I know it's popular to shit on Meltzer these days, but this looks like an internet report from the late 90's.
- WWE officials are reportedly planning on bringing Samoa Joe to the main roster after WrestleMania 32, possibly as soon as the post-WrestleMania RAW the next day.
Right now the plan is to debut Joe on that RAW but it was noted by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that creative plans could change, but plans are in motion to bring Joe up. There was at least talk of having Joe defeat Finn Balor for the NXT Title and extend their feud, which would obviously delay his main roster call-up.
There has also been a lot of consideration lately to calling Sami Zayn to the main roster for a feud with Kevin Owens.
Regarding Balor, it does not look like he will be called up after WrestleMania as officials are still looking at him to be the face of the NXT brand past March.

Make Jordan & Gable vs Dash & Dawson 2 out of 3 falls & this card would be flawless. Already is, but I'm just wanting even more.
Fantastic card though. This is the IWC's version of WrestleMania.

Renee, Mauro & Lita are doing the kickoff show. I seriously want Mauro & Renee (and heel Lawler) to be the Smackdown commentary team.
Lita is still smokin', but damn, she needs to either lay off the tanner, tanning bed or just stay out of the sun a bit. She looks like Kramer after he fell asleep in the tanning bed.

Cathy Kelly is the backstage interviewer at least for the pre-show. She's pretty easy on the eyes.
If you don't know her, they just hired her. She did Afterbuzz TV & also does a radio show with Sam Roberts (no, not Katie Linendoll)

Mauro is awesome, but I want him to be like Doc Emrick. I'm fine with the opening to shows, but his speech pattern is weird on camera.

I hate to quote myself, but I just thought of something. The top looks like Lita, the rest looks like Matt Hardy. |

Keller is making it sound like Lita is drunk or something?

I think my tag title prediction will be incorrect.

Did anyone other than CIJ and I think Saturday Night's Main Event was on with the Phillips/Graves open?

See I disagree, they might have them chase a bit. Then again I wouldn't mind these two teams trading the titles a few times. These two teams could have a great back & forth feud.
Chad Gable is incredible. Everything he lacks in size, Jordan covers. Everything Jordan lacks in charisma, Gable covers. It's the perfect pairing.

Wilder crawled under the ring & pulled Jordan down from getting the tag. Amazing.
Just as I type that, Revival botch a powerbomb/top rope move, nearly dropping Gable flush on his neck. Which got You Fucked Up & Botchamania chants.

Nice to see the Revival didn't get flustered by fucking that move up.

Stop with the fucking chanting and just clap and cheer. This match is absolutely outstanding.

Even with the botch, and taking some time to recover, that was one of the best tag team matches I've seen in years.

Ugh, Beadle sighting already. Told you it wasn't a coincidence that she "reunited" with the WWE just in time for Mania.
IBUSHI IN THE FRONT ROW!!!
