We can’t blame Vince this time

- Meltzer confirms it's a new contract with higher "rate" (salary?), and not an extension of the old one.
- Not sure if it's a one-match contract or more than one-match contract, but will probably have more ideas in the future, ie. after the Saudi Arabia match, or after he puts his name in the USADA pool.
- The agreement for Lesnar to stay was made on the Monday RAW go-home show before WrestleMania 34, contract was signed on Sunday before the match.
- Roman Reigns knew about this new deal only on the WrestleMania day, and he was in the mindset that he's winning the championship as he showed up. So his promo on RAW after Mania was somewhat true as well.
- Meltzer is not sure whether Reigns was mad or not. He'll probably be mad if Strowman ends up with the belt (huh.), but that's not the case leading up to WM.
- But as far as the writers concern, and Roman understood it as well, there was absolutely nothing they can do to convince the Mania crowd to cheer for Roman. The crowd would boo Roman no matter what, so Saudi Arabia may be the best bet to crown Roman since he'll probably get much less boo there than in US.
- The idea moving forward, right now, is either Reigns (heavily favored) or Strowman as the champion. But hey, Vince changes his mind all the time.
- Max 5-10 people knew about the change in ending. The original ending to the Mania match was supposed to be when Roman came off the rope and got put in the F5 position, Roman would counter it to a Spear and pin Brock. It was changed to Brock pinning Roman after an F5 so everyone (probably backstage) will not think that Brock has gone off-script and shoot on Roman.
- There were a lot of confusion among the people backstage about that ending, nonetheless, especially when Brock came up and threw the belt at Vince. That's probably just to work the people at the back.
- Meltzer thinks that's a bad vibe since it resembles WCW backstage. He feels that it also has bad impact on the writers and the producers as well, because here they are working for the company, and are not put in the know at all, so your morale would have been really low. Even the people that are usually in for the super insight stuff were not in for this one.
- Just to clarify, the story that Brock is going in this for himself is untrue. Roman got screwed is also untrue.
- Brock has yet to put his name in the USADA testing pool, so until then he'll stay in WWE and obviously, perform. The moment he puts his name in, that's when we can tell "okay he will fight 6 months from now", and probably have a better idea when his contract with WWE is running out.

He has a site, but his inside info in the wwe is gone, so he just says a bunch of obvious stuff to make it seem like it is news. if one sticks he seems like a god but m o st of the time it is fake news. The mma news is more legit but when it comes to wwe, his sources are no longer there
