There were a lot of people wondering why WWE had Sheamus and Rusev wrestle on last night’s RAW before their United States Title Match on the WWE Network post-show.
It turns out that Rusev vs. Sheamus for the title was originally planned for Survivor Series. The decision was made on Monday to move the match to the WWE Network last night but the script for RAW had already been written with Sheamus vs. Tyson Kidd and Rusev vs. Zack Ryder. WWE decided to go with Rusev and Sheamus pulling double duty.
– A couple of readers noted that over half the arena emptied out after RAW went off the air last night and didn’t stick around for the Rusev vs. Sheamus U.S. title match.
– It was reported earlier that Randy Orton was pulled from the upcoming WWE live event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 26th. Orton was actually just removed from his scheduled match with The Big Show. Orton is still scheduled to appear at the show, while The Big Show is slated to face Mark Henry at the event.
– It was mentioned during Daniel Bryan’s interview with Sports Illustrated on Monday that WWE would be showing the latest SI digital cover on RAW, featuring the San Francisco Giants celebrating their World Series win with the headline, “Yes!” Yes! Yes!” WWE made no mention of Bryan or the Giants on RAW.
– WWE will return to Buffalo, New York on Sunday, March 1st for a live event. The pre-sale is going on now, through November 7th, with the password WWELIVE.
– WWE’s website has a new poll asking fans who should The Authority recruit to replace Randy Orton – The Miz, Cesaro, Mark Henry, Bray Wyatt, Damien Sandow, Rusev or no one. With 10,000 votes, Rusev is leading with 26%. Wyatt is next with 20%.
– As noted, Kevin Steen has been filming vignettes at the WWE Performance Center and is scheduled to debut at the December 11th Takeover special or the TV tapings on December 12th. Steen tweeted the following last night: “Soon…@WWENXT”
