It'd be an understatement to say that the WrestleMania 35 fallout has been happening. It has rather been manically and shockingly explosive. We have had Superstars blocking one another, staff quitting, wrestlers publicly being vocal about issues, and so much more. The hashtag #IfYouOnlyKnew just makes complete sense to us in a time when the entire wrestling world has the same question, "What's next?"
Well, we are all on the edge, looking forward to what will happen in these developing stories. In this article, we present 7 Post 'Mania stories that have shocked all of us WWE fans.
#5 Road Dogg quits!
As first reported Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the reports of WWE Hall of Famer Brian G. James, aka, Road Dogg quitting WWE earlier this week shocked all of us.
WWE Veteran Road Dogg must have had a maniacal and magical WrestleMania week, being one of the creative heads in WWE and the fact that he went into the Hall of Fame as a member of DX.
We reported a developing story that James had stepped down from his role as creative head of SmackDown LIVE. It had been speculated that the wrestling legend quit his position citing differences with Vince McMahon.
However, this story now has had a newer and a brighter addition, as Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed Road Dogg will no longer be the head writer of SmackDown, but he’s not leaving the company. Also, Road Dogg didn't necessarily step down from his position, it was rather a mutual decision between him and WWE.
This story shocked everyone in the wrestling world and got fans talking, but now it seems like the legend is going nowhere anytime soon.
#4 Sasha Banks tries to quit WWE
It seems like WWE's decision to take the women's tag team titles off The Boss N Hug Connection hasn't gone down well with one of the members of the team, Sasha Banks. As the Boss tried to quit WWE citing her disappointment with the booking.
A report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter states:
According to one person high up, Banks tried to quit over the weekend, as she felt blindsided when finding out at the last minute that they were taking the tag team titles from her and Bayley. She had thought that the two of them would be given a chance to have a strong run and bring credibility to the belts and establish them as serious belts. Then the decision was made to go to the Iiconics, who as champions, could only make the belts seem like gimmick comedy belts.
Banks also pulled out of a major public appearance earlier this week. However, Banks wasn't granted her release, and WWE has given her time to rethink her decision.
#3 Dean Ambrose offered a $6 million deal
Although Dean Ambrose said goodbye to the WWE Universe on the RAW after WrestleMania, the speculation regarding his future hasn't stopped. The impending departure of the Lunatic Fringe has kept the dirt sheets on the edge, reporting a new status regarding Ambrose staying or leaving the company.
We know for certain that Ambrose will be working house shows and other live events through the end of April, but he's not renewed his contract.
Now, we know that AEW has offered a massive deal to Dean Ambrose. The amount is a staggering $6 million. It has been obvious that AEW has a lot of money to spend, but this sort of money is quite insane and only less than Brock Lesnar and John Cena's WWE salaries.
There had been reports that WWE offered to double offers to keep their talent with the company. It'd be awesome to see if WWE doubles this offer for Ambrose.
#2 Many WWE Superstars are looking to join AEW
It's not just Dean Ambrose and Sasha Banks who have appeared to have plans to leave WWE. There are many superstars who have plans to make a move to AEW.
Also, WOR reports:
Several WWE Superstars waiting for contracts to be up to sign with AEW "There are a few who are tight with AEW management or who are really into wanting to be featured and create a legacy of being top stars and feel that’s not going to happen with them on the main roster who have at least some interest. There are also some in NXT who feel they are more likely to be used well in AEW than the main roster who have expressed interest. A few are leaning toward going when their deals are up, and others are taking a wait-and-see."
AEW certainly has the money to offer, and they're already shaping up to be the talented roster. It's also obvious WWE does not want to lose its talent to AEW, potentially its biggest rivals since WCW.
#1 The Injury woes!
You can add the name of WWE's Big E to the list of injured superstars. Big E suffered a knee injury during the main event of SmackDown's post WrestleMania episode. WWE's official Twitter account confirmed the same, tweeting that the New Day star had suffered a "torn meniscus". New Day fought The Bar and Drew McIntyre in the main event.
This is a sad development, as many WWE performers have been already reported to have been suffering from injuries. Big E has since commented on his injury, stating that a Crossbody "cooked the cartilage."
WWE has all of a sudden found itself in an injury crisis. The company has already had several of its top stars in AJ Styles, Ronda Rousey, Rey Mysterio, and Daniel Bryan reported as injured. It is worrisome times for WWE
