3) WWE Has Discussed Bringing Back Gronk
Triple H was recently interviewed on the Pardon My Take podcast. During this, Triple H revealed that WWE has discussed a Rob Gronkowski return at Wrestlemania 37.
Here is what Triple H said (via Fightful):
“It’s a possibility. I know it’s been discussed. I’m of the opinion that as the first opportunity with Gronk was happening and we were meeting with him around the Super Bowl, you kind of don’t know what Gronk is going to do until Gronk does what he’s going to do. You can have a lot of conversations but until he actually shows up, I don’t know if it’s going to happen. There have been conversations around that. As always, there’s going to be a lot of celebrity influence.”
My Take:
- This would make sense with the event being in Gronk’s home stadium (Raymond James Stadium is where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play). I could see him showing up for an appearance.
2) Update On The Rumors Of Triple H’s Locker Room Meeting
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, several members of the WWE roster have denied that Triple H said that AEW bullied NXT off Wednesday nights.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
Fightful reached out to several wrestlers and members of the staff, who vehemently denied that Triple H said anything resembling that they were “bullied” off of Wednesday nights as reported. Instead, we were told that Triple H focused heavily on the reasons for the move to Tuesday nights, telling the NXT roster that going on a night after Raw was a good thing for the brand. Triple H said that the move had been in the works for a while, which we’ve been told is true, as USA felt this out as far back as last year. HHH also said that there are a lot of opportunities with the replay being on Peacock, and he hopes that people focus more on the show than the viewership now that the change is happening.
My Take:
- I definitely figured the original rumor was incorrect. I couldn’t see Triple H saying that and it looks like I was right.
