Even after his next heart attack, Vince just has a picture of Triple H on a monitor assure the audience via the Conan O'Brien lips gag.

It's time....for the MAIN event!
My prediction: HHH announces that the ending to WM due to a run-in was considered in bad taste and that a rematch between Roman vs Cody with Bloodline/Paul banned from ringside. Cody wins then gets beat up by Brock again and demands a title match. He gets it and Brock wins.

The best worst storyline they could do is trying to make the Triple H losing booking again to Vince a kayfabe story as well so I hope they do that.

New cope: vince wanted ever so badly to put cody over but the villainous Ari Emanuel made him swear not to

I don't think the booking was changed. It just felt like a different show than the night before.

(Anyhow my cope is "Cody loves this, actually, he begged HHH and Vince to make him look like a bitch baby. He planted the chicken with a fan weeks ago, he knew it would get over.")

i bet the "plan" right now is to do something to make hhh look good again like booking a good match, but by 7:58pm tomorrow vince will have rewritten it enough times to be hhh doing the same exact promo from monday

I'm kinda imagining that the reason that HHH has to do the same promo over again is because of Fox. Fox wants to think that there's people who are only Smackdown viewers, and so you gotta also give the nothing's changing speech on Smackdown or else you'll have a chunk of their audience still concerned about all the sale news.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

The new WWE owners

“Anything from H.R. to finance to legal to communications production to distribution and marketing,” Shapiro said. “Across every area, you’re going to find cost synergies; you’re going to integrate and ultimately highlight and appoint the best and brightest teams.”

“There’s no question that when Nick (Khan) goes in to renew his domestic deals, having us at the table, with our relationships and our portfolio of assets, will be helpful in the process," said Shapiro.

Cost synergies.

ITS CUT DAY SOON.

It’s not entirely unlikely Reigns could be let go. Cody also could be gone this year, Bray is probably absolutely done.

Lol if they decide to boot Reigns a while after giving him a god push because LINE MUST GO UP!!!

But would Tony take back Cody? Does he even want to go back?

That goes back to my original question that got lost in the memes:

Dango Bango posted:

So if they're merging to form a new company and it's not an actual sale/asset purchase, doesn't that mean all contracts would have to be renegotiated under the new name? (Unless there's language in the contracts that it automatically transfers...)

If that's the case, I can totally see a talent exodus.

I think it'd be pretty funny if this merger leads to the ultimate out of touch boss falling for "The brand is the star" that WWE have been trying to convince themselves of and almost everyone on the roster gets cut except for 2-3 big names and the rest are a bunch of NXT nobodies and opening card wrestlers

I think the new boss is smarter than that but it's still funny to think that we could see Roman Reigns vs Odyssey Jones because everyone else got cut

Even if you don't believe the merger itself is going to cause a bunch of cuts, Vince was already in super cut mode before he resigned and showed no signs of slowing down.

Isn’t the most obvious outcome of the Endeavour deal that the main roster becomes more like current NXT? Seems almost certain that many people who have been there awhile will be gone and if necessary replaced by cheaper and less talented folks.

Yeah the future is probably less than a dozen names like Roman Reigns and then an endless supply of NILs like Tank Ledger they can pay 5 figures for 3 years until their knees are dust
