Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around. Make sure to take rumors with a grain of salt as always.
5) Why Drew McIntyre vs The Big Show Happened
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, there was a specific reason why WWE booked Drew McIntyre vs The Big Show on RAW this week.
Johnson says that the match was designed to put over how strong McIntyre is by beating two of the biggest guys in the company in one night. Here is what Johnson wrote:
The Big Show-Drew McIntyre confrontation that aired on Raw last night was designed to show how strong McIntyre was, overcoming the monstrous Big Show despite being physically spent from fighting and beating Brock Lesnar just “20 Minutes before” Show maneuvered McIntyre into a match. The idea to show McIntyre beating both Lesnar and Show in succession, taking out two of the biggest beasts in the company in one fell swoop.’
My Take:
- This does make sense as I was wondering why WWE just didn’t announce McIntyre vs Big Show as the RAW main event. This way, Drew beat both of them in one night, which makes him look better.
4) Idea Pitched For The Original NXT
Former WWE writer, John Piermarini, took to Twitter to reveal that in 2009, Vince McMahon wanted to do another ‘Brawl For All’.
This time, the tournament would have been done with the original cast of NXT (when it was in the game show format):
My Take:
- My money would have been on Wade Barrett, who was a legitimate bare-knuckle boxer in his day. Still, another ‘Brawl for All’ would have been a bad idea and I am glad that they didn’t pull the trigger.
