– Tyler Breeze and Bo Dallas have been teaming up at recent WWE live events and apparently they now have their own name. They lost to Sin Cara and Kalisto at last night’s WWE live event in Seattle but before the match, Bo cut a promo and said everyone was watching history being made as he and Breeze teamed up. He referred to them as BoBreeze. Below are fan photos from last night:

I have to be honest. When Putin comes out of hiding after 23 days during Rusev's entrance, I'm going to pop.

Zbyszko is going into the Hall of Fame. I don't see it happening, but it'd be cool to see Bruno induct him.
Trying to figure out who would induct Madusa? Heyman would be nice, but I fear they'll throw Tits & Hippie up there to give "she paved the way for us" bullshit.

That makes complete sense for Bruno to induct him. So it for sure won't happen.

According to PWInsider, apparently Bruno will be inducting Zbyszko, so that's at least a plus.
HBK inducting Nash
Flair inducting Tatsumi Fujinami
Usos inducting Rikishi
Big Johnny inducting The Bushwhackers (looking forward to crowd reaction for him)
Hogan inducting Savage
Mrs. Warrior & Daniel Bryan inducting Connor
Haven't announced who's inducting Madusa or Ah-nold

- WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is reportedly close to signing a new deal with WWE, according to talk going around at Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings. Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who has broke several WWE stories in the past, notes that word at SmackDown was that with the lack of popularity that Roman Reigns has received as of late, Triple H is pushing Vince McMahon on the idea of keeping the title on Lesnar.
If Lesnar does retain at WrestleMania 31, it would likely mean a continued “special attraction schedule” for him. Triple H has recently been big on the idea that the Intercontinental Title and the United States Title should be important and mean something again. The plan, if Brock retains is to put the US Title on John Cena and the IC Title on Daniel Bryan.
The idea is that two top stars, Cena and Bryan, could bring legitimacy to the titles. Also, while Lesnar is gone, Cena and Bryan can main event RAW, SmackDown and all other events with titles on the top of the card.

Dave Meltzer is reporting that Jay and Mark Briscoe are likely headed to NXT at some point this summer. Jay is the current Ring of Honor World Champion, so if the duo does accept an offer from WWE, obviously he’d have to drop the belt in the next few months.
So this obviously won't happen. Too bad kesha.

As noted, many people on social media felt Mark Henry’s line to Roman Reigns on Smackdown about “young bucks” never being anywhere was a direct shot at The Young Bucks tag team, and Dave Meltzer noted on the Wrestling Observer message board that the line was indeed a shot at the tag team.
Furthermore, it appears WWE is still very bitter over The Young Bucks turning down a tryout for the company back in 2014. We’ve noted how WWE has applied to trademark the “too sweet” hand gesture, which is used by The Young Bucks and New Japan Pro Wrestling’s popular Bullet Club stable.
WWE has taken other, subtle shots at The Bucks before, as back in February, WWE posted a “Fury” video on YouTube that was the “Superkick Party” edition. There was some chatter that this was also done to take a shot at The Bucks and apparently that is the case. The term “Superkick Party” has been used by The Bucks for some time now.
Meltzer again seems wrong. Henry has been saying "young bucks" when referring to younger wrestlers for at least 5 years.

Backstage News on a Andrian Nevile's Rumored "Mighty Mouse" Gimmick
Posted By: Ben Kerin on Mar 19, 2015
Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
We reported a while back that WWE but more specifically Vince McMahon had discussions about bringing NXT star Adrian Neville to the main roster with a "Mighty Mouse" gimmick. It's now being reported that those talks have ceased recently and Neville's future on the main roster has yet to be determined.
At one stage WWE had considered Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in for that role, however he chose to pursue a career in MMA instead.
McMahon has wanted to try out the gimmick on a small stature wrestler for a while.
Mighty Mouse was an American animated superhero mouse character created by the Terrytoons studio for 20th Century Fox who appeared in 80 theatrical films produced between 1942 and 1961. These films later appeared on American television from 1955 through 1967 on the CBS television network on Saturday mornings.

Good lord, they can't possibly be stupid enough to do this can they? - We noted earlier this week via Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who has broke several WWE stories in the past, that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was close to re-signing with the company and there was talk of keeping the title on him at WrestleMania 31. Then the idea would be to have John Cena take the United States Title and Daniel Bryan win the Intercontinental Title a a way to elevate both of those titles. It should be noted that this report is just a rumor for now. MetsFan has posted an update and says another idea being tossed around is for Sheamus to make his surprise return in the Intercontinental Title Ladder Match at WrestleMania. According to this report, the feeling is that Sheamus will be cheered heavily but will “heel it up” throughout the match. At some point, Sheamus would cost Bryan the match and win the title. This would then lead to a feud with a heel Sheamus vs. a babyface Bryan for the Intercontinental Title. It should be noted that this is another rumor but since his original report about WWE elevating both secondary titles, there have been signs from within WWE and from other sources that the reports could be true. He did add that this plan is less likely to happen than the original idea of Bryan winning the title but it is still being discussed.

I'd much prefer Bryan chasing the World title by Brock or Rollins than the fucking IC title by Sheamus. Here goes fantasy booking.....
I'm going to preface this by saying I've been watching a lot of Rick Rude WCW videos on YouTube recently. Dangerous Alliance is on my mind, but still, I'd prefer that faction over The Authority.
The Authority is dog shit. Aside from Rollins putting on great matches & Noble and Mercury being great stooges and aside from the occasional Steph appearance, the faction sucks. Show & Kane are terrible. They need a completely newly structured heel faction. After Mania, Trips should stay off TV. The perfect way to do that is by having a new heel figure to be on TV, Heyman.
I just want a Heyman ran faction with Rollins as the crown jewel (if Brock leaves), if they're so into having him heel then a bruiser in Sheamus (I'd prefer Barrett), Kidd & Cesaro (no more of this rollup losses, have them dominate). Throw in another person in there as well. Fuck it, have Nattie still be with Kidd & have her be the Madusa of the group. Boom, Dangerous Alliance 2K15. You could have Rollins as World champ with Reigns/Orton/Bryan chasing him. Ambrose/Ziggler chasing the IC champ Sheamus (again, prefer Barrett). Kidd/Cesaro defend against the shitty tag division, even a bitter Kane/Show for being kicked to the curb. Have Nattie come out of nowhere & win the Divas title. You have talent, charisma, amazing promos, quality matches, boom. I know that'd mean nearly all heel champions, but you have the biggest face of them all as your sole face champion in Cena.
I'm sure had I been watching videos of say the Million Dollar Corporation 95, I'd be pitching for Heyman to be the Dibiase character & Konnor to be the Nikolai Volkoff of the group. So, yeah... |

We previously reported that Ring Of Honor veteran Jimmy Jacobs will be working with WWE in a creative role after Wrestlemania 31.
Reports state Jacobs will move to Orlando and work with the NXT brand, bringing him up to speed with the company as well as working with talent he is familiar with. Apparently Jacobs’ WWE move has been in plans for several months, and he will move up to the main roster creative team.

In terms of entrances, I'd of course prefer Balor, but it's the battle royal, which means everyone is already in the ring & doesn't get entrances.
That being said, Neville would be the way to go if he's getting called up. I know the talks of the gimmick have thankfully calmed down, but if Neville were to eliminate a Kane/Big Show, it'd work that dumb mighty mouse gimmick good.
Honestly don't want any of them getting put in the battle royal. It means the possibility of losing them to the main roster, which I def don't want.

Just because they are in NXT should preclude them from doing the correct job for the business. Really this match should be won by only the Miz or Mizdow as they have had one of if not the most entertaining angles leading to Wrestlemania. I'm ok with whichever guy wins it. Turn Sandow either on Wrestlemania or the next Raw. Either way time to jump on that guy and see what he can do. |

I think he selfishly meant he doesn't want to lose anyone to the main roster - as in get the call up. I have a feeling random enjoys his NXT roster just the way it is. Of course I could have interpretted his comment incorrectly. If so, I agree with you CIJ. And if anything, there could be the beginning of a feud based on a moment in that rumble match. |

Woodridge is right with what I meant. There's been such good matches on a consistent basis in NXT featuring those guys (and nearly everyone quite frankly), that having them get a callup to the main roster & get 2 minutes of TV time would suck. Is it inevitable? Absolutely, it's the main roster of WWE, but as a huge fan of NXT, losing a guy would be a bummer.
I actually dug The Ascension in NXT, they're terrible on the main roster. Bo Dallas was great in NXT & was good for a few weeks on Raw, then Vince lost interest, yes he got hurt, but he's been cleared for a while. Adam Rose was fun in NXT for his only few weeks there, they hotshot him to the main roster & quickly became forgettable. They have a horrible track record when it comes to NXT talent, so the potential of any of those 4 getting spots, can't help but be worried.
Are Balor, Itami, Breeze & Neville on another level than Rose/Ascension/Dallas? Absolutely, but still worries me they'll be forgotten quickly.

I really enjoyed Bo Dallas in the E and I thought he was really picking up steam. They ruined him when they had him lose a random match to R Truth. You know what would have been funny as hell? What if Bo Dallas had continued his winning streak and never got hurt. You run this through Fast Lane. That Monday Night Raw after FL, you have Rusev come out after his CLEAN win over Cena and say there is no one that can stop him. Anyone can come out from the back, but no one has the kind of record he does....out comes Bo Dallas and does hiw usual schtick, but on Rusev and Russia. Face turn Bo Dallas vs. Rusev at Wrestlemania. I'd be way more interested in that and frankly, I think there would be a lot more intrigue as to who would win the matchup.
