Let’s be honest: The WWE has become America’s biggest soap opera for men. This controversial statement or a similar variation of it has been given by dozens of people including respected critics and even fighters who have now retired from World Wrestling Entertainment.
It’s a show comprised entirely of actors, so there is much more storyline than fighting on many shows; the storylines are often completely over the top to the point of being silly and ridiculous. Most importantly, the WWE are completely aware that they are not a real wrestling company. They certainly know that what they are showing is not a sport, so they embrace the craziness that WWE has become.
The thing is: Nobody cares! Whilst it’s true that the WWE has lost a few viewers recently, it is still hugely popular both in the United States and around the world. The show is earning more money than ever before, too – around $300 million last year alone.
Furthermore, despite the outcome of every WWE match being known well in advance by top level staff such as Vince McMahon, bookmakers are still happy to allow WWE Betting, with tens of millions of dollars being wagered on the outcome of its “fights” each year. This is possible because the WWE are extremely careful to keep their plans top secret - even from lower-level staff.
If you are a fan of soap operas and haven’t been watching the WWE, you are missing out on the craziest, funniest, most over the top and unbelievable member of the genre you enjoy. Best of all, the sheer number of rumors surrounding WWE’s November shows suggests we are going to
Bottom line: This is the perfect time to start watching! To get you in the mood, we’ve dug deep into the world of WWE to find out what viewers can expect during November. If the rumors are true, November will be one of the most exciting months in WWE for some time!
Kevin Owens is a huge favorite with the fans, who would love to see him defeat Big E, which would see him earn the belts he has craved for so long. Big E would be no pushover, but after his loss to Roman Reigns on RAW just a couple of weeks ago, Owens might believe this is the perfect time to go after Big E – he’s clearly not at his best right now. Rumors suggest this fight is a near-certainty, making RAW essential viewing throughout November.
Survivor could use a little extra spice right now, and the WWE does not disappoint: Alexa Bliss returning for a potential Championship match against Becky Lynch would be the equivalent of smothering the show in ultra-hot chili sauce!
These two actually have a real-life beef too, which always ensures there will be a few surprises during the match, regardless of what the director wants or what the fighters previously agreed to! Rumors suggest we will see Charlotte Flair get involved with this fight as well, and after what happened to Lilly at Extreme Rules, we expect Bliss to try deal some retribution onto her too. We literally can’t wait for this one!
Pearce is a retired wrestler who is currently employed by the WWE as the director of live events. In true WWE fashion, however, rumor has it that Pearce will be replaced in a dramatic way… it seems that the WWE thinks it’s time for somebody else to assume the mantle – a heel authority figure who can align alongside Sonya Deville.
This one could take place on the pay-per-view WrestleMania show, though I’m sure you will have little trouble finding the highlights (or even the full show) on the web afterwards.
Did you see Smackdown last week? If not, you missed out on one of the craziest episodes of the year. Shotzi seemingly turned heel and caught the smackdown on Sasha Banks before she had even reached the ring.
Things are likely to get even more crazy, however – Sasha is almost certainly going to be made the Team Captain on Survivor, and she would be crazy not to pick Shotzi if that happens. Banks is likely to pick Shotzi and take her revenge, regardless of team etiquette. I did say that WWE was crazy, didn’t I!
The consensus is that babyface Pierce has been an authority figure at the WWE for far too long, and after his crazy twitter rant against Brock Lesnar a few days ago, could there be a better sendoff for the man than the person he has been attacking from behind his keyboard diving into the ring and demanding a fight?
The way Brock sees it, nobody messes with a WWE Universal Champion and just walks away. Pearce is likely to be taught a lesson in the anti-keyboard-warrior style of Brazilian Jujitsu real soon, we believe.
