  • WWE Teasing The Shield vs. Wyatt Family, Paige & Jo Jo Offerman Controversy

    – WWE.com has a poll up asking fans which stable would in win a 6-man tag team match, The Shield or the Wyatt Family. With 457,000 votes cast, here are the current results:

    • 44% – The Shield
    • 56% – The Wyatt Family

    – NXT Women’s Champion Paige continues to get very strong feedback for her work at WWE developmental. One of the main reasons the self proclaimed “Anti-Diva” has not yet been called up to the main roster is because WWE has an unwritten rule that their talent should be at least 21 years old before they go on the road. Paige turns 21 on August 17th.

    That said, there are some people in the locker room questioning why WWE broke that rule with Total Divas cast member Jo Jo Offerman, who is only 19 years old.

    As for Jo Jo’s relationship with Justin Gabriel on Total Divas, there is talk of Justin Gabriel taking advantage of the teenage Diva, which would lead to a heel turn for the South African native.

    WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated the Q&A Section of JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some of the highlights:

    Steve Austin’s Lack of Presence On WWE A Sign He’s Not Into Wrestling Anymore?

    “You couldn’t be more wrong. Steve loves the wrestling business and the fans. Just showing up to make an obligatory appearance on RAW makes no sense. There needs to be a reason to be there and when all the creative forces converge I’m sure that he will be making the occasional appearance. He is busy…he has a new job…some fans simply don’t get it. Hopefully you ‘re not one of them.”

    Will The Undertaker Be At WrestleMania XXX & Will It Be His Final Match?

    “Don’t know about last ride, retirement, etc but I do think that Taker wrestles at WM30 in New Orleans. Opponent to be determined. ”

    The Miz’s 24-Hour IC Title Reign:

    “No issues here…it made for some unpredictable TV. I hope the IC Title is made to be more important.”

    NXT Divas Paige & Summer Rae Getting Called Up:

    “When the two ladies you spoke of are ready they will be called up. I think both need more time in NXT. Life on the road is hard and takes preparation. Let’s allow them to improve and better prepare for the grueling road schedule that awaits them. There is no hurry.”
