The Official WWE Discussion Thread

Quote:- As seen on Monday’s episode of RAW, the cruiserweight division finally made their debut on the main roster. Brian Kendrick, Gran Metalik, Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander all battled for an opportunity to face TJ Perkins’ for the Cruiserweight Title at WWE Clash of the Champions.

For those that were expecting the same high-flying style of wrestling as they seen on the Cruiserweight Classic will be sadly disappointed. Apparently WWE is going to tone down the division that is seen on Monday’s RAW every week, so that they aren’t doing as many big flips and high spots during their matches.

Quote:- Hulk Hogan and WWE parted ways after Gawker published quotes from Hogan’s sex tape that revealed racial slurs. The company removed a great deal of Hogan footage from the WWE Network after they cut times with him but have slowly been re-adding content.

Since then, it’s been speculated that over time, The Hulkster would some day make his return back to the company. It seems things are starting to improve between the two and it’s possible that WWE is testing the waters to see if now is the right time for Hulk Hogan to return to WWE now that his Gawker drama is behind him.

In an update to our previous report, we have been told that if The Hulkster was to return to the company, it would be sometime around WrestleMania 33 season or at the event itself. The main concern if he did return would be with how sponsorship or the African Community would react to the news. The company fears that they could possibly receive backlash from either one or both. Right now the company believes it’s not worth the risk, however with more time that passes, the chances of backlash on Hogan returning is less likely.

Quote:- Cena will be taking a hiatus from WWE in mid-October to film the second season of American Grit, which is when the first season began filming last year. Cena is expected to be out of action until late December to film the show.

As previously reported, John Cena will be taking time away from WWE to film the upcoming season of American Grit. He is expected to be out of action until late December to film the show.

Cena’s last scheduled date to work is the SmackDown taping on Tuesday, October 11th. Cena is also scheduled to appear at the annual WWE Survivor Series event on November 20th, but is not advertised for any other shows until late December for the Holiday Live Events after Christmas.
