Today's News

Emergency Mania meeting:


WWE higher ups have held an emergency creative meeting in the wake of Seth Rollins knee injury. Triple H is adamant about having a match on the card, leading to a suggestion that a planned brand swap for Samoa Joe to have a match vs John Cena at the event may be pulled, so he can be Hunter's opponent instead. That would leave John Cena short of a match, and by a WWE sources own admission, probably unhappy with the alternative plan for him, a mixed tag between himself and Nikki Bella and Miz and Maryse. The angles may start at Elimination Chamber, with an idea that Miz would eliminate Cena to end his recently won title reign, starting a feud between the two couples.



Seth Rollins:


Seth Rollins has reportedly suffered a torn MCL. This would mean a 6-8 week lay off, which could see him back in time for Mania, however, the damage is to his already surgically repaired knee, which may be a mitigating factor in his recovery time.



Boss booked Mania match:


Vince McMahon wants The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns to be on this years WrestleMania card, because he feels Taker's career is rapidly coming to it's conclusion. He sees the match as a passing of the torch, and feels a Reigns win would finally turn the fans onto him, initially as a heel, before he takes over from John Cena as the face that runs the place.



Legend suffers freak accident:


Tommy Dreamer was almost blinded whilst petting one of his dogs. The dog pawed him in the eye and scratched his eyeball. He is in agony and cannot open his eye, but his doctor says his sight was saved by a contact lens, which was split in two but protected from more serious damage.
