On Raw Talk, Cena was teasing that he might have to give in to heelish tendencies to get things done, so this might still be a fun story if he wrestles Nakamura as a heel.

PWInsider is saying the plans for Wrestlemania appears to be Asuka vs Alexa Bliss at Wrestlemania. Not Asuka vs Charlotte. I wouldn't be shocked if they had Asuka run over most of the RAW roster because they'll be moving a bunch of them to Smackdown, and moving a bunch of SD stars to RAW at some point after Wrestlemania.

quote:

Kane is in Las Vegas and will be at tonight's Monday Night Raw taping, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

The former WWE champion has not been seen on WWE TV since late January, where he was decimated by Braun Strowman during a Last Man Standing bout that saw Kane buried under the announcers' table and stage. Kane was taken to the hospital via ambulance after the bout, but according to WWE's storyline, sat up in the emergency room and left the hospital.

Given that he is in town for the taping, it's quite possible WWE will script his return to their storylines tonight.

So who's Charlotte even going to face? I assume the Fastlane match with Riotttt is a one-off, unless the Squad really acquits themselves well.

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Yeah, it's a mess. Neither show has built up a match, presumably because they were still not sure where they wanted to send Asuka.

Raw has the excuse that in kayfabe they've been assuming Asuka would choose Alexa this whole time, so they haven't needed a backup plan and the Nia/Asuka stipulation at least reflects that. But Fastlane should be setting up a Wrestlemania match, not blowing off the Riott Squad stuff.

Whipping up a match is easy enough, but if they're going to do the Rousey match, Asuka/Alexa and Sasha/Bayley it's unlikely a Smackdown title match with 3 weeks of build is making the main card.

Since WWE seems to want to poo poo the bed with all the women's matches, we will get Charlotte vs Carmella at Wrestlemania.

Barrasso isn't a reliable source. He's the dude who claimed that Dolph's contract was 1.5m a year. When no other main eventer but Brock comes close to that level apparently.

tbh that doesn't sound all that impossible to me. Dolph was gonna leave and they threw main eventer money at him to stop him from going somewhere else.

Having said that, this sounds...pretty farfetched.

Dolph is a name at least at the level of Cody when he left and probably higher than that, if he went out on the market, he'd probably get over and he'd probably make money for other people. Something WWE has shown a pretty great aversion to allowing to happen recently, see also: Neville.

I can't speak to the guy's motivations outside WWE because I don't know them but if he left WWE and kept wrestling, I think it's fairly self-evident he'd be successful.
