Important EGG news

Cleopatra's egg left Survivor Series as the situation with the most stakes. Tonight, WWE extends their promotional deal with Red Notice.

We're told that one of the primary plans going around as of today was Austin Theory to be tied into it, with him getting some sort of opportunity out of the angle. Originally we're told the pitch was "much worse" than whatever the final plan will be. 

We're told that that the price tag associated with promoting Red Notice on WWE programming to this degree is "insane," with some backstage hearing it was rumored to be in the seven figures.

You know WWE is in trouble when they care more about getting promotional deals with companies to promote DURING their wrestling events. The zombie match was silly--I know it was a big pay day, but it was obvious and silly. And then they decide Pizza , Red Notice and sucking up to the Rock was the most important thing. At what point is every wrestler is dressed like a nascar driver with a jump suit with patches from every sponsor? Nick Khan can make deals, but he has no idea on what a true superstar wrestler is worth, I think because he'd rather have anybody than pay a true superstar.

Basically, what you're telling us is that we're in for an eggcellently sour version of Sour Graps tonight? Looking forward to it as usual! :)

How "much worse" can Vince booking be? Oh wait, nevermind. It's bottomless.

So this whole damn thing is once again tied around money…smh. They made a joke of Survivor Series in the name of making money.

Travis Selvidge

Thank you for this vitally important update on Fightful Select.

Lewis Carlan

I'd usually be very nEggative about something like this, but omelet it play out. I hope they poached a fun storyline from a better written show, like N-Eggs-T.

Michael Adams

Much worse like Sonya framing Naomi?

Jester Designs

Sports entertainment pal.

Randy Peace

Wrestling in 2021 is fucking weird, bro...

The egg will be the new Raw GM

Ant

"budget cuts" while getting paid by Netflix huh

Jose Bautista

" Originally we're told the pitch was "much worse" than whatever the final plan will be." This is gonna be gold.

Simon Renshaw

Sounds like Austin Theory will be dressed up as The Gobbledy Gooker lol.

Was that intentional?

Jordan Lassiter

For every cool moment we've had in wrestling in 2021 the universe has to restore balance by giving us stuff like this.

Insomnia Inc

Y'know, if the story is Theory deciding to play private detective to find the egg that might work? We saw on NXT that goofy himbo is character type he's genuinely great at

Talia

The plan was much worse than this?? Oy vey.

Sheila Antonio

And they try to tell us long term storytelling is dead… hope this goes on for 6 months!

Jack Rasberry

It’s definitely the Gobbledy Gooker
