Bully says no:
Bubba Dudley says he felt he had to reject an offer from Impact after they lost Hardyz and Drew McIntyre in 2017. He said they offered him lots of money, but did not bother coming up with a creative angle for him...
''And then they handed me creative for Drew Galloway. Everything they wanted to do with Drew Galloway and then Drew left, went back to WWE and they handed me his creative. I said that you can't just plug me into somebody else's stuff. I go, I was an established character here with an established history and story. We have to re-think this. They weren't willing to re-think anything and I walked away from the money and then I went back to the original company I wanted to be with. I always knew that Ring of Honor was the company that I wanted to be with, I just didn't know if Ring of Honor was willing to dip their toe in the water with an act that went so against what they are all about. Ring of Honor is more about the moves, and the spots, and I am talking about the story part of it. I said that one of the things that the company lacks is the storytelling. I wanted to bring storytelling to Ring of Honor; episodic week-to-week, month-to-month pay-per-views and stories where they can actually have a payoff and have other people benefit from it. I'm not looking to get myself over, and I know that having other people over I am going to get the residual of it and get them over in the process. We worked it out with ROH, and my first night was at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and it has been an amazing experience since."
WWE axe PPV:

Dean Ambrose talks end of WWE career:
"Eight years ago, I walked into this casino. Now I'm cashing in my chips and I'm walking away from the table. I won the game. What I do with the rest of my life from here on out is my business. I answer to no one. This time the 'Million Dollar Man' didn't get what he wanted. Because I can't be bought. So if you excuse us, it's time for us to go do what I want The Shield to be remembered for and that's kicking serious ass."

MITB:
WWE are planning on making the MITB match mean something again. They have reportedly promised to push the winner of this years to the stars, during a talent meeting.
