Official Wrestling News Thread

The latest on the WWE layoffs is that we have heard both the WWE Network and Podcasting divisions have been hit with employees being let go, but we haven't confirmed who or how many from those areas.

Among WWE employees, there has been talk that already 40-50 employees are gone, potentially more.
 
During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock noted that he and Roman Reigns was slated at one point to main event Wrestlemania 39 in Los Angeles.

Dwayne Johnson noted that he, Nick Khan and Vince McMahon all met a year before in Los Angeles and agreed on the idea for the match with the idea that it wasn't going to be the end o something, but the beginning.

Johnson noted that they got close but they "couldn't what that thing was" so they put their pencils down. He noted they had the merger and that it was left open that Wrestlemania was coming to Philadelphia, saying he was open to that show.

He said that the fans deserve something special but also wants to put the locker room in a position where after they have worked their asses they can be part of something that would be a big change or a new era for the business.

Rock said he never thought he'd see Vince McMahon see the company but he's not surprised as Vince was always a big picture guy.
 
We supposed to believe they “couldn’t figure out” the “angle”
Nigga plz! The time has now passed cause he ultimately passed on it himself.
