Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I'm Oli Davis.
Shinsuke NakaPUUUURRRma Shinsuke Nakamura was pulled from his US Championship
match against Jeff Hardy on Tuesday for quite the odd reason: he was bitten by a police
dog the previous day - presumably setting up a feud with The Bigger Dawg Roman Reigns.
Despite presumably then low blowing the dog into castration, F4WOnline are reporting it's
still unknown whether Nakamura will make WWE's shows in Japan this weekend - so his former
Mixed Match Challenge partner Natalya tweeted a message to cheer him up.
"We are sending you all the love in the world @ShinsukeN ... xo, 2pawz! 🙌" with
a picture of her cat dressed up like Nakamura, complete with wacky fringe!
Of course, the Big Dog's eternal mortal enemy is The Cat.
Cats, the saviour of the Internet, and now the only force that can stop Roman Reigns
being pushed again and again and again.
Become the Big Cat, Nakamura, and then low blow that dog t-
Or you could just do the same 'get Roman cheered' storyline you've been doing for
the last year and a hal- Roman Reigns Vs Brock Lesnar Plans
OK, yep, you're doing that one.
On last week's Raw, Kurt Angle announced that Extreme Rules would feature a multi-man
match to become the No. 1 contender for Lesnar's Universal title.
Reigns and Bobby Lashley were made the first entrants, for other wrestlers to be confirmed
over the following weeks.
But on Monday's episode - amidst the latest bout of Brock returning to UFC rumors - Angle
revealed that the No. 1 contenders match had been cancelled, blaming it on a "snag"
in Lesnar's contract.
It was speculated this could be because of Brock's real-life plans to compete in MMA
again, for which he would need to re-enter USADA's testing pool by today, Friday 29th,
to fight for the UFC in December this year.
The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, however, is reporting that Brock's contract
"snag" is actually not to blame at all, and the Extreme Rules match being scrapped
"is all storyline" - but the decision "was called a panic move".
Apparently the original main event was going to be a six-way match, which Reigns, Lashley
and Finn Balor were advertised for on the PPG Paints Arena website.
Longer term, this is reportedly just a retread of Roman and Brock's feud going into WrestleMania
34, where WWE presented Lesnar as someone who didn't care about the fans or wrestling,
as a way to get the crowd to cheer for Roman by default.
Instead, though, the audience just booed both guys and ruined the WrestleMania main event.
The major storyline difference this time is that Paul Heyman will threaten Brock "is
leaving [WWE] with the belt and going to the UFC".
For Roman, "The idea is that nobody believes in Reigns but himself, and thus that will
either make him sympathetic before the match (this is unlikely to work) or that at least
coming out of it, there will be some grudging admiration for him".
Good luck with that!
Chris Jericho Staying With New Japan?
Possibly inspired by The Beast Incarnate's WWE deal, Chris Jericho has described his
New Japan agreement on X-Pac's 12360 podcast as "a Brock Lesnar type of schedule where
I am not there for every show but the ones that I am there for are now special cause
Jericho is there."
After wrestling what many thought was a one-and-done match for New Japan against Kenny Omega at
WrestleKingdom 12 in January, Jericho returned the very next night to set up a feud with
Tetsuya Naito.
This culminated at New Japan's Dominion show earlier this month, where Jericho won
Naito's IWGP Intercontinental Championship.
"I didn't expect to be doing more matches with New Japan as of January of this year
and now that I've done another one and there's a couple more in the pipeline I might decide
to stay a little longer."
