As seen on last night’s No Mercy pay-per-view, Brock Lensar retained his Universal Championship over Braun Strowman. Due to Strowman’s rising popularity among the fans, many people speculated that the Monster among Men would pull off a surprise victory over Lesnar.

However, according to f4wonline.com, despite Strowman’s rising popularity, the plan was kept as it had always had been with no changes. Apparently, this feud had always been seen as a mere “stop” in the Road to WrestleMania 34 where Lesnar is scheduled to drop the title to Roman Reigns, whose victory over John Cena was also a part of the same “road”.

Sports Illustrated claims that The Hardy Boyz were willing to pay between $10,000 and $15,000 for the rights to the “BROKEN” gimmick. This same deal would have included a non-disparagement clause and the Hardys sending out a press release to end the conflict on good terms.

As the deal was approaching completion, Anthem Sports reportedly tried to pull a a fast one and wanted more out of the deal. One of the things they asked for was 50% of all Hardy revenue which including Jeff Hardy’s art and music. The Hardys saw this as a ‘monumental heist and money-grab’ and the deal was not made.

The plan now is for Jeff Jarrett to stall the agreement in hopes that The Hardys will give up pursuing the case.

While speaking to Sport Illustrated, former WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio reveals that he had conversations with Impact Wrestling about working for the company, but thing’s didn’t pan out. He did however reveal that he would still like to work for the company, however he wouldn’t want to be under a contract.

“I was actually in conversations a while back with Impact about doing some shows. To be honest with you, it’s not that I don’t want to go work for them, it’s just like I didn’t have it in my game plan. I also didn’t have Lucha Underground in my game plan before it was created. If the circumstances were right, I wouldn’t mind going. I’m not interested in signing a contractual deal, but I would love to do some shows. People want to see diversity in their opponents and fans want to see their dream matches. If people want to see a match-up, let’s make it happen.”
