Video of the incident here.
Arm-shaking like that is always spooky, like that NFL QB who got nailed hard a couple of weeks back and lay there with his arms spasming for a few
seconds. Things like this always remind me of that final video of the Dynamite Kid where he went down and basically never walked ever again.
Oh my god, they've shot Cabbagehead!

There are at least 5 spots where Sasha could have pinned her when she was all flopping around. Probably +1-2 more where that idiot blocked the
camera
I put that all on Sasha for not just doing it. You can�t blame Paige really since she�s all floppy.
Although if the heels were supposed to win I guess you can blame the two noobs for not running in and faking a tag and then pinning Sasha.
Right?

So the early belief was that Paige suffered a mild stinger as she was at the hotel bar feeling better after the show. She was pulled from the upcoming
house shows as a precaution. Bullet dodged I guess.

There is a RUMORZ that Cena is not going to be involved in a title match at WM but will be involved in "something biggerz".
The speculation on the RUmORz has him facing one of....
Undertaker
Batista
Goldberg
Hulk Hogan
Cena and Batista have already locked up multiple times so meh.
Goldberg is fuck that guy and anything having to do with him.
Hogan would break and die because of oldz.
Undertaker is ????? You're basically undoing the "I retired the deadman" thing that Reigns likes to remind us about, usually within 1-2
sentences from "my yard" reference.

Honestly, the only one I'd be opposed to is Batista, just because it'd be a waste of Big Dave.
Taker, Hogan and Goldberg would all suck, but I also don't care about any of them either and I just accept that there are going to be some
'special attraction' matches at WM that I don't give a shit about. Just make it a four way dance of Hogan-Goldberg-Cena-Taker and
condense it all into one match.

I think the ship has definitely sailed on Taker/Cena at WrestleMania. The streak is over, Taker is sadly past his prime, and is 2-2 in his last four
Mania matches (not to mention Cena has jobbed a lot in recent years and is a part-time performer at this point). It just doesn't have nearly the
big match feel it would have had ten or even five years ago.
Cena/Goldberg I could actually get on board with. Just because it would be a legit, never-been-done-before dream match and I'd be curious to see
what Cena could get out of a 51 year-old Goldberg in a match that actually lasts more than five minutes. I know there wasn't much to
Brock/Goldberg at WrestleMania last year, but that match was way more fun than it had any right to be for a five minute affair.
Cena/Batista could actually be pretty fun from a feud standpoint, though I doubt the match would be anything to write home about (though they have
worked surprisingly well together in the ring before).
And I give Cena/Hogan about a .01% chance of actually happening, but would be totally okay with it from a spectacle/trainwreck perspective.

But what if the rumor is true about Batista only coming back if he can do a "Full Jericho?" That is to say, it's not a Sting/Goldberg
short-term, TV-only, 2-3 match deal. It's Batista getting his wish to work semi-full-time (off-weeks and off-months available as necessary), but
he'll do a full 8-12 month run where he works house shows and everything, because he ACTUALLY LIKES HOUSE SHOWS MORE THAN TV.
Does that change your mind?
I know it affects my thinking on the issue, and Batista leaps to the front of the class of "Cena Big Match Options," ahead of Taker and everybody
else. I also know that sure, they have been frequent dance partners in the past, but not like this. These are two dudes, as old and grizzled as I am
(Batista, in particular, remembers the 80s in a way quite different from me), who have the same deep-down sensibilities that I do, and who will
subvert WWE TV hamfistery to do stuff that amuses THEM on this run.
BOOK IT.
I say this as the guy who said, in December 2016, that Cena vs. Miz would be gold if you worked their wives into it, for a mixed tag. I was right, to
the horror of many card-carrying Smart Fans. I feel good about being right again about John vs. Dave threading the needle.

Same report that has the Cena news also makes it sound like AJ will make it all the way to WM with the belt.
Besides the awesomeness of AJ making his WM entrance with the belt, I hope he gets a solid opponent and story to it. AJ vs Nak seems like the popular
choice but I feel they'd really have to try and build Nakamura's momentum in Jan and February to give it a big match feeling rather than
just a workrate exhibition.

If AJ does make it to WrestleMania with the belt, that will help to right the wrong that was the "AJ to Cena to Bray to Orton to Jinder" WWE title
clusterfuck of 2017.

I think Cena/Taker kinda needs to happen (even if it won�t be as impactful as it would�ve been a few years ago) for one reason: remember all those
�shoot� promo segments Cena and Roman did back over the summer? Well lost in all the �lol look at me, i�m going off script!� nonsense was a remark
that Cena made about Taker. Roman mentioned �ending� the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, and Cena came back with something along the lines of �oh
congratulations, you beat an old man with a bad hip.�
Now that could have just been a throwaway like that will be forgotten, but it seems like something that would be pretty out of character for Mr.
Hustle Loyalty Respect to say about a bonafide legend. If Taker feels like he has one more in him, you could have him show up in January (maybe have
Cena enter the Rumble and Taker shows up just to take him out), cut an �I heard what you said about me� promo, and there�s your match. Taker can even
win, and go out with a victory if this ends up being the one.

Cena-Batista could be okay, but if Dave were to do a full year of Jericho style, I'd want him to fight Brock and Braun and Joe and Roman and AJ
and Owens and Nakamura and...a LOT of people before he got to Cena. I guess I just don't get that excited about John Cena anymore - he's
irrelevant to me. His time is NOT now.

Fantasy booking alert!
What if Miz returns to win The Rumble and then uses his title match against AJ instead of Brock? It would totally fit his character, give The Miz a
true moment that he deserves (Philly would LOVE it), and then open up the Universal Title for RoBoooooo ReBoooooo to challenge or something.
You could easily add Miz as a pure Shane supporter since Daniel Bryan and he are essentially mortal enemies at this point.

I'd sign off on Broiler's booking in a heartbeat, but is Vince really going to build a year-long program around Miz? His last title reign
was mainly used to build luster around Rock/Cena.

Totally accurate but I�d like to hope that they have finally realized that The Miz is the best heel in the business. Hopefully this little time off
will be used as a way to level him up to final boss status. He�d probably be the most popular Rumble winner in a decade so why not?
Bonus note: if Miz goes to Smackdown we�ll get to see what a show with all heels looks like! Haha

Honestly, there's a light year of difference between Miz during his title reign and Miz now. He's just so much better at every facet of
the game and a much more viable champion than he was then. But everyone worthy gets put on the back burner because Brock Lesnar has to hold the belt
for a fucking year *sigh*

Cena and Nikki get married?
Then, at the reception (aka the catering table backstage), Cena and Bryan start bickering, leading to Cena-Bryan (in his in-ring return, even if
it's a one-off) as your WM main event. Special added attraction: the former Bellas start fighting each other on the outside of the ring,
leading to Joey Styles stunning return, simply yelling, "Catfight!!!"

Cena just threw his name into the list of Rumble entrants, so if there is any truth to the RUMORZ it will probably play into Cena's elimination
or non-entry.

That's the thing, though - I know that and you know that, but do the people in charge know that? I'd love for Miz to go full Flair on WWE
(although he needs better Horsemen), but I'll see your Lesnar and raise you a Roman Reigns for who has to go over just because.

A few years back WWE briefly flirted with pairing Ziggler and Miz as a disgruntled duo (or start of something bigger) who were up against a glass
ceiling / couldn't get the support behind them to move "up" to that next level despite past experiences there (both former world title holders
who weren't considered world title contenders).
