Brock Lesnar pulled from WWE WrestleMania Backlash

The former WWE Champion will not be on their next premium live event.

"pulled" is a strong word since he hasn't been on screen since Mania but he was advertised locally

No longer scheduled would be less inflamatory

 

[Swerve]

I'd rather a stip too, if it's another singles match I think they run the risk of repeating too many of the Mania spots but should still be a good one no matter what

Seth needs to get this dub thanks to 50/50 booking.

 

[Swerve]

Rematch is confirmed, I assume Bianca/Sonya too but I don't see it on dot com

Give them about two weeks.

I don't think he will get 50/50 booking.

 

[Swerve]

I don't think he will get 50/50 booking.

I could see some shenanigans happening.

"The other significant news is that Brock Lesnar was pulled from advertising for this show, which is actually very notable. The key in this situation is not that they changed their mind, but Lesnar was actually never booked for the show, only advertised for it. There was never a plan discussed for a match with him. This is a different type of false advertising than WWE usually does, which would be situations where they change their mind, or somebody gets hurt or sick and they know they won’t be there, but they keep it from the public and continue to advertise them. This is spreading things into a new realm, especially because Lesnar is theoretically one of the two biggest drawing cards the company has, and has been positioned as the company’s top babyface."

So your quote says he was never actually booked for the show, yet that link says he was definitely booked

At the prompting of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, The Usos stormed Monday Night Raw to challenge RK-Bro in the hopes of uniting the SmackDown and Raw Tag Team Titles.

After The Usos justified their claim by dispatching The Street Profits and sealing the challenge with a double superkick to Randy Orton, The Viper & The Original Bro crashed SmackDown to accept The Bloodline’s challenge and dish out some retribution in the form of an RKO. RK-Bro would come to crash the party on the ensuing SmackDown, but the blue brand champions took exception with their presence. Orton & Riddle would proceed to lay down the challenge, and the longest-reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions weren't going to run from the fight.

With the Winner Take All Championship Unification Match official for WrestleMania Backlash, can The Bloodline add even more gold to their already vast collection of titles, or will RK-Bro prove they are the top tag team in WWE?

Meltzer is saying Reigns is still set to headline the PPV, guessing Shinsuke gets the short program

 

[Dale]

Makes sense, needs to be on the show given he's essentially occupying 2 matches.

Confirmed on Talking Smack

Whole show just feels kinda “meh”

there’s still 2 weeks to build it up but is Roman/Nakamura interesting? Moss/Corbin?

Even Rousey vs The Queen feels flat.

Matches should be good but it just comes off…flat
