Mrzfn Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 They could pull the old 80s trick and say he's observing from one of the VIP boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadaveri Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I don't think he "not welcome". Heyman didn't go with Brock when he wrestled on that Japan show either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 The Japan show was just a normal international houseshow until Brock decided to work it (IIRC he was going to Japan anyway to visit someone and it was a "might as well get a payday while I'm here" deal), nowhere near the same level as this show.

Flyin' Brian Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Â Is Paul Heyman going?No. Damn, now that's interesting. Wonder if they play that up any on tv if Brock does drop the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Meltzer reported tonight that Heyman is going to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Yeah, I heard that it was basically a scheduling thing where Paul couldnt fly out at the same time as everyone else so it was assumed that he wasnt going when hes actually just catching a later flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 On the Jerry Lawler podcast, they had to remove most of the interview with Jim Cornette, because they read a list of things he could not do in Saudi Arabia. Hearing the flight schedule alone and I think the girls are lucky to not be going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Has it been announced that Mysterio is on the show? He posted a pic on Instagram of himself, an Uso and Shelton Benjamin on a plane. Â He also posted a pic with Mark Henry by the Red Sea. Heres hoping hes in the Rumble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabs Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Henry hasnt been officially announced but he did an interview saying hes in it. Â Theres also going to be a 15 minute intermission for prayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Henry hasnt been officially announced but he did an interview saying hes in it. Â Theres also going to be a 15 minute intermission for prayer. Henry announced to a room full of special needs kids that he's entering the Rumble because of them. They applauded after it was translated. He's going to be in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutenberger Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 What's the chances of keeping the title on Brock and letting him keep it until he's champion at least 435 days? Â Even if he quits shortly after that, WWE could still talk about the reign, and not ignore it like the current one. If he goes on good terms, that is. Â It just really seems like a WWE thing to do, and who else but Brock could fill that role? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 The only stories they can tell anymore are about record reigns and numbers, so sure. Seems totally plausible that they'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 It was uploaded that way. They put in audio from an Jerry Lawler Show episode. which made it funnier. In any event, I am not going to any country where there is a laundry list of things I can't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Supposedly, there will be a one-hour prayer intermission during the GRR.

Al Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 10 year partnership.... Â I wonder how long WWE can stack cards like this until it bites them in the ass. Its geeat short term. But Im the long run people are going to tire of the product, WWE wont be able to sustain interest and there could be a massive drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I wonder what the SLA is? Are there metrics which would cause WWE to fail here or is it just bulletproof for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As for Lesnar's reign, given that Punk's lawsuit against Dr. Chris Amann begins in a few months, I totally expect Vince to have Lesnar retain 435 days by sheer pettiness. He did for Nikki with AJ Lee's record, he'll do it for Punk's record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Also, CM Punk defended it a hell of a lot more, and actually put some effort into his matches, but hey, who's counting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 When you look at defenses, Brocks title has basically become less prestigious than the CMLL Heavyweight Title, which is a crazy thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
