News Involving RAW Writer Fired, Goldberg vs Lashley, Tag Titles and More!

RAW Lead Writer Fired

It is no secret that RAW’s ratings have been in the toilet for quite some time. It looks like changes are in store for the writing team according to Fightful, as Ryan Callahan, the lead writer for RAW, was fired. Reportedly, the firing had nothing to do with sagging ratings, but taking creative changes too personally and becoming difficult to work with.

Jason’s Take

Being difficult to work with and taking creative changes too personally can lead to low ratings. Well, at least that is what I will tell myself.

Goldberg’s Return Opponent Revealed?

With Goldberg’s return to WWE at their upcoming Saudi Arabia event recently announced, many are wondering who will be facing the returning superstar. Goldberg may have given a bit of a hint as to who it may be via his Twitter account.

Jason’s Take

Not really a match I would be that interested in seeing, but it would be the first time ever that these two could square off. There really isn’t anyone else on the roster that would make sense, unless the company wants to continue to job out Elias.

Daniel Bryan Injury Update

Since losing the World Championship to Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania, there hasn’t been a lot heard from Daniel Bryan. As discussed in previous shuffles, he reportedly has been dealing with some sort of injury. Dave Meltzer recently updated fans on Sunday, and noted that backstage chatter says Bryan is dealing with a concussion. The good news is that Bryan has been cleared to return, and should be on the companies upcoming European tour.

Jason’s Take

With the amount of punishment his brain has taken, I have to wonder if he isn’t going to be wheelchair bound by his 50’s. At some point and time, he will have to make the decision whether or not to walk away. With a beautiful wife and child, he should consider it.

New Tag Champions To Be Crowned on SmackDown Live

With the Hardy Boys relinquishing the tag team titles due to injury, the WWE has a vacancy to fill. According to the Twitter account of WWE, Shane McMahon will crown new champions on this Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown Live.

Jason’s Take

It should be an exciting episode of SmackDown with the crowning of new tag team champions. Who will they make tag champs though? Currently, there are only 4 other teams on the SmackDown Live roster; SmackDown now has Heavy Machinery, The B-Team, Nakamura & Rusev and The Colons.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
