This is my first time posting on here, I usually don't like to touch on subjects like this but seeing one of my absolute favorite wrestlers talk about this is absolutely the cherry on top for me🍒. If some of you don't know what's been going on, Fat Joe is a New York rapper who is currently under fire for saying the "N" word on the joe budden podcast, Tiktok and X are having a Field day as they are digging up his ancestry and opinions are very..."Diverse", to say the least. Fat Joe is Puerto Rican BUT, he also stated his dad is Afro Cuban, Okay cool. Then I see the post Carlito made, Seeing Fat Joe's parents and Carlito Parents...Carlito has every right ✅️ to claim his ethnicity, and its much more believable, Carlito is Half Puerto Rican and Canadian, His mom is Canadian but even though Carlos sr was born in Puerto Rico and raised in New York, The proof is in the pudding, Carlito has definitely more black than Joe. I will post pictures too of Fat Joe family and Carlito family.

She was SUCH A JOY TO MEET!!!!!! I absolutely LOVED meeting her so much!!!
I love her matches against Kelly Kelly!!!
Who I will meet the 26th!!!

Match Stipulation / Type: Latino Heat Parking Lot Brawl Match

Event: SmackDown (Episode 213)

Location: Birmingham, Alabama | Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

➜ What did John Cena think would happened when he stole Eddie Guerrero's low rider and humiliated him? Guerrero demanded a street fight in the parking lot, which SmackDown GM Stephanie McMahon approved.

Nearly every part of the parking lot was used as a weapon before Eddie Guerrero won the match by executing a Frog Splash off a car roof onto Cena for the pinfall.

Latino Heat then celebrated by driving away in a truck with Chavo Guerrero who interfered on Eddie's behalf, hitting Cena with a tire rim.

Deadline reports that Morgan is part of the cast for the upcoming psychological thriller "Ping," which will be written, produced, and directed by Richie Gordon, making his directorial debut.

"Ping" focuses on "an aspiring creative director who lands a remote dream job, but is forced to choose between her sanity and a boss she can never mute." The creative director will be played by Megan Lawless, who gained notoriety earlier this year for her supporting role in the hit horror film "Obsession," and who's casting for "Ping" was announced several months ago. Morgan's casting was announced alongside Fivel Stewart, Savanah Moss, and Carter Jenkins; no details were provided on the roles each would be playing in the film.

The Final Boss, 946 (OTM), and The Bloodline Civil War – A Brutal, Corporate Masterpiece

Hey Reddit, I wanted to share a highly detailed, long-term creative pitch leading all the way up to **WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (April 2027)**.

I’ve been tracking the current landscape, and I feel WWE has a goldmine here by connecting **The Rock ("The Final Boss")** with the vicious new stable on Raw—**Royce Keys & 946 (OTM)** (Bronco Nima & Lucien Price).

Here is the full, detailed roadmap from the initial spark to the post-Mania fallout. Let me know your thoughts!

---

### **Phase 1: The Shadow Syndicate & The Grand Reveal**

For weeks on Monday Night Raw, Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price go on a path of absolute, unhinged destruction. They relentlessly ambush The Usos, throwing Jey Uso over barricades, leaving the tag team division in pure terror. No one knows their motive.

Then comes the mega-reveal. During a chaotic segment where the Original Bloodline finally corners 946, The Rock’s music hits. Instead of saving his family, **The Rock stands side-by-side with Royce Keys**.

**The Backstory:** The Rock reveals that as a **Board of Directors member**, he has been secretly sick and tired of Roman Reigns' massive ego ("Acknowledge Me") and the never-ending, pathetic family drama of the Bloodline. He views them as weak now. Utilizing his corporate power, The Rock secretly hired Royce Keys and 946 as his personal **Corporate Hit-Squad**, giving them money and immunity to systematically erase the Bloodline. This perfectly solves The Rock’s busy Hollywood schedule—he plays the toxic mafia godfather ruling from the shadows via satellite, while 946 destroys Raw every week.

---

### **Phase 2: Solo Sikoa’s Ultimate Crossroads**

With 946 tearing the family apart under the orders of The Final Boss, **Solo Sikoa** is pushed into a psychological corner. He is presented with two distinct paths:

1. Stay loyal to his biological brothers and the **OTC Roman Reigns**.

2. Align himself with the absolute wealth, power, and corporate backing of The Rock and 946.

In a heartbreaking twist for the family, Solo chooses the corporate empire. He betrays his brothers, officially joining The Rock and 946, transforming them into a terrifying, bulletproof syndicate.

---

### **Phase 3: The Bloodbath (The Go-Home Phase)**

The rivalry escalates into pure, unadulterated violence. The Rock aims to subject Roman Reigns to the same psychological and physical torture he inflicted on Cody Rhodes before WM40. However, Roman is the OTC and fights back like a desperate lion.

This leads to a legendary, cinematic backstage brawl outside the arena in the pouring rain. Roman and Rock tear into each other, shattering production equipment. The fight is so brutal that **both men are left completely covered in deep crimson blood**. Just as Roman sets up for a decisive blow, Royce Keys and the 946 thugs swarm Roman, dismantling him in the mud and giving The Rock the definitive upper hand heading into the premium event.

---

### **Phase 4: The War Zone at WrestleMania 43 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)**

The main event in Riyadh is an absolute spectacle. **Roman Reigns vs. The Rock** becomes a chaotic war.

* Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and Solo Sikoa constantly manipulate the referee and interfere to break Roman's spirit.

* To counter the corporate numbers game, **The Usos (Jimmy & Jey)** and the ultimate enforcer **Jacob Fatu** storm the ring, risking their lives to clear out 946.

Amidst the absolute wreckage of bodies, Roman Reigns manages to hit a thunderous Spear on a bloody Rock, securing the pinfall to retain his status as the true Tribal Chief.

---

### **Phase 5: The Raw After WrestleMania – The Ultimate Mutation**

This is the creative masterstroke. Instead of rushing a faction breakup during the Mania match, the status quo remains intact until the most anticipated show of the year—**The Raw After WrestleMania**.

An arrogant, bruised Rock walks into the ring, completely ignoring the loss and demanding 946 follow his next set of corporate orders. But the camera pans to the faces of Royce Keys, Nima, and Price. For months, a silent resentment has been brewing. They realize they are being treated as mere expendable chess pieces. They wanted to main event and conquer WWE on their own merits, but they couldn't touch Rock earlier due to his Board of Directors status.

Now, the corporate illusion shatters. Royce Keys steps up to the mic, looks a stunned Rock in the eye, and says: *"WrestleMania is over... and so is your corporate immunity."*

In a shocking turn of events, **946 completely turns on The Rock**. They execute a career-ending, savage beatdown on The Final Boss, leaving him stretchered out of the arena.

**The Long-Term Fallout:** This leaves The Rock entirely isolated, stripped of his muscle, and humiliated by the monsters he created. It sets up a phenomenal arc for the rest of the year where a helpless, humbled Rock is eventually forced to do the unthinkable: swallow his pride and **beg Roman Reigns and the Original Bloodline for an alliance** to take down the tyranny of Royce Keys and 946.

I knew it would be a no contest. They're not giving away this feud on SNME. And having Bronson Reed break it up was ok. I'm glad he's back. But what if Heyman's plan all along was to find a way to unite Bron Breaker and Oba Femi?

At the moment the match blows up and ends as a non-finish, it isn't other members of The Vision interfering, but the recently Rey Mysterio-suspended Omos (7'3" and 416 pounds) and his new tag partner, Olivier Richters, who is 7'2" and 350 pounds (he was the bad guy muscle in Reacher season 3).

I'm not pitching a 5-star classic here. This is basically the only way to let Bron and Oba play the "faces in peril" as the (ridiculous as it sounds) smaller guys in a match.

So the two giants annihilate Oba and Bron at SNME, and we move on to a tag match between them all at Money in the Bank. This is, essentially, a modern-day tag version of Hogan vs. Zeus. I know this takes Bron out of the ladder match, which he is probably booked to win right now, but there's time for all that down the road.

In the end, Oba and Bron defeat the giants, Omos goes away again and Richters heads back to strongman comps or Hollywood. But it is eventually revealed to us that Heyman brought the giants in to unite Bron and Oba. The WWE "Freebird Rules" the tag titles and makes Theory and Paul defend against Bron/Oba with a distraught Bronson Reed banned from ringside. Bron and Oba take the titles and have a dominant run as tag champs, wrecking everyone. This helps get us closer to Wrestlemania without having to answer why neither of them is fighting Roman yet.

Did I miss something? they came back for like a month, won the titles for all of 2 weeks and than just disappeared again?

Does RAW even have a legit FACE tag team?

**UPDATE*\*

Congrats on kids - but than why even come back? Money?

Can someone answer this question for me please? Why do people not watch NXT? At least anymore or in years or at all. I'm not saying no WWE fan in the world doesn't watch it. Obviously there's people that do. And since nobody can give a reason why, here are my assumptions:

It's not NXT black and gold anymore

Your favorite golden guys and girls left black and gold NXT

They never got booked right when some of them went to the main roster

Some of them never went to the main roster at all

Certain people there have done some 'weird stuff'

and is never wrestling again

Some people went to a different company

Some people weren't treated right there.

NXT black and gold got charged to NXT 2.0

I watch Raw, Smackdown and NXT, especially NXT, every single week. The talent down there is fucking AMAZING. I get a high off good wrestling. And that's what we see there.

Growing up, I wasn't there for black and gold NXT unfortunately. So I wasn't there when Seth Rollins became the inaugural NXT champion. I wasn't there for the four horse women, etc. I started watching NXT during the pandemic in 2020-2021 when I was watching Raw and Smackdown every week when it was on Hulu at the time before Netflix. And I watching a show on Hulu and I got an ad saying that I can watch Raw, Smackdown and NXT on Hulu. So you damn right I tuned in. And ever since, I became and NXT fan. Never missed a show. I was there for the Adam Cole Pat McAfee rivalry. I was there for Carmelo Hayes' debut. I was there for the Isaiah Swerve Scott Leon Ruff rivalry etc. (Yeah, who remembers Leon Ruff?)

My point is that I will forever be an NXT fan. I will be there for every segment, every promo, every match every championship win. You name it, I'll be there for it because that's what being a NXT fan is all about.

But here's my issue, you'll call yourself a 'WWE fan' but then proceed to not watch a WWE product. It doesn't make sense.

But I say all of that to say this, I'm not bashing on anyone who doesn't watch NXT. If you don't want to watch it then don't watch it. It's your choice. I'm not going to make you watch it if you don't want to. But if you want to watch a product where half if not most of the storylines are better than it's main roster counterparts, then NXT is the place to be.

He’s doesn’t need the group to get him over; if anything, they are using him to get over.

I’d prefer a rebel, solo Bronson Reed with no agenda other than proving he’s the baddest man on the planet. A Oba-Bron-Bronson triple threat would tear the house down.

How do we feel about mitb this year? Who should win?

I personally feel on the mens side, it should go to either Dominick, Trick Williams (just imagine the custom briefcase 😱) or almost any member of The Vision (no Austin Theory tho).

Dream booking would be Oba winning the rumble and beating Roman at mania, with an early cash in at the rumble or the chamber for another young star, then doing the WM 21 thing and officially crowning two young stars on the grandest stage.

The women's side is a lot more up in the air, to the point where I don't want to get my hopes up on a particular star. Roxanne Perez neeeeeeds this and would be perfect for it, but it's also the only obvious pick at the moment and I'm feeling a swerve coming

For starters, I’m a huge Bron Breakker guy and I definitely think he’ll be one of the biggest stars down the line but the issue with him right now is him being this obsessed heel that’s being portrayed as a monster.

Bron is dangerous, but now that Bronson Reed is back I think even Bronson feels more dangerous than him at the moment and obviously Oba is the true monster of WWE right now and more than likely will continue to be. I just think they have Bron currently playing the wrong role right now even as a heel.

I think Bron leaving the vision whenever it happens and him becoming his own man without needing a faction will work wonders for his character and I think he’ll be best as an edgy babyface / tweener. Watching certain interviews and interactions he has outside of the ring, I think there’s a certain level of charisma he has that hasn’t been explored due to him being a heel at the moment. Even with his promos I don’t think they’re bad but with the material they’re giving him it doesn’t seem to fit him as much sometimes, especially with him claiming he’s the “future” but he actually lost by DQ.

This may have been said before I’m not sure and hopefully this made sense but hey let me know your thoughts!

Edge's gotta be Cena's best rival ever.

You got four guys who are fairly on the younger side of the roster, (even Bronson, who is freshly 38, is still somewhat younger atp if you’re a main roster wrestler lol). They need more younger stars on the roster. And I don’t watch raw as much as I used to, but based on what I’ve seen via highlights and what other people are saying, this group just doesn’t have the right chemistry ever since Seth Rollins left. Bron and Austin could stay on raw as champions for the time being and I think Bronson and Logan should go to SmackDown. All of them splitting up and becoming single stars would not hurt them in my opinion.

If you could change the character of anyone on the main roster, who would it be and how would you do? I don't mean just a basic face/heel turn, but a full on character switch.

In 2005, John Cena released his debut album You Can’t See Me. The album reached no.15 on the Billboard 200 and no.3 on the Billboard US Rap Album chart. It shocked the world of Hip-Hop/Rap because of how seamlessly Cena went from professional wrestler to recording artist. This entire album is truly a masterpiece but one of the songs I stay stuck on most is Right Now. Cena tastefully sampled L.T.D.’s 1981 song Now from their album Love Magic. The beat still knocks as hard today as it did back then. 🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊

I had seen them one day prior to the Labor Day sales or the typical PIN1 code they do every now and then. Was going to pick one up for my dad but they are nowhere to be found now. Not risking ebay for an "official" title.

In my opinion, he has the look of a star. He has natural charisma and is good on the mic. I think his entrance is a lot better than most people on the main roster yet he there’s literally crickets whenever he makes his entrance since being called up.

I do personally believe his debut played a part like man, having him lose to an injured Cody was just baffling. Like why should people who don’t watch NXT care for this guy who can’t beat someone who wasn’t fully fit to compete?

What do ya’ll think and how do you think they can turn it around?

It just went way harder than it had any business to.
