Means he'll probably be back before long. Won't be surprised at all to see him at WM32.

1) an appeals court will likely reduce that amount
2) the reason the judgment was so high was likely due to the fact that the lawsuit reduced the chances of future employment with WWE

It was rumored a while back that they'd be open to bring him back after the lawsuit was over.

It made total sense for WWE to cut ties with him during both the racial and sex tape scandals. Now that they are both pretty much over, I see him returning down the road.

And yet TNA isn't shoving a guy with zero talent, zero ability, and zero mic skills down their fans throats like WWE is doing with Roman Reigns, who is so horrible, that if/when he beats HHH I hope and pray AT&T Stadium boos his ass, the entire 100K in attendance, boos the hell out of Roman.

The worst thing that could have happened to wrestling is the day WWE bought WCW, whether you want to believe what Bischoff says that it was best for the business, thats bs, it killed any hope of anyone ever taking over #1 from WWE. If you watch any other promotion besides TNA, they are so much better in terms of the way they tell a storyline, how they push a guy, and just how good the wrestling is, ROH, NJPW, and LU are so much better than WWE, because it's the same s**t with WWE, they push a big jacked up dude who has zero real talent.

Meanwhile ROH pushes guys who deserve it, Jay Lethal IMO is the best wrestler in the US, while in Japan it's Kazuchika Okada, the IWGP Champion, who said he will never sign with WWE. Roman Reigns can't touch either of those guys when it comes to skills, and work ethic IMO. Roman is being handed this on a silver plater. He is slated to main event the next 2 WMs, not just WM 32, but 33 and 34, so 4 WM in a row he will main event, they figure the more they shove him down out throats the more we'll start to like him, but I have deep hatred for Reigns, he didn't earn it IMO.

It's so sad that Alberto Del Rio when in LU was amazing, now in WWE he is boring as f**k, the fans hate him, it's the same s**t just a different year.

I highly doubt Vince will push the young NXT guys, because he's f**ked up Kevin Owens, Neville, The Ascension, Sasha Bans, Becky Lynch, the entire Divas movement is a sham, it's nothing, only reason Charlotte ever became Divas title, is because of her father, Vince likes his divas to be super models, with no real talent, not these girls HHH pushes in NXT who have the skills, like Bayley, like Sasha and Becky did, like Asuka, and so many more. But Vince has screwed up every former NXT guy, with the exception of Xavier Woods, he did well with him with The New Day gimmick, at first he jobbed to Rusev every week.

I'm so glad I cancelled the WWE Network, not worth $9.99 when they refuse to listen to what fans want. And the whole company is a joke, with the Titus O'Neil suspension because he was trying to be a gentlemen and have Steph go first before her father, who is an egotistical maniac, who needs to retire already. Can't wait for the day when WWE suffers major losses money wise, and people end up boycotting their crappy program.

Lol AB hates WWE so much

AB,

Many of us have talked about the issues of the WWE for a long, long time. Some of the same problems and bookers, for that matter, were in WCW. None of this I will dispute with you. I think a lot of it you are likely spot on about. The only question I have, though, is this: how do you know Reigns work ethic? Something tells me that the guy busts his ass and the fans just don't want him because they are mad that he is another Cena (He isn't. He does not have a tenth of the charisma. And is no where as talented as the dude out of the ring.).

I've been a Cena basher for many years. But one thing I can't deny is he loves the business and worked his ass off to get where he is. He started off in the indys and worked his way up the food chain.

I can't say any of those things about Roman Reigns.

Has it leaked or something that he is lazy?

Naw. He just hits every bullet point that makes the IWC hate a wrestler. Tall and muscular, check. Didn't wrestle on the indys, check. Poor mic skills, check. Perceived to be handed opportunities that others deserve more, check. Same 5 moves in every match, check.

I'm sure in real life he's a nice guy and hard working. And what's he gonna do, turn down being pushed to the moon? It stands out more in WWE, but even on the indys guys with great bodies get more opportunities. I seent it first hand.
