With the announcement that Daniel Bryan has been reinstated, is it possible WWE could bring back Paige?

It's entirely possible she could ask them to reconsider, although her issues (neck) are vastly different from Daniel Bryan's issues.  My feeling is that we won't see her return to the ring under the WWE umbrella, but there is always a possibility they could reconsider.  After getting this email, however, I asked whether there had been any changes in her status and was told no.  We are told that her role going forward will be to continue to support Absolution and obviously, she'll be involved in promoting the Fighting With My Family film that comes out in the Fall.  

When was Bryan actually cleared?

The word that was making the rounds backstage at Smackdown Tuesday night was that it was several weeks ago, but we later learned that was when he took the final round of tests. According to Bryan in an interview, WWE informed him he was cleared this past Monday, so it was about 12-24 hours before they issued the press release announcing he was free and clear.

If Daniel Bryan had hidden seizures from WWE, how can they trust him that he will be honest with injuries going forward?

That is a fair question, but one I don't think WWE would answer publicly.  One would think that as part of the process of clearing Bryan, the company put specific parameters in place and should Bryan violate those parameters, there would be a major issue.  Remember, should WWE believe Bryan's health is at risk, they can always bench him again.  If they felt he wasn't being honest with them, that would certainly fall under the company having to protect him from himself.  I'd like to think Bryan realizes what a mistake he made in the past and that he won't repeat it.

Has there been any updates on Sunday Night Heat coming to the WWE Network?

It is digitized and ready to go.  It's just a matter of when WWE adds it.  Initially, Heat and Thunder were not set for 2018, but obviously they changed plans and added Thunder once the company was free and clear from the Buff Bagwell and Raven lawsuit.

Where is Ring of Honor headquartered?

Baltimore.

Who was behind the WWF Wrestling Album back in the day?

Cyndi Lauper and Dave Wolffe.
