According to Meltzer, WWE knew before MITB.

[zizzle]

Yep, they knew before MIB and they waited until they set up the triple threat because there is 32 days between PPVs. Roman will be in the triple threat.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

I hope not because building towards a triple threat with two guys makes for horrible TV.

WTF

All a work to preserve the Shield Triple Threat until Wrestlemania.

Can't they just draft Shield onto Smackdown and Cena/Club onto Raw?

“You can’t wrestle” chants turn out to be correct for at least 30 days.

Fans of professional wrestling have once again demonstrated their prescient wisdom by preemptively chanting “You can’t wrestle” at Roman Reigns — just hours before WWE declared Reigns indeed cannot wrestle for at least 30 days.

The fans besieged Reigns with the chant on Monday Night Raw, seemingly aware that Reigns was on the verge of a 30-day suspension (reportedly for revealing Game of Thrones spoilers to Vince McMahon).

Whether Reigns will be able to wrestle following the suspension will be a contentious topic hotly debated between bright-eyed young fans and jaded adult males.

How did the fans know the suspension was coming? Was it a backstage leak, or do wrestling fans have mysterious psychic powers?

Lending credence to the “psychic powers” theory, NXT fans have been known to chant “This is awesome” well before anything awesome actually happens.

[Casciavit]

I wonder how the crowd is going to abuse him when he comes back.

I think Roman Roids is almost a certainty as a chant

The live crowd at Smackdown started chanting "where is Reigns" whenever his image appeared on the titantron

[zizzle]

Well, Roman granted more wishes in 30 days than Cena did in his entire career

Backlash

Moving towards 2 PPVs a month i see. Way to make it feel less special..

Nah it doesn't change anything.

Think about it, you are still going to have a month of build for that PPV because it's exclusive to one show.

The biggest change it does really is that for people who want to watch it all it's arguably far too much content to consume.

[Tomwin Lannister]

You'd have to be next level unemployed to keep up, and that's assuming you don't want to leave your tv alone either.

[Jay29]

Clash of Champions being a RAW exclusive...

what happened to Night of Champions?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

See you there for each one Tom (:

[RealGunner]

Brand exclusive PPV?

Can't wait for more matches like Ziggler-Corbin to dominate PPV

[Tomwin Lannister]

I'll have you know I enjoy being away from my tv, just because I am a special brew dole fiend doesn't mean I am a fat cheese slob too

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

It's going to force me to not watch stuff live tbh, that way i can skip the garbage

[Jay29]

Is Smackdown remaining two hours btw?

Because I foresee difficulties if a two hour show has to put on three hour PPVs.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

As far as i'm aware yeah.

Hope it does tbh, 3 hours is wrestling version of The Big Cheese imo.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Whilst I am in favour of the brand split I don't see how they can come up with enough relevant people for 6 hours of PPV per month, will be so, so piss break filled it's unreal

. Better off to start with 1 PPV with smackdown exclusive and RAW exclusive matches on it until you actually sort your booking out and make some of the current people look like stars.

[zizzle]

well they are bringing in a bunch of old timers to bring in some star power and fill more hours.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Jesus, and when all these old men Benoit away in to the sun set we'll be left with a group of lads who look even worse after losing to some fat dude with a really excessive tan from 4 eras ago.
