STD, what the fuck is wrong with you? Do you know how many wresting shows in the past have had zero womens matches on them and how much better off we all were for it?

Why does Michelle McCool's opinion mean anything at all?

Or any woman's opinion, for that matter.

I think Rusev’s attitude around the match probably prompted the change. I wish Taker/Jericho was just a straight match. And Rusev all the best in his future endeavours.

Hopefully Rusev gets another match. They dont have a 4 corners match yet!

I am sure Rusev was going to lose in about 45 seconds.

Yeah, I mean it's probably better for everyone to have Jericho do the job, but I don't understand how Michelle McCool's opinion should have that much of a bearing on anything.

She's like Nikki where on her own, doubt WWE cares about her input but since she's the spouse of Taker, her input carries a bit more weight. Same with the inverse of Ronda's husband getting into a recent incident with Alicia Fox and escaping having any blame in the incident. |

Well, to be fair. We have to commend Travis Browne for holding back the urge of wanting to beat another woman. A black woman at that. It had to be one of the toughest moments of his life.

Rusev is in a class all his own.
He has to be the only talent to have ever been punished for breaking kayfabe AND for keeping kayfabe. |

Maybe they’ve moved him into the Rumble itself so that he can win it?

It's insane that he would get in trouble for that lol. I'm going to assume it's just an "internet rumour" because the notion is so preposterous.

I know it's likely what happened. BUT IT'S SO PREPOSTEROUS that I HAVE to believe it's an internet rumour. lol
At this point he has to want out of his contract. |

rusevs contract must be up soon, after him jobbing out for the last 2 years I did not think he resigned.

Yeah, Rusev has removed references to WWE on his social profiles and replaced it with a film he and Lana are in and Lana is producing.

I always think of AJ Lee getting a tat on the back of her neck with the date she won the Divas championship. You'd think WWE would sell that as "Look at how much WWE means to her" but instead she was openly mocked on the air for it. Then there's the whole Zack Ryder and Daniel Bryan situations. CM Punk for "out popping" dx and all that. It's not as uncommon as thought. |

Rusev has changed his name on his insta account to his real name and put up an gmail address for 'inquiries'...

I will say--Vince doesn't like having people on his t.v. being portrayed as old. But god damn, dude is keeping kayfabe and cutting a heel promo. Fuck.

Aw fuck don't get me started with Rusev. I'm only just finally starting to accept that the WWE never capitalized with Zack Ryder.

It could be that replacing Rusev had nothing to do with any sort of heat, and more "oh, Jericho is available and willing? Let's book him instead since he is a much bigger name"

Jericho was already announced as being in the Greatest Royal Rumble, so it took someone a day to realise that anyway if that was the case. Also doesn't explain dubbing over Rusev Day chants.

No joke on nothing, I could see them booking Ariya Daivari into the Cruiserweight Title match and giving him Hassan's theme just for this show.
