As noted, there was some concern over what might come out of filmmaker Johnny Bravo's investigation into Roman Reigns and his relationship to jailed steroids dealer Richard Rodriguez, who has named Reigns as one of his customers. The concern is enough that WWE is not booking a few top talents until they are sure that the issues with Reigns in the main event are settled. Braun was originally pulled from the WrestleMania singles match with WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz in case WWE needed to add him to the main event for some reason, perhaps to replace Reigns. There has also been speculation on Braun possibly being added to the main event to make it a Triple Threat with Reigns and WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter adds that the current back-up plan for Strowman, if he's not added to the main event, is for him to do some kind of non-wrestling gimmick segment. No word yet on what that might consist of but we noted before that there was talk of Braun doing a throw-away match or segment at WrestleMania, possibly as a way to show off his strength or something along those lines. It was also noted that Braun could be added to the WWE Intercontinental Title match, as could Samoa Joe if he's able to return. The Intercontinental Title match currently has The Miz defending against Finn Balor and Seth Rollins but there are rumors on more names being added to the match.
 
Deadline reports that WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's legal battle with the Gawker website and founder Nick Denton, and tech titan Peter Thiel, is being developed for a feature film or limited series. David A. Neuman's Blackrock Production has acquired rights to develop and produce Ryan Holiday's "Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker and the Anatomy of Intrigue" book, which was just released last Tuesday and was written with access & cooperation from Hogan, Thiel, Denton, Hogan's lawyer Charles Harder and others. The civil case led to Hogan receiving a $140 million judgment against Gawker Media.
 
TV Title: No TV
Network Title: Sounds like a D+ Player Title
Florida Heavyweight Title: Sure

But I still think there aren't enough NXT Male talents that matter enough to add another title
Don't mind it right now, but I also think this is the deepest roster they've had. They'll have to keep it like this in order for the belt to make sense.
 
This was a really good match and one of the few matches actually restoring that ECW feeling instead of just being used to make ECW talent look second rate

Bob Holly is one tough SOB. WWECW started off good, but once RVD, Sabu and Angle jobbed to drugs and the Benoit tragedy took place it was over. Big Show in probably one of his best roles as a monster heel, Test and Hardcore Holly beating the brakes off of everyone as Heyman’s enforcers. There was some good stuff there. John Morrison and ** **** put on some good matches too
