ROH AND EVOLVE ON THE WWE NETWORK, CODY'S MOONSAULT, WAS CABANA ON WWE WEBSITE TO LURE BACK PUNK AND MORE

I'm probably being hopelessly optimistic in my response to the WWE.com article on ROH here but could this be a sign of some kind of arrangement/partnership with them and WWE? Could you conceive WWE providing ROH, Evolve and DGUSA with slots on the WWE Network to air their iPPVs?

That's never, ever going to happen. WWE puts a premium on their production and on owning their content. They aren't going to give anyone else space on their Network, especially with content they don't produce and own.

Do you see the ROH article as an olive branch to CM Punk showing them that they respect where he's from and that they're going to take these guys seriously. If anything what I took away from it was "oh look we gave your buddy Colt Cabana some love, please come back".

Absolutely not. The article was being put together before Punk left WWE and a number of the interviews were conducted before he left as well. I wouldn't be surprised to find out material with Punk was edited out of the piece.

Do you think The Shield vs. Bray Wyatt will be an Elimination Chamber match or just a normal elimination match?

We haven't heard of it being a stipulation bout. My guess is that we are going to just see a really good six man brawl.

Any chance ROH winds up as a program on the WWE Network?

No.

Just watched the tag title cage match from Raw. Road Dogg pretty much moved out of the way the moonsault. Is there any heat on him for not taking the bump and dropping Cody flat on his face?

No, that was the plan to set up the finish.
