Ok, some of these have been reported before on here, but I'm just listing them from one article here:
http://www.cagesideseats.com/2014/8...-lesnar-night-of-champions-dean-ambrose-movie

  • What happened with Dean Ambrose last night was a television write off so he could leave to film Lockdown, the movie he'll be starring in for WWE Studios and Lionsgate. It's expected he'll be back in time for Hell in a Cell and it's also expected he will resume his feud with Seth Rollins.
Cool, we knew about the movie already, but this gives us a return date and he will go after Seth again. What if Seth is champ by then from using the MITB contract? Could Ambrose return to a title hunt?

  • Brock Lesnar is not currently advertised for Night of Champions but it is still expected that he will be working the show. It appears a rematch with John Cena is on that show, but that could change between now and then.
That one just seems like common sense

  • There are some odd rumors circulating that Vince McMahon and Triple H are butting heads over the main event of WrestleMania 31, apparently incorrectly attributed to Dave Meltzer at the Observer. The rumor is that Triple H wants Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns and Vince wants Brock Lesnar vs. The Rock. Take this one with an even bigger grain of salt than normal.
Which would you guys rather see? Brock vs Reigns or the Rock? Either is fine with me really.

  • Fernando of Los Matadores is apparently back out on the road with WWE and ready to get back to work at any time.
Whoopity-doo

  • There are apparently some wrestlers in WWE who are interested in working for New Japan. The word going around is that New Japan is the hot spot where most stateside talent not signed to WWE -- and even some that are -- are hoping to end up.
I figured @Stopspot may have some insight into that one. Heard anything you Japan fan you?

I think I would much rather see Brock v. Reigns.
So this basically guarantees Lesner will keep the title into Wrestlemania?

Good point actually. I didn't even put that together.

If WWE is smart they will get the belt off of Brock and make Brock vs Rock the main event of 31. That is the biggest money making ace they have up their sleeve, no question in anyone's minds. Take your two biggest draws by a mile and see how many PPVs they can sell together with a properly built and promoted match. My guess is they comfortably cruise past 1 million buys closer to 1.5m

Brock vs The Rock would certainly draw more, but from a personal fan point of view, I would much rather see Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan with the championship on the line (not that I expect Lesnar to keep the title for seven straight months, although Figure Four Weekly reported just yesterday that even is Lesnar drops the title by the end of the year, they may have him reclaim it in time to walk into Wrestlemania as champion.) Glad to see that HHH is thinking of building up stars for the future rather than just getting one big pay day that will have no long-term ramifications to it.

It would be fun to see The Rock and Paul Heyman go at it on the mic, but The Rock vs Lesnar in a match in 2015 sounds horrid.

It'll end up being Brock vs Rock. Vince in Rocks corner, HHH in Lesnars corner for control of WWE. That's my prediction.

Some additions to the Ambrose incident from RAW listed on his 'injury update' on WWE.com (I hadn't even seen it happen yet lol) @Shadow

Despite suffering what was deemed to be extensive head and spine trauma after being Curb Stomped through a pile of cinder blocks by Seth Rollins on Raw, Dean Ambrose has not only refused treatment but is reportedly missing after escaping WWE medical personnel altogether.

...

"At the time of bringing him backstage, he was responsive and was refusing transport to a local medical facility for further evaluation," said Amann. "He had removed the straps and surgical collar, said he refused to go and we haven't seen him since."

Nicely done

1) I figured Kane got involved, not only to give Rollins heat but to be Ambrose' first conquest before getting his meathooks on Rollins again.

2)Reigns future isn't that bright. Although his best moneymaking year, ironically, maybe next year. Despite that, Rock is still worth more even than,

3) It's high time. The writing is on the wall. The Empire sorry place to work. It's boring, political and part timers get the sweet deals.

4) Lesnar has introduced his own belt? LOL The Empire.

5) Ambrose is being groomed very well. It's absurd. He and Rollins will be better investments than Reigns will.

Brock Lesnar winning the title was cool and all but once again when a part-timer wins a championship and doesn't defend it then the title reign is null in my view.
