It was a snarky comment.

We noted two weeks ago that WWE officials would not be putting Daniel Bryan into the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at WrestleMania 31 with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar because Vince McMahon didn't want to go that route again after doing the same thing last year. Vince reportedly held a meeting this past week and changed his mind.

According to The Wrestling Observer, the new idea for the WrestleMania 31 main event is Bryan vs. Reigns vs. Lesnar for the title.

Plans could always change between now and the Fastlane pay-per-view on February 22nd but the current idea is to do a Triple Threat at WrestleMania 31 after Vince made the decision, apparently due to the crowd reactions.

I'll believe it when I see it but yet again why didn't they just let Bryan win the RR if they were going to put him in the main event anyway...

As much as I'd rather see that match, the triple threat match, or even Bryan/Lesnar - I think they've made their beds and should lie in it. If they want to make Reigns a star - now is not the time to back down.

I disagree. That's how you get Diesel Power.

I actually think that WWE think by having Daniel Bryan get screwed over and over again, the fans are more likely to cheer for him.

Seth Rollins may have been hacked tonight. Right as tonight's RAW went on the air, a nude photo of NXT developmental Diva Zahra Schreiber was posted on his social media accounts.

The photo has since been removed. As of this writing, neither Rollins nor Schreiber have posted anything on their social media accounts since the photo was released.

Update: Rollins' fiancee, Leighla Schultz, apparently responded to the photo on her Twitter (@leighlaschultz), writing "Zaharah?" and posting a pair of nude photos of Rollins. That photo has also since been removed.



Also...apparently the nude was on WWE.com at some point.

We noted earlier that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was backstage at last night's RAW in Nashville but not used. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that there was more to the story than Lesnar just not being used.

PWInsider reports that Lesnar flew on his private plane to Nashville for RAW earlier in the day on Monday, so he was there.

According to people backstage at RAW, Lesnar was visibly angry about something and one source claimed he walked out of RAW before it ended.

Word is that something happened between Lesnar and WWE but it was not creative related, but something to do with their business relationship. Vince McMahon acknowledged an issue with Lesnar during a SmackDown production meeting today but did not go into details.

Lesnar has already returned home and is not at SmackDown. We'll keep you updated.

Sounds like a major problem brewing

We got similar issues from Extreme Rules 2012. I don't really buy it.

On the flip side, alleged 60 year old man was seen working out.

Well, maybe I am wrong. Saw on EWB. Not verified but if this is true...this would be something...

"First, Brock Lesnar was not expected to put over Roman Reigns on the microphone nor was he expected to be part of the segment that featured Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman putting Reigns over. Rather, Lesnar was expected to be a part of the main event. Lesnar's walkout occurred in the hour or so following the Bryan-Heyman-Reigns segment. It is this reason why literally nothing of particular note to Reigns occurred in the main event aside from the Bryan tag-in which the commentators quickly put over as a bit of retaliation of what happened pre-Fast Lane now that they're all buddy buddy (Bryan-Reigns).

Daniel Bryan was made aware of the situation before he cut his promo. Before Bryan did the professional thing that was required of him, putting Reigns over, you can clearly see much more intensity in the promo. That was the makings of a very good promo. It was also cut straight from the hip from a guy who feels legitimately robbed of his main event status at Wrestlemania for the chosen one who really fucked up in a pretty big way.

Reigns failed the WWE's drug testing policy. The higher ups in the WWE were made aware of Reigns's failure early Monday morning.

Clearly all involved are very disappointed in Reigns. It has brought back discussion of Jeff Hardy's drug test failure prior to Wrestlemania XXIV where it was highly likely that he was to win his first championship (which was delayed until Armageddon in December). Many feel that Reigns should be forced to forfeit his position at Wrestlemania and take the suspension. However, Vince McMahon is backing "his boy" and made the decision not to suspend him as there is more than 30-days to go before Wrestlemania.

However, given the current situation in the UFC with the steroids controversy, Brock Lesnar is beyond infuriated with that decision. His legitimate fear is that should he choose to return to the UFC, quite likely given the money that Dana is offering, his Wrestlemania main event status against Roman Reigns links him directly to failed drugs tests in the media. It's a guilty by association issue for Brock and a perfectly understandable one.

Lesnar has demanded that Reigns be replaced preferably with Daniel Bryan or John Cena, both of whom he is happy to put over given their popularity. Lesnar does not particularly care if the much smaller Bryan were to defeat him - it's a non-issue due to the known 'scripted' nature of professional wrestling - as it wont effect his UFC reputation. Again, Vince McMahon has said that Reigns would not be replaced in the main event of Wrestlemania. Lesnar walked out."

I really can't blame Brock at all here and if this is true then Reigns is getting preferential treatment that laughs in the face of the Wellness policy. Again, Vince and the WWE are getting what they deserve for backing Reigns.

If it's going to take Brock Lesnar refusing to work with Reigns and walking out in order for us to get Bryan vs. Lesnar....

Well I'm all for it actually.

In all seriousness though this is just about the worst case scenario for the WWE brass. It's one thing to keep pushing him and not wanting to give up when he was at least a poster boy for them. Failing a drug test is just going to make them look even worse especially if they don't plan on having him punished and Lesnar doesn't want to put him over.

Meltzer said it has to do with % of PPV pay for Mania.

Konnan, Court Bauer and MSL recently discussed some of WWE's merchandise practices on MLW Radio. MSL noted that WWE would manipulate merchandise so that CM Punk never outsold John Cena. You can listen to the full episode here, below is what he said (transcribed by Reddit user kingbigguy).

When CM Punk was red hot and started to outsell the John Cena merchandise, I know people that work in the company in the merchandise department, I know people that work the arenas and sell the merchandise, and I can tell you exactly what WWE did: as soon as John Cena started getting outsold by CM Punk, they made 3 additional John Cena designs, they refused to make a second CM Punk design and they started undershipping the CM Punk design on purpose. For every CM Punk shirt they would ship to the arena, they would triple John Cena shirts and they would do 3 John Cena designs. So every 10 shirts in the arena, if 9 are Cena, only one is Punk. Punk is going to sell out right away because they didn't send enough and at the end of the night they're going "Oh John Cena quadrupled Punk's merchandise." Of course he did! Because you've purposely created a situation where it would be impossible for CM Punk to outsell John Cena.

We've told the story on the show before, years ago at Wrestlemania when WWE was struggling. It's Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart in the main event going 60 minutes, people are leaving during the main event, you can check the video tape. People are leaving during the main event of Wrestlemania, and Hall and Nash have both told me that Vince said that night that he would rather have a half full arena cheering for the guy that he says to cheer for than a full arena cheering for whoever they want.

No idea if any of it is true but it wouldn't surprise me
