With the rumors of releases, WWE is apparently SIGNING

Spoiler

I wonder what WWE will do with them.

WWE Payback has been announced for Saturday September 2nd, taking place from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA. So I'm assuming we'll see Summerslam rematches take place there given the name of the PLE.

Guess it was only a matter of time before a "throwaway event" after having all these shows in stadiums and/or outside the US.

This will be the first main roster PLE in a US arena since Survivor Series, and first non gimmick PLE in a US arena since WM Backlash in May 2022.

It will likely cool down a bit in the fall and they will go back to doing the arenas to finish out the year with the exception of the rumored India show. Have to think with the success of these international shows that a major event will take place like a Royal Rumble or Summerslam in 2024.

I hope we have the New Day back soon.

Who knows if Big E will ever compete again, but I'd love seeing him even just as their manager while Kofi and Woods are teaming up. Or make Big E a commentator. He'd definitely be on the McAfee level of comedic/entertaining voice.

Might be an odd opinion.

Instead of JBL randomly being created and thrown into the main event scene... I would have loved to see Mike Awesome in that spot.

Yes, realistically it couldn't work... but man, Awesome doing his thing would have been very believable in that spot.

Awesome and Storm were doomed from the start. Fans didn't care the second they came in. I never realized how huge RVD was the moment he walked in though. He was the one guy from The Alliance fans were going crazy for over the WWF guys he was fighting.

Kanyon is the one "lesser" (not a former world champ) guy from there I think could've been good.

Vince/WWF never understood a guy like Raven similar to how they don't understand a guy like Wyatt.

DDP should've been bigger, he got arguably the biggest pop the moment he debuted compared to anyone else during the Invasion.

Awesome got the big moment being the first guy to really invade (by winning the hardcore title) but that didn't move the needle for him in any way.
