It appears that Sami Zayn may be jumping ship to RAW in the coming weeks.

The Staples Center website is advertising Sami Zayn, who is an active SmackDown-brand Superstar, for the upcoming WWE No Mercy event on their website as a RAW Superstar. Here is what they wrote:

“WWE NO MERCY will broadcast from STAPLES Center on Sept 24th. This RAW exclusive PPV brings a day of reckoning to the City of Angels. See: Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Bayley, Braun Strowman, Sasha Banks. Finn Balor, The Miz, Alexa Bliss, Sami Zayn, The Hardy Boys, Cesaro and Sheamus, and many more RAW Superstars.”

It was rumored last via Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live that the word going around is that there will be another “Superstar Shakeup” on the September 11th episode of RAW. This could be an indication that Sami will be moved back to the RAW-brand.

]]> Vince McMahon Not the Primary Reason for Talking Smack’s Cancellation /vince-mcmahon-not-the-primary-reason-for-talking-smacks-cancellation/ Thu, 20 Jul 2017 20:15:49 +0000 /vince-mcmahon-not-the-primary-reason-for-talking-smacks-cancellation/ It was reported last week via Sports Illustrated that one of the reason’s Talking Smack was canceled was because Vince McMahon was not a fan of the format, however those claims appear to be false.

Dave Meltzer received word from a source within WWE that the cancellation of the weekly show had nothing to do with Vince McMahon not liking the format but to do with the viewership numbers the show was receiving.

“Despite all rumors, Vince doesn’t hate Talking Smack. Also, he does not watch it but gets a weekly report about it every Wednesday. The one thing he didn’t like was when the New Day appeared right after Kofi (Kingston) got cleared (the 5/23 episode). That was technically their Tuesday night debut and Vince felt the first Tuesday appearance should have happened on Smackdown.”

As previously noted, the Talking Smack episodes will still air after SmackDown-brand pay-per-view events, as those numbers seem to perform well.
