3) Backstage Note On Adam Cole

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Adam Cole recently met wit Vince McMahon. This meeting was said to have gone well but Cole still hasn’t decided what he is going to do. WWE writers have been told to come up with storylines for Cole.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“Adam Cole met with Vince McMahon on 8/6 in Tampa before the show. The meeting was said to have gone well and the writing team was told to come up with scenarios for him. As of the latest word, he hadn’t decided on what he was going to do. From a WWE standpoint, there are discussions ongoing and they really want to keep him. There is also the perception issue because with a contract expiring, Cole could leave and start on AEW television in a few weeks and the idea of Punk, Danielson and Cole all starting at the same time could give AEW a huge boost,” 

My Take:

  • I kind of think that Cole is going to move to AEW. Who knows at this point though.

2) Royal Rumble Favorites

According to Oddschecker, there are three Superstars that are the current betting favorites to win the men’s Royal Rumble match (at 10 to 1 odds). Those three Superstars are Big E, Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins.

Becky Lynch is the current betting favorite to win the Women’s Royal Rumble match (at 5 to 1 odds).

My Take:

  • I am not sure about either Big E, Brock, or Seth winning. We will have to wait and see but I think it will be someone different.
