some huge wrestling news for you.
WWE Bans Beach Balls WWE have officially banned beach balls from
their live events.
That’s why I said ‘oh buoy’ at the start.
Because a ‘buoy’ is a spherical, anchored float you put in the sea.
It’s a water pun...which probably works better written down.
PWInsider are reporting that WWE informed all security staff at the Barclays Center
not just to confiscate any beach balls at Tuesday’s episode of Smackdown - following
a number of beach ball-related incidents at Summerslam and Monday Night Raw - but also
“all pool-related paraphernalia”.
That means fans can no longer bring Giant Inflatable Parrots, Wally The Walrus, novelty
drink holders, long cylindrical floats, giant inflatable slides, or even zorbs to shows.
What are you going to ban next, WWE?
Fun itself?
Sadly, this also means the entire Attitude Era Women’s division will no longer be allowed
into events.
Real Reason John Cena Moved To Raw One man who is a fan of inflatables, however,
is John Cena - who addressed the crowd following this week’s Raw, saying the fans have paid
their money and should be allowed to do what they want, criticising security for throwing
people with beach balls out.
But defending inflatables isn’t the only reason Cena has jumped brands to Raw.
Sports Illustrated are reporting “John Cena is back on Monday nights on the USA Network
for one reason: Vince McMahon wants Cena to elevate and give the rub to Roman Reigns.”
Apparently the move wasn’t just based on Cena being a bigger ratings draw for WWE’s
flagship show, but also on who he’ll work with to bring in those viewers.
The article notes that Cena is going to be elevated even more in fresh feuds against
Samoa Joe, Elias and Braun Strowman, to eventually put over Reigns.
Wrestlemania 34 Main Event Back On But despite Cena vs Roman being a big time
match, it appears the company aren’t saving it for Wrestlemania 34 - with the Wrestling
Observer Newsletter now reporting Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns is back on as the Raw main
event for WWE’s biggest show of the year.
At one point, Lesnar vs Reigns had apparently been moved forward to main event Summerslam,
with Cena vs Reigns being pencilled in for next year’s Wrestlemania.
WWE Smackdown Rating But even with Beach Ball-a-Mania running wild
and Cena moving to Raw, Smackdown still managed its best rating since April, pulling in 2.69
million viewers - a 6% increase on last week’s show.
Your ratings are far more important, though.
68% agreed with me that the show was SmackTastic, while SmackDamn and Smack Bang in the Middle
were tied at 14% each.
