Reason why Rey Mysterio won't sign a new WWE deal
Rey Mysterio was one of the surprise entrants in the Men's Royal Rumble match on Sunday night, and he did not fail to deliver in his first WWE appearance since 2015, and his first WWE match since he faced Bad News Barrett on the Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania 30 in 2014.
The Master of the 619 made his WWE return and did not disappoint fans inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, as not only did he eliminate Adam Cole from the match, but he also delivered 619s to several superstars including Roman Reigns and John Cena.
Mysterio was also part of a cool moment between the superstars of the past and future, as he alongside Cena and Randy Orton stared down Reigns, Finn Balor, and Shinsuke Nakamura in the middle of the ring before The Demon King eliminated him from the match, ending his Rumble time in just under nine-and-a-half minutes.
Rey's Royal Rumble appearance left many fans to question if the Mexican superstar had returned to the WWE or if this was just a one-off appearance. The monster pop which he received upon his return certainly caught WWE officials' attention, so there's a real chance he could be coming back.
However, PWInsider has reported that his appearance was organized just over the last week and it's just a one-time thing right now. It doesn’t mean he won’t be making more appearance anytime soon, but don't expect anything more from him for now.
In a later report, PWInsider stated that the same problems which have been around for the past year still linger, and this is stopping Mysterio from signing a new WWE deal, as the company wants him back full-time, while the 43-year-old would rather work a part-time schedule.

Welp....
we won't see him for about a year and a half...and when he does come back, he can finally pull the Rock move and go full on heel.

Vince needs to put everything behind Braun.
He will/could have a great run as a face champion whooping ass left and right.
They need to turn Reigns heel to Braun's face.
Damn I had to do a double take on Barry. He looked like Ole for a minute. He is Mulligan's son that is for sure.
Triple H Gets Control Of WWE 205 Live
The Chairman steps aside.
WWE.com
Those who've tuned into WWE 205 Live over the past few weeks will have noticed a clear shift away from the 'Raw Lite' format that had defined the show since its inception, and towards a style more in line with 2016's Cruiserweight Classic, with in-ring action given a stronger focus.
According to PWInsider, these changes are down to a significant backstage power shift. Vince McMahon has reportedly stepped away from producing the show, handing over the reins to Triple H, who has installed Drake Maverick as General Manager, and started a 16-man tournament to crown a new Cruiserweight Champion at WrestleMania 34.
As per PWI, WWE had spent the past few months discussing 205's failure, with Enzo Amore brought in to transition towards a more character-driven show. This failed, and WWE have now shifted to the Cruiserweight Classic's blueprint, with the show eschewing overlong talking segments and Raw/SmackDown-style dramatics.
205's new form is reportedly what WWE had originally planned for the show before McMahon became personally involved. He stepped aside in mid-January, and Triple H will now attempt to salvage the brand by presenting strong, athletic characters in exciting matches.

Motherfucker almost died
That's a induction I never thought I'll see until JJ had passed on. I can see him replacing Daniel Bryan when his contract expires in October.
