I saw that Santos Escobar is going by a new name Romeo Malverde. Does WWE own the rights to Hijo del Fantasma since he started there under that name?
There's been no confirmation that WWE owns the name. He said at SDCC he wanted to move forward. Perhaps that is why. If WWE owns the Fantasma name, it'll shake out sooner than later.
I saw you reported that NXT hired Alice Layne from TNA. Is she the referee that picked up on Steve Maclin being legitimately knocked out against Mike Santana in the main event at Sacrifice this year? If so, I would consider that a major loss to TNA, but still congrats to her on another opportunity.
Yes, that was the same referee. She's an excellent official.
Where is Steve Maclin?
He will be working for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling next.
What's going on with Sammy Guevara? Is he actually on his way out of AEW?
No. I think there was some annoyance that his wife hadn't been granted her release, but nothing beyond that. Tony Khan has since stated Tay Conti is being released. If I am Guevara, I'm not seeking to leave AEW. I don't believe that he'd end up in high demand from WWE at this juncture, but I could be wrong.
I saw on Nikki and Brie's Vlog on YouTube video that during WrestleMania, Bryan Danielson attended the event sitting in a box with their family. Did Bryan appear backstage to mingle with the talent and crew during WrestleMania?
I am told he was just in the family and friends area, but this many months later, it's going to be hard to pinpoint whether he made a backstage visit, especiually given how massive the backstage area is in a stadiym that size. Unless he was sitting on gorilla for hours, there's no way to know for sure.
