3) Summerslam Plans Scrapped
The big news broke on Tuesday that Rob Gronkowski (aka Gronk) has been traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Gronk was likely going to wrestle at Summerslam in Boston. Those plans have now been scrapped as the NFL will not likely allow Gronk to wrestle.
My Take:
- I was looking forward to seeing Gronk at Summerslam but I am not surprised that he went back to football. I wish him the best of luck and I am sure that he will still make a bunch of WWE appearances.
2) WWE Star Brought To Smackdown But Not Used
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE brought Jeff Hardy to Smackdown last week but didn’t end up using him.
Here is what Sapp wrote:
– In regards to questions of who WWE brought to Smackdown without using them, it was Jeff Hardy. He was originally supposed to tape content for upcoming episodes of Smackdown, but when the live mandate was brought down, it didn’t happen.
My Take:
- I would be pissed if I was a WWE Superstar who was brought to a show and not used. These are not the weeks that you want to be chilling in catering.
