Rumor Roundup: The Plans For The Lana-Rusev Storyline, Vince McMahon’s Reaction To The Lesbian Angle, More

3) Is Harlem Heat vs The Revival Actually Happening?

On this week’s episode of WWE Backstage, Booker T was asked by Renee Young if he is going to have a match against The Revival in 2020. This comes after The Revival confronted Booker on the TLC kickoff show and teased a match between them and Harlem Heat.

Booker said that him and Stevie Ray are going to be discussing it. He also said: “I got one left in me. One. Dawson. Wilder. Don’t get jacked up, sucka!”

My Take:

  • This definitely would make sense since the Royal Rumble is in Houston, which is Booker’s hometown. It looks like this match could actually be happening.

2) Vince McMahon’s Reaction To The Lesbian Angle On RAW

The wedding between Bobby Lashley and Lana closed this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW. This was a wild wedding that saw ex-lovers of both Lana and Lashley come out. We also saw Liv Morgan reveal that she is in love with Lana and more.

According to a report from WrestlingNews.co, Vince McMahon is very happy with how the ending of RAW turned out. Here is an excerpt from their report:

According to a WWE source, Vince McMahon was very happy with how everything played out to end the show. The source told me, “Vince has wanted to do more crazy stories like this but he has to balance things out to satisfy the people at USA [Network] and the sponsors. He got what he wanted this week and the overrun did nice numbers so Vince is in a good mood.”

My Take:

  • The wedding storyline worked from a shock-value perspective. All of the Youtube videos from the segment range from 2 to 5 million views. The question is, will these views translate to more ratings for RAW? We will have to wait and see next week.
