Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Update On The Rumors Of A Botched Finish On RAW
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the rumor of there being a botched finish on RAW is true. This came during the RAW Tag Team Title match between The New Day & The Hurt Business.
Johnson says that this botch happened because WWE has told their referees to enforce the rules of matches as if they are legitimate. As a result, the referee counted to 10 and had to call off the match (which then led to it being restarted):
One story that has made the rounds the last 48 hours is that the ten count during The Hurt Business vs. New Day on Raw was a legitimate count and that WWE had to scramble during the commercial break to decide how to get the match restarted by the time they came back on the air. The ten count happened, we are told, because there has been a renewed push on enforcing the rules of the matches as if they are legitimate.
My Take:
- I actually like this edict from WWE. I would always hate it when a referee’s count would be at like 8 and then they would just stop counting to avoid the countout. That always took away from the match for me.
4) Brian Kendrick Has A New Role In WWE
According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Brian Kendrick has a new role in WWE. Kendrick is now working as a producer for the NXT brand.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Brian Kendrick of late has been working as a Producer for the WWE NXT brand.
My Take:
- Good for Kendrick. He seems to have a lot of knowledge, so I am sure that he will be an asset to the company.
