II think you just have to send Braun to Smackdown and let him beast over there after Mania


Reasonable enough actually. Have him mow down AJ, Nakamura, etc en route to a WWE title run. Also Jinder for good measure.

Good to see Roman continue to be awesome and have some people actually admit it. Also nice to see people pretend they always support him.

Roman forever

While sending Braun to SD might be a smart move, I don't really know if they'll do it. He's the draw on Raw right now, they're just not giving him the spot of the person drawing. If they send Braun over to SD while Roman is champ and the numbers dip, that's evidence (with a lot of other variables obviously) that Roman isn't as big as they want him to be, so they're just adding something else that they'll have to ignore.

I don't know if there's any way out of this for Braun, other than people getting bored and cooling off on him since he's basically being ignored (other than building him up to make Roman look better) during the most important time of the year. Maybe things change in the coming weeks, but it looks like they decided that people liked him breaking a bass over Elias, so now they're making that the thing for Mania and assume it'll be enough.

The insistence on making Roman the guy no matter what is ruining one of the few perfect storms in recent memory that could have closed out Wrestlemania (can't think of any others aside from 30).

Whoa. I didn't think Brock no-showed, I thought that was a punishment for the picture with Dana White, or that maybe it was setting up a storyline where Braun attacked him off camera (wishful thinking).

That might explain why Roman's promo was so much better than usual. He didn't have to do a lot of acting, I'm guessing he was legitimately pissed and was able to put some genuine emotion behind the script.

Did they say what the plan looks to be for Braun if Brock returns as he should?

Dave didnt know, no

EDIT: He did say that the Elias angle is just to have something for Braun to do in the meantime and is probably not a WM angle

But he actually showed up for that Raw then walked out before the show, leading to that awkward Roman and Heyman promo.

There's a fair chance that his no-show was possibly a work conducted by McMahon and a couple of higher ups earlier that day.

I wonder if this leads to them giving Roman some bullet points instead of an actual script, and they let him speak in a more natural way. Hell, let him say whatever he wants about Brock (within reason with the censors and all).

I'm obviously not a Roman fan, but I don't see him no showing something like that. At least he has enough respect for his contract and the fans.

Raw's final exclusive ppv has passed and here is the latest title history update!

WWE Championship - AJ Styles now sits in 21st with 252 days, just recently passing Undertaker. Next up is Yokozuna and JBL, both at 280 days each!

Universal - Nothing new here, Brock #1 forever with 331 days and counting. Just roughly a month left before he inevitably drops the belt at WrestleMania! In comparison with other world titles in the WWE, only 11 superstars have held a single world title longer than Lesnar's Universal reign.

IC - Miz is now in 2nd place with 557 total days across 8 reigns as Intercontinental Champion. He only needs 63 to pass Pedro Morales for the top.

US - Bobby Roode continuing to climb the list. With 42 days to his name, Roode is tied for 68h place with Carlito, Mr. Kennedy, and Sid Vicious! Next up is Kensuke Sasaki with 44 and Kanyon with 48!

Raw Tag - Today Cesaro passed Seth Rollins to take 11th place, now with 261 days; he only needs 19 days to boot Kane out of the top 10. Sheamus is in 22nd with 198 days, but can enter the top 20 with 12 days (passing Cody Rhodes and Tyson Kidd).

SD Tag - Usos leaving everyone in the dust with 289 days each, 205 more than the next closest competitors!

Raw Women's - Bliss widens the gap between her and second place Charlotte, now with 295 days at the #1 spot.

SD Women's - Charlotte recently passed Becky Lynch and Natalya and is currently in 3rd place with 105 days. Next is Alexa Bliss with 110!

Cruiserweight - Still vacant. New champion to be determined at WrestleMania!

Made Up titles only us/the PWB follow
WWE's The Man: Brock Lesnar
Raw Jobber Champion: Curt Hawkins
SD Jobber Champion: Zack Ryder
Raw Women's Jobber Champion: Sonya Deville
SD Women's Jobber Champion: Vacant
Cruiserweight Jobber Champion: Ariya Daivari

On one hand, I hate that such a talent as Jon may have his career ended with all that potential unrealized. But this is going far worse than even a worst-case scenario. Lesnar is out millions here.


Jon Jones steroid sentencing hearing is not going well

Given that he had already admitted that his management took the tutorials for him I guess he would rather implicate them for forgery than implicate himself for signing a false statement.

Jon Jones has been fined $205,000 (40% of his purse + additional fines) and his licence has been revoked. He'll be able to re-apply after dealing with USADA. Until then other states as well as the UFC will honour this. What suspension he receives from USADA remains to be seen.


Well thats that. I dont think USADA is gonna go light

Reminder that this is not Jones first offense, and after the last suspension he STILL didnt take the online tutorial himself and STILL tried to get away with not declaring supplements he was taking.

The judges flat out told him he needs to change management teams if he wants to get re-licensed because this team he has now are just enablers.

I know that was a joke but I'm really not sure Jon Jones has enough mainstream crossover appeal to be worth WWE's time. Feels a lot more like a guy heavier MMA fans are into and that's it.

Maybe I'm wrong though I thought the same was true of Rousey. Granted it's not confirmed I'm wrong on that and peak Rousey I'd never say that about.

As somebody who doesn't follow MMA, I've definitely heard Jones's name enough to know he's a big deal, atleast. So I'd assume he's fairly mainstream.

I don't really know who he is as a very casual MMA person which is why I was thinking he probably doesn't matter as much as would be necessary for it to be something that matters to WWE. I do know a small handful of MMA fighter names, including Rousey at the time she was actually relevant, but yeah.
