Rumors are circulating that Lesnar and Jinder Mahal will have a singles match at Survivor Series. IDK what the fucking point would be for this other than to bore the shit out of the audience and possibly get Lesnar booed.

Had a dream last night where Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins were competing in an eating competition hosted by Bray Wyatt, who's inclusion was completely random, and who also immediately disappeared from the dream right after everyone entered. But anyways, before the contest got underway, Roman tried to spout out a few one-liners, only for the audience to respond with dead silence, all except for me, who just said, "... awkward."

But then the eating contest never actually happened, because Seth Rollins got up and left, and he decided to like start stealing people's cars in mass, all the while shouting inappropriate 9/11 jokes and doing that smarmy heel laugh that he does.

So yeah, it was a weird dream, you guys. o.O

Sports Illustrated of all sites had an article on the whole Neville situation.

Basically he was upset with how he was being used and viewed by those backstage. Also, Austin Aries has made more on the independent scene than Neville will in WWE and with less travel.

I understand Neville's desire to leave and make more money for himself, and at the end of the day they're independent contractors so they should have the right to do so, but from a business standpoint it's going to look bad if they just let Neville go to do his own thing. How many others will explore that same option then?

There have also been rumors that some stars that went unnamed have reached out to Cody Rhodes asking him how to go about getting their release, what kind of documents they need etc. It could be an interesting time.

The talk of the wrestling world this past weekend was the medical outbreak in the WWE locker room that forced the company to make major changes to Sunday’s Tables Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has confirmed that Roman Reigns has contracted the mumps, a highly contagious viral disease. Symptoms, which include fever, muscle pain, headache, fatigue, and swelling of the parotid gland, typically appear two weeks after exposure and resolve after seven to ten days.

Reigns, along with anyone else who was infected, will be evaluated next Monday (October 30th) to see if they are fit to return to action.

Reigns will miss tonight’s episode of RAW from Green Bay and there’s a strong possibility he could be missing next week as well. Meltzer also noted that there is a fear that more Superstars could still get affected by the condition.

As noted earlier, Bray Wyatt, JoJo and Bo Dallas are also believed to be battling the same condition. WWE has been getting a lot of praise for their handling of the situation and taking extreme caution to prevent it from spreading further.

Not trying to pull a Harvey Weinstein here, but I was in the shower and was thinking: Miz really has improved and he should have a WWE title run or something. I know the probelm with Miz and a main title reign is it brings back horrible memories of Wrestlemania 27, but that was a long time ago and Miz is a totally different character and he's a hella lot better promo now than then.

While Miz makes the IC title a bigger deal than anyone else has since I'd say Bryan won it at Mania years ago, the guys he works with are Jason Jordan types. To me, the IC title shouldn't be the title that builds up new talent who are basically low card development acts. IMO, the IC title should be the title for main event types who just aren't in the main title picture, so that would be guys like Rollins, Styles, Owens, Orton, etc. Putting those guys into IC/US title feuds gives them matches that mean something and not stupid fucking bullshit like Demon Balor vs Sister Abigail or feuds that eat up time on Raw/SD but come ppv are 10 second squashes like Orton and Rusev.

And so with that thought, I think it's time WWE brought back a bottom tier championship. No, not one for each show, I think that would be overkill. Since we saw Styles at a Raw ppv, its obvious that this brand split is more like a paper cut and not a laceration, so have this bottom level guy defend the title on both shows.

Basically, I say it's time to bring back the European title and make a stipulation that only wrestlers who have been on Raw/SD for less than 2 years are eligible to challenge for the championship and call it something like the WWE Junior Heavyweight Championship. That way the writers have to move these guys on from the title and makes way for other relatively new wrestlers and you leave the US and IC titles on major guys that can raise the status of the title and at times, drop the belt to one of the "New" guys who have clearly demonstrated during their time as Junior Heavyweight Champion that they're a future main event star on the rise and you have them work matches against guys that have fallen off the main event level so they continue to improve.
