Rumor Roundup: Backstage Notes About Booking Frustration In WWE, Brock Lesnar’s Schedule, More

3) Backstage Note On Cameron Grimes

According to WrestlingNews.co, Vince McMahon wanted a change of presentation for Cameron Grimes. That is why he will be undergoing a makeover in the upcoming weeks.

Here is what the site wrote:

WrestlingNews.co heard a couple of weeks ago that the reason why Grimes was not moved up to Raw or SmackDown is that Vince McMahon wanted to make changes to the “presentation of his character.”

Grimes will be getting a makeover in the coming weeks on NXT television.

My Take:

  • It seems like a good sign for Grimes that Vince is interested in him. He is someone to watch over the next few months.

2) Backstage Note On The WWE PPV Schedule

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is not doing the TLC PPV in December anymore. The company is doing their ‘WWE Day 1’ PPV on January 1st and not having a December PPV.

Here is what Meltzer said:

“The decision was made that — originally the decision was made since they do a pay-per-view every month — that the decision was made that originally they were gonna have a December pay-per-view in Chicago at the All State Arena in mid-December. The feeling is now that doing twelve pay-per-views a year and the December pay-per-view will actually be January 1st in Atlanta. The idea of doing the January 1st rather than doing mid-to-late December.”

My Take:

  • I am fine with this. The December PPV is usually a throwaway anyways.
