Companies that can hire people who were fans of their products always abuse the hell out of their employees. See also Disney, Activision/Blizzard, the NFL, etc.

Agreed. Anyone who really cares about the work that they do is ripe for exploitation by someone who doesn't.

I thought Rock didn�t want to show up anymore after he did that run-in for Roman and got booed.

iirc his last match was at Mania 32 when he squashed Erick Rowan in six seconds

I don't think he'll want to come back just to eat a pinfall

If Rock turned up for the WM39 main event, took a single spear from Reigns, and then lost in like 10 seconds I'd consider Vince a booking god.

Rock got injured in that Mania main event (the injuries Timby mentioned) and instead of �toughing it out� to go out on RAW and do, presumably, some extra �pass the torch� nonsense with Cena after putting him over in the main event of WrestleMania, he flew back home to talk to a doctor not on the WWE payroll so he could get back to his much better paying and much more enjoyable day job as soon as possible with his health intact.

Paul Heyman rejoins Universal Champion Roman Reigns

At Royal Rumble, Paul Heyman betrayed his client Brock Lesnar when he helped Roman Reigns interfere in The Beast�s match with Bobby Lashley, costing Lesnar the WWE Championship in the process. With the WWE Universe in shock, Heyman then took his leave alongside The Head of the Table.

In the wake of his treachery, Heyman will rejoin Reigns on SmackDown. Find out what happens when The Bloodline reunites once again.

Ronda Rousey to appear on SmackDown, choose who she will challenge at WrestleMania

Fresh off her explosive Royal Rumble Match victory on Saturday, Ronda Rousey dropped the outspoken Raw Women�s Champion Becky Lynch on Monday Night Raw before informing the outraged titleholder that she will be at SmackDown to announce which Women�s Champion she will challenge at WrestleMania 38.

Which championship will The Baddest Woman on the Planet target at WrestleMania?

quote:

The return of Drew McIntyre
After suffering a two-on-one backstage attack from Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss at WWE Day 1, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre made a shocking comeback in last Saturday�s Royal Rumble Match, returning from his severe neck injury months earlier than expected! In addition to sending both Corbin and Moss over the top rope, The Scottish Warrior battled all the way to the end of the high-stakes free-for-all before being the last Superstar eliminated by the victorious Brock Lesnar.

Tonight, McIntyre�s path of destruction resumes when he makes his explosive return to SmackDown

I wonder if the wrestling show will have any wrestling!

A big plan set for tonight's Smackdown
After reporting that Goldberg was set to return to WWE, Fightful has learned that the working plan is for him to appear on tonight's episode of Smackdown.

Flights are getting canceled all over the country, but Fightful confirmed that as of Thursday evening, Goldberg was scheduled to travel to Oklahoma City, the site of WWE Smackdown on February 4. He was also figured in creatively for the program, with the most recent creative being that he'd take on Roman Reigns in Saudi Arabia in a couple of weeks at Elimination Chamber, which is all subject to change.

It's worth noting that Bill Goldberg has been booked to lose 3 consecutive world Title matches over the last two years, but last competed at Crown Jewel, where he beat current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.

We hope to have more on the plans for tonight's Smackdown shortly before the show.

Note on WWE traveling to Saudi Arabia
We've been receiving numerous inquiries after Nia Jax tweeted that "if you really think that all your favorites don�t feel the same as I do, you�re sadly mistaken" regarding vaccination status.

While we won't disclose someone's personal vaccination status, we have confirmed with WWE and numerous staff and talent that in order to travel to Saudi Arabia for their upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber show, vaccination is required. One step beyond that, a booster is also required.

Let the rumors begin on who doesn't travel

I would say she's just trying to defend her own stupidity, but then I remembered that wrestlers in general are really loving dumb, so who knows? Guess we'll find out.

Remember how in the beforetimez we laughed about some interview confronting AJ about flat earth theory and he got all defensive and kept saying �I�m just asking questions.� He said some of what flat earth era were talking about was interesting. That was 2017 right? Dude is definitely a mesh mask wearing antivaxxer that probably still calls it the Fauci Ouchie. They did purge the louder chuds like Drake Wuertz, Scarlett and the Molon Labe gladiator dork so I guess Nia might be sorta right that there might be more. Guess the main thing is whether you shut up and get the shot and booster so the wwe can exploit you for cash. WWE is chud as hell but they are more Tucker Carlson grifter than true believer. Come up with a decent fake and don�t get caught and they will not care� unless Vince�s brainworms decide they want to start caring. Or you sneeze. Or call a steak wrap a burrito. Or remind him of a brother or son. Or it rains.

That's why he didn't start wrestling until Issac Yankem retired.
