BATISTA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WWE, UNIVERSAL FORCING TNA SCHEDULE CHANGES AND MORE

When a wrestler's contract is about to expire, in this case The Bella Twins of WWE fame, has there been any attempt to convince them to resign? To stay? Offer benefits such as a raise in pay. More time off. Things like that. Is it WWE's policy to let the contract expire without any effort on their part? Has WWE ever made any strong strides toward resigning someone in the past?

WWE wanted the Bellas to stay. It was their choice to leave the company.

What's the latest on the lawsuit filed by former TNA Knockout star Daffney against TNA? I think it was about TNA's failure in paying her hospital bills due to suffering from a concussion after her match over a year ago with Rosie Lottalove.

The lawsuit is still ongoing as of this writing. They have not settled the issue.

Is Traci Brooks still with TNA? If not what's the latest on her?

Brooks was released by TNA. She's moved onto the next stage of her life and is happily married to Kazarian.

Has any changes or any new additions/attractions within Universal Studios ever affected TNA tapings or TNA itself in any way, shape or form? Is tapings schedules pretty much the same since its beginning at Universal Studios? Any forced changes? Time? Things like that

The only attraction that I can think of would have been the Halloween Horror event, as areas surrounding the Impact Zone would be needed for line management for the soundstages turned into haunted houses.

Brock Lesnar has retured to the WWE fold after a long absence. Could Batista be far behind?

There's been no indication that Batista is interested in returning, but when I interviewed him earlier this year, he noted that if and when he returned, he would be back for a long term final run, not a one shot appearance. Batista is still on good terms with the company but didn't personally like the product once it turned into a PG style presentation and wanted to go and do different things.
