WWE is blurring the lines more than usual.

Not only is that evident by the realness and rawness of Triple H's promo on Batista, but also by how Roman Reigns gave an impassioned speech about forgiveness and reuniting The Shield. The company even mentioned Ambrose's future with the company again and had an SNL weekend update host ask if wrestling was even real.

In all honesty, it really feels like WWE is making a point of blurring the lines between reality and fiction again. Why exactly the company is doing this, what the ultimate result is and how all this unique storytelling was prompted remains to be seen, but one has to admit that the possibilities are endless here!

Let's be honest for a minute. While WWE has made some mistakes in the past, especially over the course of the last couple of months, this is the most strong and compelling storytelling the company has done in a while. It's also something that could pay huge dividends for the company on The Road To WrestleMania, which is what they need right now!
