Everyone online keeps talking about Nia Jax walking out, even though she is still advertised for lots of events and that never stopped. What is the deal there?
The deal is that Jax was taken off the road and did miss some scheduled work this week related to Total Divas. Sources in the company have denied she ever walked out. I have heard from a source that Jax may be dealing with a back issue, which makes a lot more sense than she randomly "walked out." Alexa Bliss did an interview with the New York Post where she noted that sometimes talents get burnt out, mentally and physically and need a break. I think that's all this really is and a lot of people put 1 and 2 together and somehow came up with 4,500.
I wanna get your thoughts on the TLC situation with AJ Styles jumping in for Wyatt and Kurt Angle returning as a replacement for Reigns. I get that WWE had to react in some way and there wasn’t much time to think about it, but in my opinion they made the wrong move. Why not have Demon Balor or even Jason Jordan replace Reigns,? Having AJ Styles help out on a Raw PPV is perfectly fine with me, but still, this is a Wrestlemania worthy dream match happening without any buildup. And the return of Kurt Angle also is kinda wasted. What’s your take on it?
I think WWE was under the gun and wanted to make sure they gave the audience a spectacle to make up for losing the Shield reunion. Did they rush Kurt Angle's return and AJ vs. Balor? Absolutely. Did they do so to give the audience something the company thinks would be special? Absolutely again and they are doing it by sacrificing potential Wrestlemania moments. While I can see why you might devise other ways the company could have filled the gaps left by sickness (and I was doing so yesterday in conversation yesterday as well), but in this moment, they aren't worried about long-term plans, just whay they can do to give the fans who bought tickets to the show and the fans watching the PPV something special on Sunday.
Great site as I visit every day. It’s nice to see credible wrestling reporting versus the rumor mill that appears on the internet far too often. On to the question. Kane returns at the end of RAW, great moment. I agree that he should be saved for special occasions, but in this case it seems that he will be the one to lose the match to ‘protect’ the others. Is WWE so afraid to let anyone lose this match that is an active wrestler? Beating an active wrestler to gain any momentum seems better than beating an ‘attraction’. Your thoughts?
I think Kane was added to give The Shield an even bigger mountain to climb. Whether he is involved in the finish isn't as important as the idea of him being another danger to the team.
Do you ever see WWE buying another touring company, like Disney on Ice or Harlem Globetrotters?
You never know what WWE might want to invest in down the line, but I don't see the company doing that anytime soon.
Any chance of a Sami Zayn DVD to compliment the Kevin Owens DVD?
Down the line, sure, but as of right now, that's not on the 2018 DVD calendar.
