Apparently we're gonna get Balor vs Gunther at Crown Jewel. The original plan was Punk vs Owens, but they have no intentions on traveling to Riyadh(at least they care about their health), which explains why their match is on the SmackDown episode before Crown Jewel. Balor and Gunther will replace the two, they've already advertised the match all over Saudi.

I have viewed The R's most recent message & I just want say this.....@Chad I'm Sorry. I didn't want to turn this situation into something bigger than it needed to be, I shouldn't have called you out. I can give you a chance. I just feel like Smackdown hotel is a place to post your wrestling facts, recent information, & all of that. I feel like the negativity was unnecessary to begin with.

  @Draysin Martin Same here, after reading Mr The R.’s comment, i felt like there were times i think was unnecessary of me to have replied back hostile when i could have done something different. But at the same time i felt that there were times Chad should have been picked some of his words better… I apologize for all my nuisance at this website towards Chad and hope that SmackDownHotel still can be a website that everyone can freely share what they think and view.

TNA roster looks great!
Here are some fixes though for the roster:

For the remaining Men's Mid Card: John Skyler, Joseph Sawyer, Ryan Nemeth, Special Agent 0, Vincent, Rich Swann, Ricky Sosa.

For the Remaining Men's Low Card: Mr. Elegance & Joe Alonzo.

Erick Redbeard should be taken off the roster since I don't believe he's signed to TNA.

For the Women's roster, for the Upper Card: Indi Hartwell, Xia Brookside, should be listed in the upper card.

For the Mid Card: Shayna Baszler, Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance, Tasha Steelz, Kiera Hogan, Harley Hudson, Jada Stone & Rosemary.

For the Low Card: Mila Moore & Gabby Forza.

Hopefully this helps!!

  @Davey Castegnaro Thanks so much for the input Davey! A colleague of mine and I actually just had a conversation about the card status of the roster. So we are currently working on updating the current status of each. Once that's updated I'll go through and do historical card status for the roster.

I've been on this site a very, very, VERY long time. Honestly, I've forgotten how many years.
Over that time, I've seen the same patterns again and again.
Every once in a while, some idiot comes along and tries to be funny or hostile or offensive. And because they get away with it a few times - usually just have comments removed or hidden - they think they can do it forever. Then one day they just......stop posting. Usually because a mod has had enough.
I get that if someone is baiting you it's difficult to hold back, sometimes. But honestly, that's just encouraging the troll more. The best way is to treat them like a ghost; don't respond, flag the comment and let a mod do their job. Trust me - eventually it works. The SDH has a small team, but things have improved a LOT around here in recent years. They do deal with stuff - it just might take a little time.

One other thing I want to say is that the SDH is for everyone. Getting in someone's face because they're attacking you is one thing, but I've seen multiple instances of the same three or four accounts dog-piling someone just for having a different opinion. And that's something the mods will notice, too.
I get that people want this to be a nice place to chat, but there's a fine line between keeping the trash out and smothering anyone who disagrees with you.

  @The R i wouldn’t say dog pile… but i agree with you. I do want to be as positive as i can be on this website. Because everyone here is sharing about what they saw or know, I too do the same. I respect you for your views on this. Thank you for pointing it out.
