It was noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Big E and Chad Gable missing SmackDown this past week was because creative just didn’t have anything for them.

this glorious monument

WWE is in full 'reward the lifers' mode. From here on out loyalty is the sole metric of the worth of a superstar. Maybe their example trickle down to those who might have doubts about the value of sycophantry.

I really wish Roman Reigns would gently caress off again. Even though I don't watch this poo poo Big E is never getting close to the top as long as he's around.

I’m not right but sometimes I just wonder if these things happen because they know they got you for 5 more years anyway.

It just crossed my mind because the MONTH before Gulak’s contract was set to expire, he was being featured and killing it with Daniel Bryan.

Then he signed his 5 years and welp, he’s back in catering.

Clearly this doesn’t check out at all, but I’m sure that when Big E’s contract is near expiration, creative will have something for him.

I'm pretty sure this has little to do with Reigns and a lot more to do with the fact that WWE couldn't book a top babyface to save their lives.

To be fair, it can be hard to shoehorn a wrestler into a wrestling show.

New Day podcast had R-Truth this week and it was a delightful listen. dude is extremely goofy (like, honestly, he went some WEIRD places) before suddenly getting serious about how he got his start.

And the first bit was, again, Big E doing a brief rant on how he no longer has a surname and is still very mad about it!

I don’t watch the product, but the podcast is great and I’ll generally keep up with it. they’re just too drat charming.

ummm excuse me, Drew Gulak is the current 24/7 champ (after he/truth both got destroyed by Lashley who then just dumped Gulak on top of a R-Deadl, unless the title has changed in like the past 2 weeks (probably), and before that he was always part of the 24/7 7/11 I94 Europeon World title chase (except during official 24/7 titles, when it''s a non title match!)

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Hours of TV every week between RAW and Smackdown and both these statements are somehow true:

They don't know how to fill time so they throw the 24/7 guys out there for inconsequential skits that can eat up a whole segment, sometimes 2 or 3 times a night
They just don't have enough time on TV to book guys like Chad Gable, or Big E, or WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka

no, this is entirely the case -- if someone's potentially going to leave they either toss them a belt and insist to them that Things Will Be Better Soon or if they seem like their minds are made up instead they start to try to ruin their options elsewhere like they did with FTR and make the rest of their time in WWE miserable

i'd be surprised if the reason sami zayn is on TV right now wasn't because his contract is running out, for example

The McMahons failed miserably to win a senate seat, and rebounded by trying to glom onto Barack Obama for a second attempt at which they failed even more miserably, and then Linda McMahon was put in charge of the SBA, failed to accomplish anything worthwhile and ultimately chose to leave to run Trump's superpac and ensure his campaign's financial future and re-election, and then the campaign went broke and they lost the election.

The McMahon family legacy of miserable failure.
