Their love of comic books?

That would have been my only guess. Because I don't know if she's into sports like he is, especially Chicago sports.

Regarding the ongoing contract issues between WWE and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, there are at least a few people in the company that don’t think Lesnar will be back after walking out of RAW last week but the majority don’t believe he would risk a breach of contract and will still work WrestleMania 31.

It’s said that Lesnar isn’t happy with how he’s been merchandised in WWE. While he has a massive downside guarantee, he’s not making what he thought he was on merchandise when he re-signed with the company a few years ago.

Officials reportedly recently gave the green light for new Lesnar t-shirt designs but they were canceled. It’s hard to tell what that means because merchandise for Lesnar is a different situation as he earns a higher royalty rate than most of the talents on the roster so WWE actually makes more on non-Lesnar merchandise. Again, Lesnar is a different situation as he’s the only talent allowed to have sponsors on his gear.

These merchandise issues were reportedly a significant problem before whatever went down at Monday’s RAW.

Long shot prediction:

Samoa Joe will return at the 13th Anniversary Show tomorrow night AFTER the main event and challenge Jay Briscoe for Supercard of Honor IX at WrestleMania 31 Weekend. Rematch from At Our Best 2004 when they were in one of the goriest, most insane Cage Matches ever. THAT would be best for business.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So does Sheamus come back at the Andre Battle Royal or the ladder match?

So does Sheamus come back at the Andre Battle Royal or the ladder match?

I think it would be smarter for him to come back and win after all the hoopla so I'm thinking the Andre BR. Ambrose is most likely winning the IC title.

 

[Hunter Rider]

It would be great if Brock walked out for good and left them with no Mania main event, exactly what WWE deserves.

 

[Kaleb]

Id love for him to no show however Im Guessing if he does show up he phones it in and makes Roman look terrible.

Which will cause Vince to fly into a rage. So much so that it may once and for all cause him to be institutionalized.

 

[Kaleb]

That might be the only reason why I would want to watch WM

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Lesnar walking out on Raw is bringing me some serious deja vu from 11 years ago. He's going to show up with the same emotion he went into WrestleMania 20 with. Yeah, this years' Mania main event is going to turn out to be a bigger disaster than I thought. I don't think he's gonna no show because he wants to get paid and that would be out of the ordinary for him to do.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I think it would be smarter for him to come back and win after all the hoopla so I'm thinking the Andre BR. Ambrose is most likely winning the IC title.

And with rumors that Sheamus is going to be one of the top heels in the company, he would benefit from winning the Andre Battle Royal.

I would not have Ambrose win the IC title if Bryan is in the match.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I would not have Ambrose win the IC title if Bryan is in the match.

It doesn't matter who wins it, the prestige (or lack thereof) of the belt is going to stay the same and the booking is going to be the same for every I-C Title winner since 2010.

The Undercard has the chance to be very good. The IC Title Ladder match is likely going to steal the show, Orton will be handing out a thousand RKO's in his match against Rollins, The Andre Battle Royal could be good if the winner is one of the guys that they plan on pushing (Sheamus).

They are going to have the Rollins cash in to use in their back pocket if the main event underwhelms. You can't close a WM in that fashion and no matter how delirious we'd like to think Vince is, he knows that.

I'm telling y'all, Rollins is going to win out so big this year by default and become the true face of the company. If he cashes in on Reigns he's going to be treated like a savior by the majority of fans and it will be tough for a lot of people to boo him. They will have no choice but to make him a baby face for life. He's going to slip in the back door as the face of the company going forward. It's not gonna be Reigns and certainly not gonna be Bryan.

This is true. Even if Bryan wins the IC Title, he will have non-title feuds with guys like Sheamus, Rollins and Reigns (again).

 

[TheNextNolan22]

This is true. Even if Bryan wins the IC Title, he will have non-title feuds with guys like Sheamus, Rollins and Reigns (again).

And lose to all of them because that's what I-C Champs do.

 

[Dr. Evil]

And if Cena wins the US Title, he won't defend the title at all and when he does, he'll lose the title in a triple threat or fatal four way, just so that the WWE can protect him.

 

[runawayboulder]

I don't think Cena should win the title but that's just me.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Cena shouldn't win the US Title nor having to get his win back over an up and coming guy who could use a WrestleMania victory over a guy that has like 10 of them, but ya know Vince...
