Hhh

I doubt it. Hunter is the one behind the pen and its not like he had Sheamus doing much of anything before his latest injury. Cant be the primary decision maker and advocate for a talent you're not even really pushing or utilizing in anyway.

honestly I don’t see any high ranking official advocating for talent outside of HHH and maybe nick kahn

I said before HHH be disappearing talent like ICE. dude just be having healthy wrestlers sidelined doing nothing until he needs them

it’s like box you keep around that’s taking up space but you’re not ready to get rid of it because it could come in handy one day

that’s how HHH views his roster

Sources in Major League Baseball have passed on that WWE has looking into the potential of running a major event in Milwaukee at American Family Field.

That would be the baseball stadium that houses the Milwaukee Brewers. WWE Celebrity Hall of Famer Bob Eucker, the long-time voice of the Brewers who passed away in 2025 at the age of 90, has statues in his honor both inside and outside of the stadium.

Our source states WWE was looking at the Fall of 2026 or 2027, which could indicate that the stadium could eventually house a Survivor Series event. Last year's Series event was held in Petco Park in California.

Our source states that nothing has been officially locked in, but the two sides are in discussions.

They should probably start downsizing and leave stadium shows to WM cause these SummerSlam ticket sales lookin extremely spooky

Only mania, rumble and summerslam should be considered for stadiums. That’s it but summerslam not being close to a sellout with 3 weeks left is very concerning

If tickets are still the price of mortgages and a 1st born sacrifice...then I'm not surprised

The stadium holds 72K and they’re only distributing about 30K. We’re like 3 weeks away & not close to selling out, both nites

High ticket prices are one thing but nobody payin to see a cold product. Overall fans aren’t interested in a Bloodline rehash, the same guys at the top of the card and no hot angles. The boom period is over

Boom period ended sometime last year I think

2023 was pretty fucking good

2024 wasn’t as good but still very entertaining

2025 was easily the worst year under HHH

2026 has been better but still needs improvement

I was going to say outside pricing let's face it WWE SUCKS right. Yeah you have all the new Gen on the main roster like Oba, Javon, Sol, etc but nothing is that interesting in the slightest that they are doing. Product is ass cheeks

For me it’s somewhere btw aggressively average and cheeks. Like Ro said i feel like 2025 was worse than this year. At least we got the new generation right now & there’s been an effort to push them. Nigga like me woulda just pushed the button on Oba / Roman and ditched the Brock shit. Bron & Jacob are still salvageable . Raw should be built around those 3.

Cena's heel turn not working out killed it. That's a golden angle that didnt keep the momentum going when it could have.

Its hard running a babyface now a days, theres a reason a heel run with Roman worked better than Cody leading the way. Hard keeping a babyface over in a world of overexposure.

Nah, I dont think thats how that played out.

Off the top of my head, but I think 19 did 54,000. They did 20 in MSG for tradition purposes (WM 1 and 10 also were held there). 21 and 22, might just come down to business being down before Cena got things jumping.
