There are rumors that Solomon Crowe will finally make his WWE NXT TV debut at next month's Takeover event. Crowe working dark matches has become a running joke among the NXT regulars at Full Sail University.

Now it seems that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is falling a bit out of love with the team. According to Daily Wrestling News, Vince told JBL to bury The Ascension on the announce desk when they messed up their campy promo a few weeks back. He has apparently been told to bury them a bit since. Many see this as a bad sign for the team’s future, but WWE is apparently not done with them yet.

It first came about when Sting’s job at WrestleMania 31 was the topic of discussion. Vince McMahon wants the Undertaker to wrestle Sting, but Triple H is in favor of himself wrestling Sting at WrestleMania. This was the first instance that the WWE fans heard of their disagreements. Now, it’s starting to involve other members of the WWE creative staff. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H and Vince McMahon are beginning to act like they are the only people who write the shows. “Word is that some of the WWE writers feel they are once again being left in the dark on certain parts of the booking. Triple H and Vince McMahon have been meeting a lot with just the two of them to discuss creative.” This is becoming a trend lately, because the Observer also reports that McMahon wants to stop pushing the Ascension, but Triple H strongly disagrees. Simultaneously, Triple H is concerned about the long term, while McMahon is focused on the market and money at the current moment. WWE fans always complain about how the WWE doesn’t do long-term booking.

WWE has added Kevin Nash back to Monday's RAW Reunion special from Dallas. Nash was pulled from the event after WWE suspended his Legends deal following the domestic incident with his son in December. As noted, Nash's deal was reinstated this week when the charges were dropped.

Also X-Pac was recently announced to be among the Legends/Past Stars showing up.

Originally Posted by F4W Former WWE stars Vito Lograsso (Big Vito) and Evan Singleton (Adam Mercer in developmental) have filed a class-action “concussion lawsuit” against WWE in the state of Pennsylvania. They are being represented by the same lawyer as former WWE star Billy Jack Haynes, who also has a lawsuit out against WWE. The complaints from Haynes and Lograsso/Singleton appear to be virtually identical except for short paragraphs about the complainants. Singleton’s complaint mentions wrestling WWE Superstar Erick Rowan in developmental as Singleton claims, “After approximately 15 matches, during which he sustained multiple traumas, he suffered a serious head injury during a match with Eric Rowen [sic]. The WWE cleared him to continue wrestling after inadequate rest time and downplayed his injury.” Singleton was apparently out of action for five months after a match against Rowan. He then worked one more match and was released from his developmental deal. Singleton has suffered from a number of severe neurological symptoms and later found out that he had bleeding in the left hemisphere of his brain. Lograsso noted that he “suffers from serious neurological damage, including severe headaches, memory loss, depression and anxiety, as well as deafness.”

Right now the plan is for ROH to book only 2-3 wrestlers from New Japan Pro Wrestling for the Toronto ROH shows in May. Originally, the plan was to bring in the 8 or more wrestlers like last year which was ROH booker Delirious (Hunter Johnston)'s intent but ROH COO Joe Koff is uneasy about spending that level of money in 2015 on New Japan talent. Last year the company barely broke even on the 2 shows. Johnston believes the partnership can be very lucrative in the long-term and has pitched airing the shows as pay-per-views to recoup the money of bringing in an elite crew like in 2014, but that would disrupt the plan to do the Best in the World June pay-per-view. Gilleland doesn't believe it's worth disrupting their PPV calendar which they are just now establishing and taking on more risk.

Other sheet news include rumors of the WWE considering doing another brand split with Bryan to be Smackdown's top star and Reigns/Cena as RAW's.
