Dralistico/WWE, Paul Heyman, John Cena Classic Update (Patreon)
Content
Dralistico & WWE:WrestleVotes on Fightful Select asked about the rumblings surrounding Dralistico and learned that WWE is expected to show interest if and when his availability becomes clearer.There's a feeling that Dralistico could be a significant acquisition for the WWE main roster and AAA if he becomes a free agent.A source also confirmed that there is locker room support for Dralistico, although given some of the relationships he already has in WWE, that is not surprising.As it stands, it is believed that Dralistico's contract with AEW runs into December.
Paul Heyman update:According to those with knowledge of the situation, there is a working creative idea that would see Paul Heyman return to television relatively soon. The potential idea would involve Heyman in something outside of The Vision, although not completely dissociating from that storyline.As it stands, the creative direction would allow Heyman to branch out into another program while still maintaining some connection to The Vision, specifically Bron Breakker.
John Cena Classic speculation:The assumption backstage at Monday Night Raw was that John Cena's return to WWE TV on November 2nd in Brooklyn will be tied to the John Cena Classic, with the expectation being that we'll finally get the announcement of where, when, and how.Since Cena first made the announcement in May, WrestleVotes on Fightful Select was told there have been an incredible number of meetings and creative discussions about the project, with the company wanting to ensure it looks and feels fresh.We're told various individuals who don't typically weigh in on these types of projects were consulted, including NXT's Shawn Michaels and A.J. Styles.While the initial idea was pitched as a showcase and a milestone program for Club WWE, a source indicates that the event will likely be streamed elsewhere to allow for broader visibility and reach.
