Originally Raw was to get the real title and Smackdown would get the made up title (which Styles was to have won). The Reigns drug test failure changed all the plans and the decision was to have another babyface put in the top position on Raw and Reigns be moved down as punishment. The Raw face side was very weak as with the exception of part-timers Lesnar and Show, the top faces were Cesaro and Zayn. Rather than go with them, since Cesaro has been typecast at a certain level and even though Zayn did beat Owens, clearly the decision was made not to go with him, they decided to instantly make Balor the top guy, at least until they go back to Reigns. Of course now everything is up in the air

If you look at what Vince McMahon has accomplished in all of his years, and to still be on top, still doing it, the guy’s got enough money, he’s in it 'cause he loves it, he’s in it 'cause he’s passionate about it.”

White was asked what it has been like to negotiate with WWE, "I would say that this last Brock deal, and when Ronda went over and did the WWE WrestleMania, I’d say those were the two, out of all the years of dealing with Vince and everybody, those were probably the two best experiences. I think that Vince, and definitely Stephanie and Triple H, Stephanie and Triple H are always great, always great, always cool to work with, Vince has been very difficult in the past, but in the last several years he’s been much better.”

But White made sure to note that he respects McMahon, “He’s a f*cking maniac, he’s an animal, he’s a competitor, he wants to win, and you know, that’s his nature, and I respect it.”

Bryan said: "The most tragic part, that kind of stuff happens... the most tragic part to me is it happens as soon as he gets up here. And I think one of the things that really upsets me about the whole situation is that Finn Balor should’ve been up here a year and a half ago ...

So, he’s in the prime of his career right now, like he just turned 35 the day he debuted on Raw. Right? Like, he should’ve been here a year and a half ago. Samoa Joe should already be here. Shinsuke Nakamura should already be here. Those are guys in their primes and they’re down on NXT right now, and they should be here... either on SmackDown Live or on Raw.

And the longer we wait, the more bumps they take, the more bruises they get, and the more susceptible they are to injury. Everybody knows there’s a finite number of hits you can take in your career, you don’t know what number that is. And the more times you take those hits down on NXT, the less hits you’re going to be able to take when you’re here.”

The match itself will be titled "Delete or Decay."

I was told that there was some insane material filmed and that TNA bumped up the budget from the last Final Deletion match, which featured Matt Hardy "deleting" Jeff Hardy on an episode of Impact Wrestling that received positive reviews for it's unique presentation and tongue-in-cheek campiness. The episode garnered 410,000 viewers, the highest audience for an initial broadcast of Impact Wrestling since the series debuted on Pop TV earlier this year.

Bo Dallas may be in some hot water.

Late Shift host Steven Bell posted on Twitter that former NXT Champion Bo Dallas was booted from WWE's flight from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to Mexico for being intoxicated. Bell said that he heard Dallas "very loudly singing the Lion King song" in the background while he spoke to his wife, in a situation you really can't make up.

When the pilot approached Bo Dallas, the WWE superstar reportedly told the him to "fuck himself," before echoing his sentiments to everyone else. The boarding staff would later confirm that Dallas was tossed for being intoxicated.

Police would later arrive at the terminal. There's no word on if Dallas was arrested or not, but the officers went on a search for the 26-year old talent. He was later found and escorted from the terminal. He also has wandered away from the area while the airport staff tried to book a later flight for him.

Dallas was seen before the incident drinking with one of the Usos and Charlotte in the airport bar, as they were heading for Mexico, where WWE is touring

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Next set of Cruiserweight Classic tournament tapings is occurring tonight with the Final Four to be revealed in the end.
  • The Headbangers recently teased on Facebook they are returning to the WWE soon for Smackdown's Tag Team championship tournament.
  • For those interested, WWE is currently selling a Mystery Box for $25 that contains five randomly picked t-shirts. http://shop.wwe.com/wwe-mystery-mens...r=...#start=27
  • Supposedly the rumor involving several more WWE wrestlers getting suspended for failing the Wellness tests is leaning towards being fake although could still happen after this weekend's set of shows. Also possible the WWE might stagger the suspensions so they don't lose everyone at once assuming its true. Recent track record for the source of the rumors isn't good though when it comes to breaking huge news.
  • In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, today is the 17th anniversary of Smackdown's debut.
  • In a bit of somber news, the mother of child cancer patient Elijah/Drax Shadow revealed her son likely won't live past this year. Last year the WWE gave him an honorary WWE contract and his own wrestling name as part of a Make A Wish request. https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...other_says_he/
