    Maybe something in the way Heyman said "They will LOSE TO ..."
    They've been slipping in a lot of those double meanings in this storyline lately. That could mean Owens and Zayn get stripped of the titles or have to forfeit them for some reason.

    I also saw how Saudi and Syria very recently resumed relations. Maybe this is a result of that?

    Heh. Now, THAT'S a hometown showcase. Bianca gets black misted before she can even get the mic.

    Giving Waller a talk show with a main eventer is the perfect thing for him to do, especially if he's still sidelined physically.

    Could be some wonkyness with the Raw/Smackdown split too, they’ve yet to address if we’re having some awkward title swap with Bianca and Rhea like Becky/Charlotte years ago or what

    So many people over the years have tried and failed to get over in WWE, when all along the secret is to have entrance music that includes a "Whooa, ooohhhh, oooohhhh, ohhhhh" verse the fans can sing along to.

    WWE flashing the bracket for the inaugural NXT championship bracket. A whole list of "what could've been" and "never was," with a few who broke through.

    - Seth Rollins
    - Jinder Mahal
    - Drew McIntyre
    - Justin Gabriel
    - Michael McGillicutty
    - Leo Kruger
    - Richie Steamboat
    - Bo Dallas

    Probably something to cater to the Saudi culture, but Ali getting an IC shot is a bit of a shock.

    At least it's not Mansoor.

    Finn Balor looking over JD McDonagh -- his legit protege -- in the background. YES.

    Interesting names in the press release and on the image.

    I think I saw where the champs will be fluid and go from show to show -- hence MJF, Orange, FTR and House of Black.

    I'll give it a shot, but it's going to face a tough challenge come fall when college football is back in full swing, not to mention the days it goes up against the WWE premium events.

    If they’re trying to keep Punk’s return a secret, they’re failing miserably.
