Official statement by the WWE regarding Lesnar's failed test ended up being no punishment for Lesnar for failing a drug test and claimed he wasn't working for the WWE when he got busted.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">WWE statement on Lesnar: &quot;Brock Lesnar has not performed for WWE since WrestleMania and is not scheduled to return until Sunday, August 21.&quot;</p>&mdash; ProWrestling.net (@prowrestlingnet) <a href="https://twitter.com/prowrestlingnet/status/754136423712759808">July 16, 2016</a></blockquote>

On the MMA side, Mark Hunt's pissed a 3rd fight in a row ended with his opponent getting busted for drugs and pretty much wants half of Lesnar's $2.5 million fight purse as compensation or he's leaving the company for good.

Damn, hot week of wrasslin next week.

• Raw and Smackdown new GMs (whatever)
• LIVE Smackdown draft
• Broken Matt Hardy
• NXT
• Cruiserweight Classic
• Lucha Underground
• Battleground feat. Shield Triple Threat main event

I'm pretty stoked for most of that

Brock's violation is just going to make him hotter, unless he cannot compete at SummerSlam because the New York commission refuses to let Brock compete. Orton could easily use that for promo fuel. They could actually create some build to the eventual match they have.

If I was a full timer in WWE, I'd be as pissed as Mark Hunt is.

The WWF recently purchased a shark fishing license on the Great Barrier Reef to prevent anyone else from using it.
This is the same reason why WWE keeps Heath Slater under contract.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, the reason why Lesnar won't be suspended for the failed drug test is due to a clause in the Wellness Policy that only affects full-time wrestlers.

Observer thinks the Summerslam fight of Lesnar vs Orton likely is going to get called off because once the Nevada Commission issues a suspension, New York and any other state with a wrestling commission will not allow him to wrestle till the suspension is over. Could be up to 2 years since its his first offense.

Being speculated the WWE might have known about Lesnar's failure ahead of it being made public which could explain his sudden removal from next week's live Smackdown show.

Really hope he isn't suspended for 2 years. Lesnar is one of the only reasons I still watch main roster stuff.

He'll be able to work some places. It might actually make them think about how they are using him. His soured note with the UFC also means he loses leverage with WWE.

Kind of want Sasha Banks to have her own division on SmackDown. Have Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Paige have their own stories on RAW, but Banks gets her own spotlight on SmackDown with the WWE bringing in a rogues gallery for her.

You can't be suspended from sports entertainment for 2 years. They must mean UFC.

Don't know if it was mentioned in the brand split thread.

But, according to my Yahoo homepage, Daniel Bryan is the Smackdown GM.

If they can't get Brock Lesnar to work SummerSlam, do you think they'll plant seeds for a Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho match at Battleground?

I've got a weird feeling that Beth Phoenix might be returning to the WWE as early as Battleground.

Fuck it, have the Brock/Orton match, then have EVAN BOURNE interfere and beat them both in a impromptu triple threat, because noone gets higher than EVAN BOURNE

Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar as the PEDophiles vs. Seth Rollins & Mark Hunt at SummerSlam. Triple H cashes in his rematch against Dean Ambrose for the WWE Title.

Hahaha I love you Noid.

Maluta needs some work, but that is what NXT is for.

Wonder if that was planned or if he and Kota decided to make something special to help him out.

It would carry over into wrestling since New York and some other states use the Nevada commission as the basis for their wrestling commissions. Like Noid said, it would only cover whenever the WWE was in those states for the suspension.

Add in Nevada and that is 4 states Lesnar wouldn't be able to wrestle in if he gets suspended along with any other states that have similar commissions.

Remember when John Cena was the first person to announce the death of Osama Bin Laden?

Brock will wrestle all of his matches from his compound in Canada.

Problem solved

Daniel Bryan handled the botch quite well. JBL and Cole can learn a thing or two.

I thought WWE proclaimed it was entertainment back in the 80s to avoid dealing with the athletic commissions.

Yeah that's why i'm confused. They gonna tell Peter Dinklage he can't be Tyrion Lannister for 2 seasons cause he tested positive for something?

Peter Dinklage testing positive for HGH would be hilarious.

This is brilliant!

Could see her costing Becky Lynch her match against Natalya just because.

Being rumored at the moment Lesnar's failed drug test failure was due to stuff in his asthma medicine.

Assuming its true, he probably forgot to disclose the medicine to the USADA and/or UFC for the pre-testing routine.

lesnar has asthma? let's steal his lunch money.

They should pair up Big E Big Cass and Big Show and call them BIG

No idea what BIG would stand for though

Really hope this is true.

I thought no one got higher than Rob Van Dam

Alberto E. Rodriguez?

Yep.

not great publicity for Charlotte.....

Money in the Bank 2011 was five years ago today.

Fucking incredible PPV. Possibly the best one since WMX7.

The CM Punk storyline compelled to start watching the product on a regular basis. His Documentary (DVD / Blu-Ray set) is still one of the coolest WWE Home Video release.

Best show I've ever seen live. Nothing will ever live up to it. Marking out and screaming for 3 straight hours along with 16000 others.

I watched the SmackDown MITB ladder match so many times. So many cool spots and the result was a genuine shock. Del Rio was obviously going to win the Raw briefcase, but I didn't think they would shy away from doubling down on heel MITB winners and Barrett, Sheamus, and Cody all felt like safer bets. They were doing nothing with Bryan at the time so when he won I marked out like crazy.

I can imagine, Franky D :y:

I remember texting a friend just saying "tonight we get EVERYTHING" after seeing DB win. Just knew stuff like Christian winning the WHC was gonna happen to go along with the main event. Fuck, even Mark Henry/Big Show was good.

I had a level of optimism about the product after the PPV that I haven't felt anything close to since.

Not too many kids there that night either. It was like their dad said "no, this one's for me" like this was important and shit. So much fun. The energy in the place was indeed electric. So hard to describe if you haven't been totally wrapped up in a wrestling story along with thousands of other adults.

God yes. That show was booked the way the fans wanted it to be, and it was done so well it felt like they finally "got it." ......then it lasted for about 4 weeks. They brought punk back after like 2 weeks and they turned him face and that was that.

Oddly enough, Henry and Show always had great chemistry with one another. Never MOTY candidates or anything like that but they always stayed within themselves and remained aware of their own limitations. They had a few other matches over the following months that were quite good as well.

Was an amazing ppv overall.

Too bad the actual payoff to Punk "leaving" was canned way too quickly. Vince making a WWE title tournament a day later and then Cena getting an interim reign a week later made a lot of the hype and storyline conerns Vince had for the ppv match be moot.

Titus potato'd the shit out of him.

He made it a win.

You'd be surprised just how easy it is to get cut open on that part of the face.

They used to be friends :(

Kevin Owens is amazing! I bet all the interviewers dread whenever they're told they're chatting to Owens.

According to the New York Athletic Comiission, if Lesnar ends up getting a ban from the Nevada Commission, he can still wrestle at Summerslam assuming he can pass a medical exam prior to the event.

Aparently they changed some rules years ago that really limit what they can do for wrestling. No longer can they punish wrestlers themselves but still have the power to punish promotions who disobey their rules.

What a vicious triple team move by that aerial guy, Misutero, and Stevie Richards.

That makes me happy.

The Prime Time Players need to get back together and feud with The Social Outcasts. The singles stuff with Titus and Darren Young is dying a death.

It really is incredibly forced. Titus is almost 40 years old so I'm really not sure why they're trying to salvage a singles run for him.

And as much as I love Bob Backlund, Darren Young is just not a very good worker.

GWC wrestler got knocked out during the match but still got up and finished it! That's what I call dedication.

He could have suffered irreversible brain dam... he's a yard tard? Nevermind. That ship has sailed.

So what happened to keeping all the backyard shit in one thread?

Seems like the mod who was doing it hasn't been around for awhile. They should just all be banned and every message they ever made should be purged. Make TPWW Great Again.

Yes please.

Yeah.

Lesnar apparently failed a second test on the day of his UFC 200 fight.

He fought but Jon Jones didn't and they got popped for the same thing. Interesting.

Think that was mostly because Jones results arriving first from the June tests. Lesnar getting a testing exemption for retired fighters also played a role since it meant his tests could occur later.

Just gonna leave this here :)

Titus and Darren Young both ended up on RAW, so that is some good news for them.

I should really learn to use computers before I make things.

I think that graphic kind of underscores how unbalanced the midcard seems to be between the two rosters.

You go four rows deep on the Raw roster, and you have like The Club, Sheamus, CEsaro, and then you go over to Smackdown and you have the Ascension, Naomi, Lucha Things, and Kane.

Fifth row of Smackdown should probably just be a catering sign.

I guess they'll fill up the void with "wrestlers from the past" as per the trust worthy dirt sheets.
