Russo says he couldn’t believe that WWE took the WWE Title off of Jinder Mahal after six months, without raising his stock or putting him in the main event spotlight where he should have been. Russo says he wishes he would have had the opportunity to write for Mahal, because he thought Mahal did a great job with his Title run in spite of some very lacklustre booking.

He says that if you’re a young performer who’s getting into the wrestling business, you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. Professional wrestling is a dangerous career and Russo thinks WWE could be doing a lot more to help protect their performers, especially the brain and head area.

He adds that a lot of today’s performers are working for the ‘pops’ and for Dave Meltzer’s 5-star ratings, when in reality Meltzer’s not going to pay their medical bills or support their family when they’re suffering from brain trauma at a young age.

WWE announced earlier today that that Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns have been pulled from the WWE TLC event this Sunday in Minneapolis. Kurt Angle will be replacing Roman Reigns and AJ Styles will be replacing Bray Wyatt.

Wyatt has been kept off the road for several weeks now as a “precautionary measure” after Bo Dallas was diagnosed with an illness described as a “communicable disease.” When the company found out that Wyatt would be not cleared to return to in-ring action, WWE made the call to have Styles replace him.

WWE also announced that Reigns was being pulled for a medical issue. PWInsider speculates that it’s probably the same issue that Wyatt was pulled for. Angle is now set to team with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at Sunday event in the main event bout. This will be his first WWE match since 2006.

Apparently WWE requested a number of talents that are competing at Sunday’s TLC event to undergo medical testing earlier this week because of the concern that they may have contracted what is ailing Dallas and Wyatt. WWE is not expected to announce anything beyond that there is a medical issue due to HIPAA laws.
