>We previously noted how John Cena vs. Roman Reigns was originally planned for Survivor Series 2017, but WWE moved it to No Mercy 2017 because Cena won’t be available for the Survivor Series PPV in November because he’ll be filming the Bumblebee Transformers movie.

>However, Dirty Sheets is reporting that WWE officials are talking with the makers of the Bumblebee movie to allow Cena to work a match at Survivor Series 2017 and that’s because WWE has some huge plans in store for Cena.

>If WWE manages to get Cena to work the Survivor Series PPV, then John Cena vs. The Undertaker will take place in the main event of the show. If this match indeed gets locked to happen, then there’s a big possibility of The Undertaker interfering in the Cena-Reigns match at No Mercy 2017.

>It should be noted that the No Mercy 2017 WWE Network promo end with The Undertaker’s gong. You can watch it below: https://twitter.com/fernandobado/status/902698989052669957

>Dave Meltzer believes the reason behind early John Cena - Roman Reigns feud is to get Roman over with the fans. Officials see this Wrestlemania as Roman Reigns coronation and they want to build him up for big moment.

There were no 6-star matches before the start of this year. I mean, there actually was but no one knew about it, that's how obscure it was. Now, fast forward to August. Wait. what? There are now THREE 6 star matches? And a 5-star 3 quarters to add? AND THEY WERE ALL BY THIS MAN RIGHT HERE?? Kenny fucking Omega. Are you fucking kidding me right now!? Jesus. Fuck. He's set his own standard for other wrestlers. I mean he's single handedly made 5-star matches mean NOTHING. It's now about 6-stars. I mean, if Cena and AJ can put together 4 and 3 quarters, and maybe even 5, hell, just give them 5, THAT MEANS NOTHING ANYMORE. THAT IS HOW GOOD KENNY OMEGA IS.

There's no man, woman, or non-binary in WWE, NJPW, or elsewhere that's more of a total package than Kenny Omaga. You know this is true.

While the summer of Punk may have been sunny for CM Punk fans and Internet message boards, it was more of a disappointing season at the box office. The WWE SummerSlam 2011 buyrate is in and let’s just say that the numbers aren’t too kind to CM Punk as a top guy.

Perception isn’t always reality in professional wrestling and it has never been more evident than this past summer. There was more buzz following CM Punk’s RAW Roulette promo than just about anything sans The Rock returning this year. Yet those seven days of buzz was not significant of overall WWE fan interest. Now that the dust has settled, it is fairly apparent that you need a lot more than one week of shock value to sell an angle to the mass WWE audience.

Mike Johnson has the numbers over at PWInsider.com and they aren’t pretty. According to Mike, SummerSlam saw a 14% decrease in buys as compared to last year’s show. The show did 301,000 buys, 127,000 domestic, and 174,000 international. 300,000 buys wouldn’t have been bad for Money in the Bank but not for one of the big four pay per views.

Last year’s SummerSlam headlined by the great Nexus vs. WWE angle did 350,000 buys. The year before, SummerSlam 2009 headlined John Cena vs. Randy Orton, the return of Degeneration X, and Punk vs. Jeff Hardy did 369,000 buys.

To look at the angle as a whole, you have to include the Money in the Bank 2011 buyrate which was 185,000 buys, 132,000 domestic as well as declining ratings over the course of the CM Punk angle. If you combine everything and look at the big picture, you would have to conclude that as much as you may have liked the angle, it was a failure in terms of business.
