(24 Feb 2015, 7:11 pm)Malarkey Just been reading online that The Undertaker will not be returning to WWE Programming until Wrestlemania 31 itself, WWE Creative Geniuses believe this will have fans guessing whether he will show up or not, and Bray Wyatt will carry the Story with a continuation of his Cryptic Promos as he has done in recent weeks.
In other News the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was in Backstage in Nashville for RAW Last Night but didnt appear, he was pulled 30 Minutes before RAW Aired following an Backstage Altercation of some form, but no idea what, could be a contract dispute as he is rumoured to be leaving, could it be WWE are pissed at him because he offered to help train CM Punk for his first UFC Fight, or is he doing an Austin and refusing to Job to Reigns as he doesnt think Reigns deserves to be Champion, much like Austin did with Lesnar back in the early 2000s, hmmm I wonder.

(24 Feb 2015, 7:47 pm)MrFozz Does anyone else think Reigns deserves his shot, I am not too sure, he is a big fella with a good look, but it is still early days in his careerI personally dont think Reigns deserves a shot at the title, what he done since the split of The Shield, absolutely nothing compared to Ambrose/Rollins, tbh I would much rather see Randy Orton face Lesnar at Mania for the Gold, but obviously we probably are never going to see that match occur.
As for Lesnar, is he known to be stroppy, I would hope has not done 'an Austin' as you put it as Lesnar was put into that situation, he should know better...
If Lesnar refuses to do business and does not want to give up the belt, he would be tricky to deal with, because lets face it, not much short of Montreal v2.0 would prize the title from him, there is probably not many on the roster who can beat Lesnar in a shoot, a quick keylock or chokehold from him and your fucked

(24 Feb 2015, 9:03 pm)MrFozz I agree mate, but what has Ambrose really done since The Shield, become a crazy man, Rollins has done more than Reigns/Ambrose put together and put right into one of the top spots, I personally dont think any of the former Shield are top draw just yet...Ambrose is so entertaining and over with the WWE Universe compared to Reigns, Rollins has be tremendous to watch since his Heel Turn and deserves every opportunity at success down the line as a result, starting with cashing Mitb on Reigns if he Wins at Mania, for me Reigns is nothing special, just a jacked guy with a good luck that fits the bill as a future face of WWE which we all know Vinny Mac loves, he isnt great on the Microphone either nor or his Promos good either, in my opinion due to a lack of charisma he a long way to go before becoming the complete package, for me WWE are throwing in the deep end and he will get burned just like Ryback.
I like Randy Orton, and agree he would be a good champ.
Malarkey...What do you think about Trips v Sting at 'Mania???
I personally think it is 10 years too late, I reckon a match of Sting v Undertaker would have been good back then

The thing is with Reigns, irrespective of whether we like him or not, it was pretty obvious he was being groomed for the top spot and would headline Wrestlemania for the torch to be passed to him.
His injury last year, in my opinion, is what really derailed his momentum. Had he not gotten injured, I honestly believe there would be no debate about whether he deserves his title-shot. Since he came back from his injury, WWE's booking of him has been woeful, almost cringeworthy. Combine the two and here you have the reason for why Reigns has looked poor over the last few months.
Its been announced that Samoa Joe will be returning to Ring of Honour.
And in an update on Lesnars RAW Walk Out, several reports which surfaced online today have rumoured he walked out as Roman Reigns apparently failed a Drugs Test and Vince refused to suspend him, WWE have told PW Insider that these rumours are categorically false.

(25 Feb 2015, 9:24 pm)MrFozz Wouldn't it be incredibly stupid for Vince not to suspend Reigns IF has submitted a positive drug test, giving that the WWE Wellness Policy has come under scrutiny at times...It has quite possible whatever Reigns has been prescribed to aid his recovery from an incarcerated hernia may something to do with it, in which Vince would of made been aware a 6 to 7 Months ago when Reigns suffered the Injury, therefore I can see why Vince may of not suspended Reigns if has indeed failed a Drug Test, but then if has been taking whatever for several months then he would of failed several drug tests as WWE Superstars get tested every 30 Days, but then this may not be the case, honestly could be anything, could be something ate, got to remember they are all on a Strict Diet also to remain good physical shape, I would say Lesnar breached his contract for walking out, but what if Vince or HHH told him to go home and cool off before things got more heated, either way whatever has occurred is rather messy.
Do I believe Reigns has failed a drugs test, quite possible, but most likely not, and if he has, could it not be he is being prescribed something. And how much of a bell-end would Vince look if Reigns had tested positive and refused to suspend him, can WWE force the issue on Lesnar, by walking out, surely he has breached his contract

It does not make sense to be honest, especially the timing of it, 4 weeks from Wrestlemania, he has a young family, has a bloody got spot, I just can't think why he would risk that...
If Lesnar is that upset, I wonder if his latest stint will be done and dusted at 'Mania, sure I read somewhere he wants to go back to UFC

First, Brock Lesnar was not expected to put over Roman Reigns on the microphone nor was he expected to be part of the segment that featured Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman putting Reigns over. Rather, Lesnar was expected to be a part of the main event. Lesnar's walkout occurred in the hour or so following the Bryan-Heyman-Reigns segment. It is this reason why literally nothing of particular note to Reigns occurred in the main event aside from the Bryan tag-in which the commentators quickly put over as a bit of retaliation of what happened pre-Fast Lane now that they're all buddy buddy (Bryan-Reigns).
Daniel Bryan was made aware of the situation before he cut his promo. Before Bryan did the professional thing that was required of him, putting Reigns over, you can clearly see much more intensity in the promo. That was the makings of a very good promo. It was also cut straight from the hip from a guy who feels legitimately robbed of his main event status at Wrestlemania for the chosen one who really fucked up in a pretty big way.
Reigns failed the WWE's drug testing policy. The higher ups in the WWE were made aware of Reigns's failure early Monday morning.
Clearly all involved are very disappointed in Reigns. It has brought back discussion of Jeff Hardy's drug test failure prior to Wrestlemania XXIV where it was highly likely that he was to win his first championship (which was delayed until Armageddon in December). Many feel that Reigns should be forced to forfeit his position at Wrestlemania and take the suspension. However, Vince McMahon is backing "his boy" and made the decision not to suspend him as there is more than 30-days to go before Wrestlemania.
However, given the current situation in the UFC with the steroids controversy, Brock Lesnar is beyond infuriated with that decision. His legitimate fear is that should he choose to return to the UFC, quite likely given the money that Dana is offering, his Wrestlemania main event status against Roman Reigns links him directly to failed drugs tests in the media. It's a guilty by association issue for Brock and a perfectly understandable one.
Lesnar has demanded that Reigns be replaced preferably with Daniel Bryan or John Cena, both of whom he is happy to put over given their popularity. Lesnar does not particularly care if the much smaller Bryan were to defeat him - it's a non-issue due to the known 'scripted' nature of professional wrestling - as it wont effect his UFC reputation. Again, Vince McMahon has said that Reigns would not be replaced in the main event of Wrestlemania. Lesnar walked out.

(25 Feb 2015, 10:58 pm)MurdnunoC You do all realise that Wrestlemania is the last date/commitment on Brock Lesnar's contract. A UFC return was always likely once it had expired.I knew his time was up soon, I did not know 'Mania was his last date though

(25 Feb 2015, 11:09 pm)MurdnunoC He could still renegotiate, but, as it stands, he was always going to be dropping the title at Wrestlemania. The Roman Reigns story looks to be a load of bollocks. Neither the Observer or Torch have commented upon it so it looks like another 'newz-site' scoop.As someone once said to me 'You can slide further on a pound of bullshit than on a yard of gravel' and everything about this Reigns things seems to coming from someones arse
