Omos v Brock at Mania

Cena scheduled for the March 6 Raw in a few weeks presumably to kick off his Mania program

Getting ahead here but interested where they go post Mania. This Roman/Usos/Owens stuff has basically been going on since last summer. Yeah Cody is involved now and will likely be champion but will they completely blow off this Sami/KO/Bloodline deal at Mania? With Vince it would probably be more rematches and continue on but don't know with Hunter

So looks like Brock v Bray at Mania

If they do Sami/KO v Usos it pretty much has to main event Night 1, right? They have to give Sami a big celebration to close the show. also it was one year ago this week that reports started that Cody was headed to WWE.

Interesting night as Raw takes place in Brooklyn tonight while the Brooklyn Nets will be playing the Knicks at MSG at the same time.

PWI reporting Alexa Bliss is taking a leave of absence from WWE. It is reportedly not injury related.

PWI reporting Jerry Lawler was rushed to the hospital yesterday afternoon with a "medical emergency". No word on his condition. He was just at the Rumble pre show last week.

Former WCW wrestler Charlie Norris has passed away at age 57 according to Cauliflower Alley. Norris got a minor push in 1993 WCW.

Just looking online and he did a virtual signing on Monday so wondering if this was sudden.

This bums me out. He was just recently on Renee Dupree's podcast. He was always super entertaining in interviews. RIP also, Lanny was let go around sometime in 91 or so. When they needed Savage to return to the ring because of firings and injuries one of the demands Randy made was that Lanny be brought back. That's when he started managing the Beverlys.

The men's elimination chamber match this year will be for the US title. Qualifying matches tonight.

Meltzer in his update today says Roman v Sami for the title is the plan for Elimination Chamber

They are going to have to be super careful and really make people want to see Sami/KO v Usos if they aren't doing Sami v Roman

Fightful reporting Men's Rumble will open the show

Fightful reporting AOP and Paul Ellering are likely headed back to WWE

When Batista came back from injury in 06 he was painfully slow in the ring. He got better but it was rough for awhile

I think it was 2004 when they mandated a slower, safer style. The Orton/Edge match at I think Vengeance 04 was used as the model of the new style.

Just awful. Way too young. 38? Just tragic. RIP

Apparently there is another "all hands on deck" meeting at Raw today.

Maybe this was already brought up but tag titles are no longer unified. Usos will defend them separately.

Yeah not sure but from what I remember the cost of live production leads to big losses

Fightful reporting there is a "all hands on deck" meeting scheduled at Smackdown tonight.

Holy shit. I mean this shouldn't be surprising but it still feels surreal. Yeah HHH is def. done. I can't imagine the roster now. Everyone but a few must want out

They will probably take the next few weeks off. The 30th anniversary Raw show is in 2 weeks and is the go home show for the Rumble.
