Florida, December 16 — WWE superstar Liv Morgan found herself in legal trouble on Thursday following a routine traffic stop in Sumter County, Florida. The incident unfolded when a sheriff's deputy pulled Morgan over for crossing over the white and yellow lines of a County Road. Subsequently, the officer detected the scent of marijuana during the interaction, leading to a search of Morgan's vehicle. ## The search revealed a "small plastic bag containing marijuana" and a vape pen containing an "oil-like substance," later identified as marijuana. The charges against Morgan include possession of marijuana (not exceeding 20 grams) and possession of drugs, potentially synthetic cannabinoids. ## In the state of Florida, marijuana is legal for purchase with a prescription, adding a layer of complexity to the situation. Morgan has already been bonded out following the arrest. ## According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, WWE has taken a supportive stance toward Morgan, with "absolutely no heat" on her following the incident. Quotes obtained from WWE personnel shed light on the situation. ## A staff member stated, "Liv has not been on TV, did not alter creative plans, and was honest about the situation. There are no issues with her whatsoever.” ## A top WWE star echoed this sentiment, saying, "Everybody liked Liv before, everybody still likes Liv. We'll get our jokes off, and she'll get hers off, and nobody will be thinking about it soon enough.” ## It's important to note that while marijuana is part of the WWE Wellness Policy, the company hasn't tested for it in years. In the past, a positive test would result in a $2500 fine. The leniency regarding marijuana aligns with changing attitudes and legislation surrounding the substance in various parts of the United States. The WWE's understanding response reflects a broader shift in societal perspectives on marijuana use. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Stamford, December 16 - On the latest installment of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns, during the Bloodline segment, designated Solo Sikoa as the "Tribal Heir," signifying him as the successor to the Tribal Chief should any unforeseen circumstances arise. This decision didn't sit well with Jimmy Uso, as Solo emerged as the apparent heir to the Tribal Chief.## This development led to a dramatic encounter involving Randy Orton, who attempted to execute an RKO on Roman Reigns, only for Reigns to skillfully evade the maneuver.## Later in the show, a backstage segment unfolded featuring The Bloodline. Reigns took the opportunity to discuss the matter of handling Randy Orton, emphasizing the potential consequences if Jimmy Uso couldn't manage the situation independently. In response, Uso uttered the catchphrase "Yeet," a term associated with Jey Uso. However, Jimmy promptly backtracked on his statement, leaving Reigns visibly displeased. ## Notably, WWE has taken steps to formalize this new storyline development. On December 15, 2023, the company filed a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the "Tribal Heir" moniker.

Stamford, December 16 - WWE has been consistently revisiting past pay-per-view themes for NXT over the years, such as No Mercy, Halloween Havoc, and Great American Bash. In a surprising move, the company is extending this practice to the main roster for SmackDown. Given the upcoming Christmas break, WWE granted the talent and crew time off and pre-recorded the December 22nd episode. ## During the taped show, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight stepped into the ring to state their cases for facing Roman Reigns. Consequently, a triple threat match was scheduled for the New Year's Revolution episode of WWE SmackDown. The victor of this match would earn the opportunity to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. ## It's worth noting that WWE previously organized three New Year's Revolution events from 2005 to 2007. The inaugural show featured a headline match pitting Triple H against Batista, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, and Edge in an Elimination Chamber match for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, with Shawn Michaels serving as the special guest referee. ## The subsequent year saw John Cena defending the WWE Championship against Carlito, Chris Masters, Kane, Kurt Angle, and Shawn Michaels in an Elimination Chamber match. Cena managed to retain, only for Edge to seize the title through the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in immediately following the match. ## At the third and final New Year's Revolution event, Cena defended the WWE Title against Umaga. These nostalgic callbacks to past events add an intriguing layer of anticipation for the upcoming showdowns on SmackDown and the Royal Rumble. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
