gonna go against The IIconics for a few months -- it was gonna be a lot of fun, really excited and you know, deep down inside, I kept having this weird feeling that I needed to get an X-ray on my neck, because for a while I wasn’t feeling okay. Brie knows, that in December, after Evolution, I just kept telling her, ‘Brie, I feel off’. Like, my head doesn’t feel right and I just kept feeling off and I even told her, ‘Do you think I’m just super unhealthy?’ But I live a very healthy lifestyle but I couldn’t figure it out.”

Those matches would have been tremendous.

Interesting note: Smackdown is listed as "age 15+" on DVR, so maybe PG is over for real.

Jericho’s Instagram post :(

Shit, when you said that I thought Jericho did something stupid or was it was a mental breakdown or something.

I cant wait for the Shane McMahon and Drew Macintyre vs Roman Reigns match tonight.

I think I'm going to watch Raw with you guys tonight.

She basically wedged her way into his gimmick and was heavily in favour of the saccharine "family man" gig to the point where I think she was more or less responsible for his retirement. I have no idea how true it is or how bad it was but it has been said a lot. I think she was a bit like Buff Bagwell's mum or Diana Hart.

Steamboat should have gotten Snuka to deal with it.

Oh damn I've never herd anything about her. She's the Yoko of rasslin!

Yeah I forgot about that. Was that where he sent the plane tickets back the day before the show or was that Tony Atlas?
"I'm sorry I can't do the show, Bonnie told me I have other plans."

Lol yeah that was Steamboat.

TIL, Booker T had a wardrobe malfunction during the grocery brawl with Austin.

Based on recent advertising, WWE is currently considering the idea of holding a Triple Threat match with 4 people next month for the Smackdown Women's title.

Could mean that Nikki/Alexa are going to win at Extreme Rules and become co-champions Sunday.

I've had a mild bad experience with him and a phenomenal experience with him.

Bad - after his comedy set, we were near the end of the line, dude in front of us peppered him with inane ass questions. He was short, but not impolite by any means. He was tired and that happens.

Phenomenal - we had VIP prior to the show, we were near the front of the line, B dressed up in a Cactus Jill style getup, complete with matching leggings. He LOVED her and gave her a big real hug and all the time she wanted to talk. It was awesome.

WWE trying realllly hard to become WCW.

According to the Observer and Fightful, WWE is currently working on major plans for NXT and their house shows on Saturdays. Main reason is due to them feeling worried over AEW's potential as a competitor.

According to the Observer, WWE has been in recent talks with FS1 to have NXT air on the network in order to directly compete against AEW's weekly show. Fightful hinted that WWE is also working on plans to counter AEW's PPVs on Saturdays with Network specials on those days and likely them leaning a lot more on their partner companies to help out.

Are you going to take that, FDM?

I heard FDM is afraid to stand up for himself. A “coward” if you will. But I will make my own determination based on what he does next.

Getting attacked by her weird ass fanboys but that's nothing shocking lol.

Nah.

She isn't worth going back and forth over with crazy male fan's.

Sure.

Apparently the official reason why Sami Callihan beat Tessa Blanchard at Slamminversary was due to Impact officials thinking fans would turn on Tessa had she won and ruin the company's big plans for her going forward.

Somehow they thought Tessa winning would have been a worse moment and ending for Slamminversary in terms of backlash than had Elgin actually won the belt which was something they did consider doing at one point.
