3) Why Lana Wasn’t On RAW
According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Lana was not on RAW this week because she was shooting a movie role.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Bobby Lashley was backstage but Lana was not. The word making the rounds was that she had booked a film role and was shooting.
My Take:
- I feel like WWE has officially scrapped the Lana, Rusev, and Bobby Lashley storyline that had been going on for months. It had some fun moments but I am not upset that it is ending.
2) WWE Blocking Events From Booking AEW Stars
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is trying to block conventions and other events from booking AEW wrestlers.
Here is what Meltzer had to say:
“There is an event called the Big Event in New York on Saturday and Matt Hardy was booked on the convention. Some WWE guys were booked as well. The convention guys were basically told you cannot book anyone from AEW. That’s one of the rules now that if you book a WWE guy anywhere you know baseball game, autograph signing, Wizard World — that nobody from AEW is allowed. That’s just their rule.”
My Take:
- This definitely doesn’t surprise me. Sucks for the events and conventions but I can see it from WWE’s perspective that AEW is competition and they don’t want to help them out in any way.
