3) Claim That Roman Reigns Does Have Backstage Heat With WWE
According to Konnan on his podcast, Keepin It 100, Roman Reigns does have some heat with WWE management.
Konnan says that he was told this by people in the WWE locker room. Here is what he said:
“I know for a fact because I was told this by people in the dressing room, that he does have heat for missing WrestleMania which to me it’s ridiculous.”
“At the end of the day, you pushed this guy down people’s throats. People didn’t get behind him until he had leukemia. Now that he’s over and he’s a babyface and people stopped booing him, now you want to bury him when you don’t have that many guys that are over? That’s why it’s hard to watch that product…”
My Take:
- It seems petty of WWE management to be mad at Roman Reigns, who is putting his health first. I am definitely on his side in all of this.
2) Update On WWE’s New Trademark, “Def Rebel”
A few days ago, WWE filed for the trademark for “Def Rebel”. This led to speculation about WWE potentially using this for a Superstars’ name.
Arenataping is now reporting that this trademark is actually for WWE’s music group:
Arenataping can confirm that WWE Music Group are set to return to digital music stores and streaming services as soon as next week under a new name.
YouTube metadata has revealed that the trademark filed by WWE on Wednesday is related to the new music group hired by the company in May last year, DJDTP.
My Take:
- I am glad that this is cleared up as I was wondering if WWE was going to attempt to rename a Superstar, “Def Rebel”. I wouldn’t put it past them.
