The Saudi rumor is nuts.

But we have to remember the Saudis are a beacon in this dark world. They let their women drive.

I bet Brock Lesnar is heartbroken about it being debunked, look at the money Saudi's throw at star names

Nick Khan (WWE CEO) has supposedly met with some Disney/ESPN muckety mucks recently. And the talent agency who own UFC are interested too.

NBC are always mentioned as being in the frame too.

Vince will sell to the Daily Wire and Jordan Peterson will be the new Raw GM

There's talk of Tony Khan and his father being interested in purchasing them, too. How crazy would that be? Like Vince purchasing WCW all over again!

I doubt Shad Khan is going to spend half his net worth on it tbh.

It would be with other investors. I doubt this will happen anyway, as insane as it would be.

Pretty sure the main goal is to get free pub for AEW, who will be mentioned in every article about the sale going forward, until something more concrete comes out

I'm starting to wonder if the Saudi thing was someone spreading a rumour to test the waters

Last I read, they're still one of the interested parties.

Shad Khan + Saudi consortium plz for the ultimate troll job

Asuka came back with new makeup for the Royal Rumble. The announcers hyped up her return and made it seem as if the destroyer had returned. And she did, for about 85 seconds before hiding amid the ring corners until she was dumped out by Rhea Ripley.

Rumbles were mildly enjoyable, but I'll be damned if I can remember anything about else about them.

EDIT: Forgot that Nia Jax returned. At least she didn't maim anyone.

The mens rumble was good shit, I fell asleep during the women's rumble and had a strategically timed shit during the Wyatt fiasco

KO and Sami defeat the Usos and are the new champs

Cody loses to Roman after all that build-up

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #11475 on:** April 03, 2023, 05:57:35 AM »

I had an inkling that Roman was winning when Bianca retained, seeing as she does all the media and pr Roman doesn't on his weird schedule a d Cody would have been all over that stuff.

You can find the court document detailing the alleged misconduct out there- it's pretty wild and fucked up. One story is Vince promising that Brock Lesnar could have his way with the woman Vince was nailing and paying hush money to, but Brock was too drunk to show up, so Vince dressed like Brock and met her instead.

Slim Jim pulled out as a sponsor- that's when you really know that shit hit the fan.

Shortly after, Nick Khan sent a memo out saying that Vince is gone from TKO and WWE.

...Although that's what they said in 2022, too.

Himu · « **Reply #11486 on:** January 27, 2024, 01:22:14 AM »

There's reports TKO is going to oust everyone close to Vince to have a fresh start. This could include Trips and Steph.

bork · « **Reply #11487 on:** January 29, 2024, 12:22:06 PM »

Slim Jim came right back after Vince got ousted over the weekend.

However, Brock Lesnar was not at the Rumble. Bron Breakker took his spot.

Stephanie isn't with the company anymore- she quit last year when Vince came back.

There is speculation that they are two of the execs being referred to in the court document that's making the rounds, but it seems doubtful that anything will happen to HHH- even if he and others knew about Vince "staying late" and having these relationships, it's very doubtful that anybody knew about all the shit (literal in this case) that was actually taking place.

HHH declined to comment on this at the Rumble post show press conference, which I think was pretty much expected.

Also this tweet from Ronda Rousey is making waves:

And speaking of the Rumble, Jade made her WWE in-ring debut:

I wouldn't call it Hogan/Andre, but she lifted Nia Jax and threw her out of the ring by herself. The story that they built in the match was that nobody else could do it, even when multiple women tried at the same time.

Jordynne Grace from TNA was also in the match and they made her look pretty good. I thought both Rumbles were kind of boring though. At least the women's one had some good surprise entrants/returns. The men's just had Andrade and that was it.
