RUSEV AS THE U.S. CHAMPION, REIGNS OUT UNTIL RUMBLE?, MORE ECW ON THE NETWORK AND MORE

While its unfortunate that Roman Reigns is out with a hernia, its great news that the surgery was a success. With that said, do you think the best case scenario is actually to keep Reigns off WWE TV until the Royal Rumble? Even if he's cleared to return before then, a surprise return to the Rumble and winning it could really be what he needs to push him over the top as a mega star. As they say, absence makes the heart fonder as we've seen various stars return at the Rumble after an extended absence... except in the case of Batista.

I could see them keeping Roman out until the Rumble if the talent pool wasn't so thin, but it's probably in their best interest to get him back ASAP. My gut is he's back no later than Survivor Series, but you never know - it all depends on how his recovery goes.

I'm not sure if there is a reason, but why is it that in any type of tag match on TV, the faces are always in the upper lefthand corner and the heels are always in the lower righthand corner?

Yes, they are always in that position so the production crew can film around them.

Tell me..... I did not just see that! Stephanie McMahon actually referenced the past by saying everybody they throw out ALWAYS comes back. Is there hope... or a one time shot at remembering the past?

There's always hope.

Now that rusev has defeated mark Henry what do you think about him setting his sites on the US title? Sure, it would be better if the man holding the title were american. But sheamus and rusev would have some great matches and Rusev winning the us title and renaming it the Russian heavyweight championship or something to the effect would draw major heat. Your thoughts?

I actually like that idea a lot. It's obvious they are building Rusev for a main event position, so it's entirely possible he will forgo the U.S. title, but your idea is a good, sound one.

When will WWE add new episodes of ECW and World Class to the Network?

We haven't heard a timetable on that, but hopefully soon.
