Alba competing at Clash just got that much more important and really sad at the same time.

Her mom was visiting her last month and she got hit by a car and died.

Now Alba this weekend returns to Scotland (I'd imagine she might have been there for the funeral) competing infront of her friends and family, but her mom won't be there.

Undertaker revealed he found out while filming the bone yard match that his brother died, but he still went through with the match. That and Bryan's dad dying right before WM are the few moments I can think of where family died right before one of the biggest moments in someone's career.

Can't imagine how much harder it'd be for Alba to compete specifically in her home not having her mom there. Maybe she was even gonna tell her mom during that visit that she's gonna be on the Clash card.

Wow, that's awful.

Not that I think their team was gonna win or they should suddenly win because of that, but how special a moment could that be if she won the tag titles in Scotland.

They should.

Let's be honest, it's just the women's tag titles. There's no story that Alba and Isla winning would disrupt.

Don't know how people would feel about it. Not the same prestige, but some people didn't like Rey winning because Eddie died, even though that was the right move/moment.

Yeah, I classify that one differently in that they made an entire story out of it where this would just be a nice professional moment at a personally tough time for her.

I’m generally against pity wins (wrestler should win a title because they’ve been there for so long, or at a PPV is in their hometown, etc) but the timing of this one combined with the tag titles being almost meaningless make me say why the hell not?

They could always win it and drop it back to Bianca/Jade soon after, but feels more like Shayna/Zoey are also in this match simply for Jade/Bianca winning this match without being booed for beating the "Scottish Sisters".

Though same applies the other way too I guess. Jade/Bianca could lose and pull the old "we lost our titles but you didn't beat us, so we deserve a rematch" which happens 9/10 times in triple threats.

WWE has filed a trademark for Talla Tonga.

Could be the name for

Spoiler

But are they really gonna go with calling all of them Tonga?

Already seems like a tongue twister with Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga. Now it's Tonga Loa, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga?

Unless they're planning on changing Tonga Loa to Loa Tonga and just making Tonga their last name like the Usos.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Now we have to come up with a cool Tongan name for Heyman.

Apparently wise man in Tongan is Tangata Poto

Manager in Tongan is Pule (dont know how its pronnounced, but lets just say it sounds like Paul). Just call him Pule Tonga

(Or so google says)

Speaking of the Bloodline, The Rock injured his elbow while filming his new movie. This might be a torn triceps given this sounds similar to the injury Cena had before his Summerslam match with Daniel Bryan, and still competed in that match with it. Cena returned in two months later that year in 2013, so this shouldn't effect anything that might do with the Bloodline for now.

I'd be surprised if we even see Rock compete before Survivor Series anyways.

Yeah as long as it's not anything major that derails Wrestlemania plans for next year, be it a match with Cody or they do Rock/Roman. Given Rock got injured at Wrestlemania 29 delaying his movies which Hollywood was upset at WWE with. Rock getting injured while filming a movie delaying his wrestling storylines would have been ironic.

The way I could see it:

Survivor Series: Tribal Wargames

Royal Rumble: Rock vs Cody

Wrestlemania: Rock vs Reigns

Could always just have Rock in a managerial roll at Summerslam and save his in ring stuff till next Mania.

That's why I could see him in wargames.

Being the last entrant in the match requires the least amount of time actually competing which could help him too.
