Le changement de titre à NXT, alors que Samoa Joe a vaincu Finn Balor hier soir (après un règne de 292 jours!), a bien sûr suscité plusieurs réactions sur les médias sociaux.

Kevin Owens en a ajouté une couche concernant les rumeurs de l’arrivée imminente de Finn Balor dans le personnel régulier de la WWE.

@wwebalor See you soon, buddy.

En entrevue pour le magazine Rolling Stone, John Cena a admis qu’il s’ennuie du sang et des éléments plus “risqués” de la WWE. Il comprend toutefois Vince McMahon d’avoir choisi un produit plus familial afin d’élargir son public.

“I’m a 38-year-old man. I’d much rather it be a program geared toward me, whether that’s TV-14 or sometimes even more graphic than that, which is what I like. For one thing, profanity brought fire out of people with personalities that backed the language. It’s very difficult to say, ‘Oh, you’re being poopy,’ especially when they’re meant to be fighting words. And now, if someone starts to bleed, the referee intervenes to stop the bleeding. But before, you’d just let it fly.

Blood is one of the things that made fights cool. Like, you knew it had gotten serious. I understand why we don’t do it anymore. Vince has been a coach to me, a father figure, a boss and a friend, and his goal and my goal are the same: to make the company be as big as it can be. But, yeah, the blood is one thing I miss.”
