I read earlier that Vince wants Kevin Owens to lose weight or else he will lose his spot. Owens shouldn't be punished for never having subscribed to Vince's steroid regimen.

That's B.S. I guess that could also be applied to Joe, which would also be B.S. Those are two of the best in-ring and all around talents in the company.

Where? Everything I’ve read the past couple weeks are praising how he’s finally getting over as a true heel. And that the 82nd version of the Owens-Sammi feud was on the horizon

Carmella on the mic is like taking a screwdriver in the ear, but then again maybe that’s the point so I’ll give her that. I’ve seen Nia have good matches, granted they were with Bayley and Asuka in NXT though. But I’ve never seen Carmella in a good match ever.

Carmella on a mic is acting like a true heel and I appreciate that. I used to agree with you about Carmella sucking at everything, but the last couple weeks has featured the best Carmella we've ever seen. What she's done in the last couple weeks has been better than anything Nia Jax has done since being related to the Rock.

For the life of me, I can't figure out the appeal of Nia Jaxx.

She's Braun Strowman without the speed, stamina, skill, or charisma.

And it's just now hitting me that Nia has gotten a singles title more quickly than Braun. Nia wrestled her first match in NXT (basically her first match ever) like 3 months before Braun debuted on Raw. She didn't even have her current name yet. She didn't even get televised until months after Braun got called up.

Damn travesty.

I’d say with the money from these new tv deals they’ll be able to afford having two TV sets on the road. And maybe pyro will come back

Live programming is the key for these networks with cord cutting. That’s why FOX is willing to pay a billion for a show that can get 2-3M live viewers each weeks

With all of this money Fox and NBC universal are paying, I wonder if we start seeing special Raw's and Smackdown's that are basically like ppv's.

Haven't seen this posted but...

The Phoenix Police Department this week closed its investigation into unsubstantiated allegations that a professional wrestler sexually assaulted a woman at a Phoenix hotel. Eric Arndt — (better known as Enzo Amore) was being investigated in connection with the alleged Oct. 19 assault at the Clarendon Hotel and Spa after a woman posted the claims on Twitter. She claimed in the January social media postings that Arndt and his friends drugged her and left her alone with Arndt when the assault occurred.

That set off a firestorm, leading the WWE to cut ties with Arndt, saying it had "zero tolerance for matters involving sexual harassment or sexual assault."

Police worked with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office but ultimately closed the case this week, Sgt. Vince Lewis told The Arizona Republic.

No charges were ever filed.

"The investigation was completed to its furthest extent," he said. "This would not preclude the case from reopening should new evidence come to light."

So does WWE bring him back even though he was getting backstage heat before this or does he look to sue WWE for wrongful termination?

Probably depends on wording in his contract or wording in their "standards of behavior" (for lack of better words) clause (assuming they have a blanket clause like this) that they uphold all performers too. It could be that his firing was justified, even if his actions didn't meet criteria for criminal charges and prosecution.

He was fired for not reporting anything to the company. The WWE found out about it when we all did. The WWE has a policy about employees/talent reporting legal matters immediately when they happen.
