WWE can organize the return game of Rock at SmackDown 1000

WWE reportedly attempted to secure The Rock for the next week's SmackDown 1000 episode, and the company apparently has a very clear goal: to attempt to bring back "The Great One".

According to Barnburner Fired podcast (h / t Ringside News), "The Rock could also do something that could eventually lead to a match, including Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, perhaps WrestleMania in the 1000th episode of SmackDown." If The Rock can not appear on SmackDown 1000, it can do it in a pre-recorded video.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WWE?

The Rock would like to fight at WrestleMania 35, and he has been linked to potential matches with Elias and Roman Reigns.

In fact, The Rock is the favorite of the first sports bets to win the 2019 Royal Rumble, presumably to organize this dream match with Reigns. It seems obvious that the moment of Rock's return will not be the same. Obviously, the return of The Rock on SmackDown 1000 would be quite logical since the show was named in honor of one of its most famous slogans and that brand blue has been struggling for some time in the service of ratings.

A unique appearance for The Rock could be a great way to display a high score for SmackDown, but the ultimate goal of the WWE should be to bring it back for a long time with the company, which would result in at least one or two important payments. – see the games, which could be a huge draw for the WWE at a time when it is sorely lacking in this department.

Shawn Michaels should fight at WrestleMania 35

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

Shawn Michaels is coming out of retirement for a team match at Crown Jewel, but it may be only the tip of the iceberg.

According to WrestleVotes, "The Heartbreak Kid" should also fight WrestleMania 35, but we do not know who his opponent is:

Michaels is also expected to face The Undertaker at Survivor Series next month.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WWE?

Michaels is back in the ring of Crown Jewel as part of a presumed large contract that should allow him to work even more matches.

According to reports, WWE planned to play up to five games with Michaels, including a future fight with The Undertaker, which seems to be the obvious immediate direction for the two stars. This match, on paper, seems like a big deal, but the quarrel between DX and Brothers of Destruction has not yet upset the needle, leaving much to wonder if Michaels is really a draw.

Michaels has always been disappointing in this regard, but that could possibly change with the right scenario for the Hall of Fame. Perhaps the most anticipated and promising prospects for Michaels would be AJ Styles, who is considered by many to be the greatest performer in the ring since Michaels himself, and Daniel Bryan, who Michaels had a small hand at. 'training. Aside from these fights, there is not a ton of matches for Michaels that makes sense and that fans would accept after he has broken his promise to stay in retirement.

John Cena says he can no longer work on a full-time schedule

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

Asked recently about his future at WWE, John Cena gave a very straightforward answer.

"The Champ" told Adam's Apple (h / t Ringside News) that he was no longer able to work during a full-time schedule but that he would not "leave never WWE: "

Full Disclosure I can not run the full schedule at age 41 as a WWE Superstar. They go there every day and it's a young man's game.

Because of what I have said and done in the past, some people say to themselves, "Oh, you are hypocritical." I am old, I am old. I'm 41 and playing 310 times a year is not the best for my health.

I want to be able to run the streets at 80 instead of hanging out, so I'm at a point in my life where I have to think for a long time. That does not mean I'm leaving WWE – I'll never leave WWE, it's my home, but I do not need to think about my health in general and it's currently the best plan for me.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WWE?

It is obvious that Cena's days like anything that resembles a full-time star are over, as he has worked remarkably few shows in 2018, especially compared to previous years.

In fact, the only remaining issue of Cena announced this year is Crown Jewel on November 2nd. The questions therefore continue to be asked about how much longer he will be fighting. However, given WWE's recent dependence on part-time employees, it's a safe bet that Cena will have at least a handful of bickering and big games every year, even as his rising Hollywood career continues to take off.

The WWE does not have a shooter that looks like Cena, which means that the company will likely rely on him as a part-time attraction, as long as he's ready, willing and able to do it. In recent years, Cena has shown no sign of slowing down, is still one of the best WWE performers in the ring and is able to create an unbeatable quarrel when he has the support of the creative team. As long as this is the case, Cena will have a home at WWE, even if it's there almost never.

Roman Reigns should retain its universal title at Crown Jewel

Credit: WWE.comCredit: WWE.com

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

Do not expect to see a new universal champion crowned at Crown Jewel.

According to Wrestling Observer's Bryan Alvarez (h / t Ringside News), it is "rather positive" that Roman Reigns will successfully defend his title against Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman in Saudi Arabia on November 2nd.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR WWE?

This is consistent with recent reports indicating that Reigns should have a "long reign on the title", possibly at the same time as a feud with rising star Drew McIntyre following Crown Jewel.

Lesnar is essentially back to collect a "seven-digit" payday and does not seem to be part of immediate creative projects, while it would obviously be an important step backwards for him. to become again champion of the universal world. Similarly, WWE had a golden opportunity to make Strowman the champion when he was holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. Although Strowman seems to have established himself as one of the best players, the WWE seems intent on making Reigns the long-haul champion, even if this is done at the expense of the Strowman push.

It seems that Reigns is destined to retain the Universal title until at least WrestleMania 35, where a potential blockbuster match with The Rock is waiting, while the WWE is strongly committed to teasing a dissociation of the shield that would likely result in Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins all compete for the Raw title en route to Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. This means that Reigns is essentially an asset to keep the belt in the foreseeable future, while Lesnar will focus on his expected return to the UFC and that Strowman will soon be moving to some sort of untitled feud.

WHAT'S UP?

  • Raw attracted an average of 2,374 million viewers, a small increase from the average of 2.302 million recorded last week, which was the lowest of the 25-year history of the series.
  • The number of viewers at SmackDown has risen slightly, reaching 2.135 million viewers on average, just over the 2.095 million last week, but at least a step in the right direction.
  • Dean Ambrose's telegraphed heel turn is likely to take place around the Survivor Series, and it's a much needed change to "The Lunatic Fringe".
  • WWE was forced to move Crown Jewel to the King Saud University Stadium because of the construction of the King Fahd International Stadium, which is interesting because the capacity of the new meeting place is only about 25 000 spectators, against 70 000 spectators, which suggests a participation well lower than that of Greatest Royal Rumble. With regard to Saudi Arabia, WWE plans to open another performance center in that country.
  • WWE has announced that Rey Mysterio will return to SmackDown 1000. He has been added to several upcoming live events and, as announced by WWE.com, he will be fighting full time at SmackDown.
  • A large number of NXT stars will be present at Evolution, including Io Shirai, Mia Yim and Candice LeRae, which suggests that they will all have a major role to play in the first all-women's pay-per-view TV show.

  • Kevin Owens suffers from a legitimate knee injury and will have to undergo surgery, which could keep him out of action for up to eight months. The attack that he suffered at the hands of Bobby Lashley's new heel was therefore made to keep him off the television and perhaps turn him on babyface too. He was replaced in the Mixed Match Challenge by Bobby Roode.
  • Sasha Banks would be taking a "mental break" from the WWE, although a contradictory report says she might have to deal with a back injury. Whatever it is, she will probably come back in time for Evolution.
  • We expect Bray Wyatt to return to Raw soon and receive a huge boost as the star of the single, but as always, it's a case of "believe it when you see it.

  • Although the WWE said Super Show-Down had 70,000 spectators present, the actual number was about 62,000.
  • Chris Jericho is expected to work on Bound for Glory's pay-per-view of Impact Wrestling this weekend and could potentially sign a longer contract with the company, which could change the game and impact the industry. .
  • WWE is somewhat disappointed by the fact that Shawn Michaels came out of retirement after being faithful for eight years, but Michaels probably could not let a big bang in the fight against Crown Jewel.
  • Faced with increasing pressure on the WWE for it to cancel Crown Jewel, the company would have a "standby" plan to move all major games of the series to Survivor Series in the event that Crown Jewel would have no place.
