LESNAR WRESTLING ON RAW?, GLOW ON NETFLIX AND MORE

It's great to see Brock Lesnar is going to start showing up again, but any chance of him actually wrestling on Raw?

There's always a chance, but he shouldn't be wrestling on Raw.  He's a performer that WWE needs to use to draw money and the best way to do that is to use TV to build storylines that pay off when he's on PPV/WWE Network specials.

WWE, specifically Kevin Owens theme song opened up tonight's Game 6 NBA Playoff game between the Celtics and Wizards.  WWE, has to be happy about that.   Question is does the NBA have to get permission to use WWE theme music during its games?

No.  If they are playing the music at the event, there's no rights involved as it's picked up in the background over the broadcast.  If they were specifically playing it through their production system as part of the telecast, it would likely be a different set of rules.  WWE doesn't have to approve it in this instance.

I watched the GLOW documentary and it was obvious Mr. Fiji wasn't doing too well health-wise.  Any idea how she is today?

I haven't heard anything specifically about her health getting worse, so hopefully she is doing OK.  I believe she is still on the West Coast.

Is the new GLOW series going to be wrestling-centric or comedy like the first version?

Neither.  The show is a new series telling the story of an actress entering women's professional wrestling in the 1980s.  It's a comedy set in that time period, not a new in-ring product.

Any word on the return of Lucha Underground?

It is scheduled to return to The El Rey Network on 5/31.
