Official Wrestling News Thread

Changes already made from last nights smackdown:

“Even watching SmackDown tonight, I mean obviously tonight is still, you know, they re-wrote portions of the show and everything like that, but I mean the commentary was more relaxed, there was nobody screaming at the announcers on the headsets.


The New Day was out there. They mentioned Ring of Honor. They mentioned the IWGP Tag Team Titles. Michael Cole was talking about the fans and he actually called them fans, he didn’t say ‘the WWE Universe,’ he said ‘the WWE fans,’ so there were little things on the show that, to me, made the show already feel more organic than it did even a week ago.


Given, you know, Hunter… He was willing to push guys that didn’t have the Vince McMahon look and the Vince McMahon body and the whole nine. He was willing to look at the top stars on the indie scene. So, I am hopeful that we will see more of that and less of this very, very rigid [broadcast style].”
 
Grand opening, grand closing



As it turns out, at least according to a report from PW Torch, that’s because he’s out.

Indeed, the Torch writes that Dupri “rubbed some people the wrong way and wasn’t fitting in” so it was decided weeks ago, by Vince McMahon himself, to go another direction. It’s also noted Dupri was well aware he was out when he worked last week’s show.

What’s not made clear is what the future holds for Dupri on SmackDown or in WWE more generally. He had a successful run in NXT as LA Knight before he was called up for this.

Sooooo is Vince McMahon also done as head creative as well? That nigga gotta go for real

That’s what I heard but I still think he has some say. But I don’t think he’s ever returning to being at tv tapings regularly again
