Fight or flight
It seemed for a while like Drew McIntyre’s claim to have single-handedly broken The Shield was just posturing, but The Scottish Psychopath has now beaten two of the three Hounds of Justice and left the third, Roman Reigns, in such a heap he couldn’t make last week’s show. McIntyre leveled an official WrestleMania challenge at The Big Dog in the hopes of completing the trifecta, and while Reigns has yet to address the challenge, the clock is ticking. Now the former Universal Champion, who only just returned to the ring after his battle with leukemia, finds himself with a poignant decision: Accept the challenge and defend his brothers’ legacy, or decline and all but concede that someone else runs his yard.
The Phoenix Saga
Beth Phoenix offered to end her retirement and challenge The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania, but the title picture isn’t quite that cut-and-dry. Nia Jax & Tamina are still lurking around the edges and The IIconics pinned the champs on SmackDown LIVE, not to mention the match isn’t even official yet. The Glamazon’s obviously been putting in the work and her big gambit might yet pay off, but with a long hiatus behind her and a crowded field in front of her, the WWE Hall of Famer’s return could just as easily flame out before it starts.
Family affair
When Ronda Rousey said she was going to throw out the rulebook in the final push to WrestleMania, she really meant it: One week after slugging an official, The Baddest Woman on the Planet brought her husband, Travis Browne, to ringside and he didn’t hesitate to get involved in another scrum following Rousey’s evisceration of Dana Brooke. In fact, both Rousey and Browne laid out a member of the security squad hired to prevent further incidents. Rousey’s last infraction resulted in an undisclosed fine. Now that she’s bringing civilians into the fray, there’s no telling what repercussions await … if any.
