STRIPPING ASUKA, CELEBRITIES VISITING WWE, ENZO HEAT FOR CASS INJURY? AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2017-08-24 10:00:00

With the Mae Young Classic currently underway what are the chances of WWE possibly signing certain stars from the tournament?

Given the fact they signed talents from the Cruiserweight Classic and the UK Championship tournaments, I would say pretty darn good.

s NXT is a training ground for all facets of professional wrestling, I assume that they are training people to become new members of the creative team on the main roster. Is it possible that former NXT students who are a part of their creative team are a part of the issue with the creative team on the main roster?

To say that writers being trained in the WWE system is the problem with WWE from a creative end is silly. There is one man who directs the flow of creative, so the blame (and the credit) falls on his shoulders, and that's Vince McMahon. 

Do you see Enzo Amore getting heat for Big Cass getting hurt?

I don't see how anyone could look at that footage and see it as anything but a freak accident.  I don't think anyone deserves heat or blame for the injury.

Should WWE strip Asuka of the WWE NXT Women's title?

If it is up to me, no.  The brand isn't going to lose people viewing or going to shows because the title isn't on the line and the company doesn't have another Takeover until November.  Asuka's character is that she is arrogant and believes she is better than anyone else.  She can easily say that there's no competition and she won't defend again until she feels there is competition.  NXT runs a storyline to see who the next challenger is and when Asuka is ready, they pull the trigger on that match.

When celebrities come to WWE, how is that set up?  I don't see Macauly Culkin just randomly going to the back door of Summerslam asking to be let in.

WWE has staff that deal with requests from celebrity management teams and will set up visits.  They also have celebrities who they specifically invite to come to the show or celebrities who are friendly with talents and in those cases, the talents make the requests.
