WWE in 2026

Man the way they read these results off on ESPN is the most cringe thing I've ever heard. This must be driving away viewers.
I still can't get used to ESPN having them as guests on radio and TV.

Apparently all the women are going after Jade for attacking Chelsea and now Piper. Rhea is claiming it's REAL LIFE.
 
well they were already doing that with Oba!

Hunter wouldn’t ever duplicate his booking plans like that cmon.

Punk spent his political power on getting his wife a title and his weird vampire buddy a job, best he can do right now for Hobbs is a good seat at catering.
 
Oof, he's got to be regretting the move immediately. I never thought he would be World Champ in AEW, but he had a solid role as a midcard big guy, and was prominently featured during most of his run. Hell, he even got a title shot a little over a year ago. Powerslamming Big Show on a car should make the AEW highlight reels forever.
 
How much did Hobbs (or Danhausen for that matter) settle for? I feel like they got some pretty solid lowballs.
 
this is like the fourth time they’ve canned his ass from an creative position.

Can’t believe the best creative the company has now is god damn Undertaker in Mexico since Shawn has to book white guys now.

Well, i can believe it .
 
in other amusing fed news, WWE & Tom Brady have entered a partnership that includes merchandising and marketing leading to the probability that he will be doing something in ring with Logan Paul soon.
 
Jon Alba reporting that Alexandria Williams has been promoted to VP & Lead Writer for Raw.

Vince: (ignoring traffic on a highway in Connecticut): A FUCKING WOMAN?!?
 
On the Road Dogg thing, I think it's mostly funny that he chose to leave rather than them firing him. I don't think anyone can be a central figure in booking one company for a prolonged period without starting to have a negative effect. Even Giant Baba had his down periods and he's the best I can think of.
 
I'm sure this connection has already been made repeatedly but Danhausen's voice and mannerisms remind me of Bentley on the Jeffersons.
 
looking it up and I think this is Road Dogg's third departure from creative. He was let going around WM 35 (2019). Vince fired him in Jan 2022 and Hunter hired him back that summer when Vince lost control. Then this one.

I thought I had remembered him being demoted around 2016/2017 when he was writing Smackdown and it was dreadful

Meltz says he got his annual performance report and was not happy so he left
 
they also made sure on their own produced and distributed “reality show” to show him being an inept clueless dope any time he was asked to do the primary concept of his job title, so in addition to his performance review, they accomplished their intended mission with doggie.
