Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Big Feature Missing On WWE On Peacock
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, there will be no pause and rewind function for live WWE broadcasts on Peacock.
Here is what Meltzer said (h/t to Ringside News):
“At first this is going to be like the soccer games. I mean, hopefully this will change in time, but at first there will be no pause. If you’re watching live there will be no pause and no rewind functions. They hope that there be at some point, but at first it won’t be because Peacock doesn’t have it.”
My Take:
- I am sure that this will piss a number of fans off.
4) Vince McMahon Was Adamant About Goldberg Using The Jackhammer
According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select (subscribe here), Goldberg was not comfortable using the Jackhammer during his match against The Fiend.
Sapp says that Vince McMahon was adamant that Goldberg use the Jackhammer in the match and it ended up happening. Here is what Sapp wrote:
With Goldberg appearing on WWE programming, we’ve started to learn some older stories from his previous runs. Goldberg told Fox Sports that his Jackhammer against Undertaker is one he’d take back, and other sources told us that Goldberg actually wasn’t gung-ho on the idea of doing the Jackhammer to Bray Wyatt during their 2020 match as his shoulder was banged up. Another source told us that Bray Wyatt was on board with simply using a spear, and everything seemed agreed upon with both Wyatt and Goldberg. However, Vince McMahon was adamant on Goldberg using the Jackhammer to win the match, which is what would eventually happen. It was a less than impressive finish, but much like the lack of ad libbing in his Drew McIntyre promo upon his return, was another case of Goldberg just doing what the company asked of him from those we spoke with.
My Take:
- I feel like the spear would have been fine as the finish. I also don’t think Goldberg should even still be wrestling but that is a topic for another day.
