BAR-eak up:
Cesaro and Sheamus are splitting up after a long and successful partnership. The Swiss superman is moving to the red brand to counter the changes made the other way, with Andrade and Zelina having their transfers axed, and Aleister Black going with them after only a week as a Raw star.
Fans change name:
After a torrent of mocking and heat filled jibes on social media, WWE have changed the name of the Viking Experience to Viking Raiders. Vince demanded the name be changed when they stepped up last week, but no decent options could be thought up in time for the event. Rejected suggestions included the Berzerkers and the New Berzerkers (Presumably after someone pointed out there had been one before).
They were not the only ones to get a change, Bobby, is now Robert, Roode. He also shaved his face into a moustache that very much resembles the man whose name he shares, Rick Rude.
And Bray Wyatt is now the Firefly, a bizarre twisted kids TV presenter.
Wrestlers in movie:
Mick Foley is joining former World champ David Arquette in a new film.
MITB:
Becky Lynch will put her red title on the line at MITB vs Lacey Evans. There is speculation she will also defend the blue in a separate bout.
Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles for the Universal is also booked.
Injury:
Jeff Hardy reportedly hurt his leg on the lives over the weekend.
WWE target staying with NJPW until he dies:
Kota Ibushi says his newest contract with New Japan has sealed a deal until the day he dies. WWE had hoped to sign him after the CWC, but both members of the planned final refused deals, so they, Ibushi and Zack Sabre, were instead knocked out in the semi's.
WWE end ban:
Becky Lynch's new monicker, Becky Two Belts, has caused WWE to end it's more than 10 year ban on the term 'Belt.'
SD tease:
- Will Roman Reigns be fired this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE?
- Becky Lynch to come face-to-face with Charlotte Flair for the first-time since WrestleMania
- WWE Champion Kofi Kingston to battle Shinsuke Nakamura
Sasha staying home:
The Meltzer claims his WWE source has confirmed to him that Sasha Banks has told the office she plans to sit out the remainder of her contract, and will then leave the promotion.
