PAIGE VANZANT-WWE, G1 SUPERCARD OF HONOR, THE HAITI KID, AXXESS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2018-08-04 10:00:00

Wasn't there a plan for Paige VanZant of UFC fame to come to WWE?  Whatever happened to that?

As PWInsider.com broke back in 2015, WWE reached out to her about taking part in Summerslam that year, but they never came to an agreement.  VanZant is a huge WWE fan and I wouldn't be shocked to see her pop up when it works out for all sides, but right now, she's recovering from a broken arm.

Is the G1 Supercard of Honor show going to be on PPV?

If you mean will the show be a traditionally televised PPV, we have heard that is not the plan.  ROH will be streaming the show live, however.  Whether that is included in Honorclub or not, we haven't heard.  I would also expect New Japan would have the show available on their streaming service, at least in Japan.

Whatever happened to the Haiti Kid?

The last I heard, he was in the New York City area.  I have no idea what he may be up to, however.  He's never popped up at any conventions that I can recall.

Did Mr. T ever release his WWE Hall of Fame speech?

No, he never did, despite announcing he would indeed do so.

How can PROGRESS have the WWE UK wrestlers on their shows in the United States?

PROGRESS has a partnership with WWE, which allows them to do so.

Any word on where Wrestlemania AXXESS will be?

I have heard WWE has looked at sites in both New York and New Jersey but no official announcement has been made.
