Early prediction.. Survivor Series Main Event

Rob Wilkins

Is NXT too top-heavy?

Dev W.

How do you feel about Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows keep tagging Matt Jackson on twitter hyping up something big?

Manuel Rosales

Why has the Apollo injury been looked at as legit? Wasn't Money in the Bank filmed a while back?

Marc Jones

When (or if) Triple H has a retirement match, which option do you think his final opponent is more likely to be? A current NXT star, a rising main roster star in need of the rub, or someone at the top of the card?

Jim McShea

Do you think we'll see Vince McMahon appear in the MITB match, perhaps as a gag?

Jim McShea

Are you able to get the merchandise sales numbers and if so, who are currently the top 5 in the company?

Brian Bayless

Do you think that Vince ever retires? Or does he work until his death?

Dev W.

Any truth to the Bellas saying Brie confronted AJ Lee after the “pipebomb” promo and that none of the Total Divas knew of the promo beforehand?

Dev W.

Any reason to why neither the IC or US title will be defended at Money in the Bank? It feels like they dont know what to do with any of the titles outside of the women's and men's top titles.

Do you think submissions should be used more to finish matches or do you think that could make talent look weak?

Have you ever been given a reason as to why WWE books everyone 50/50? It feels like that hurts the product and talent more than it helps it.

Is there any logic to why WWE seemingly always cools down talent while they're hot instead of cashing in on that momentum?

Do you think Vince will use the current ratings as an excuse to put the belt back on Lesnar, even though it doesn't seem like the talent is to blame for ratings?

Why do you think Vince prefers people who are good talkers that are average in ring workers over great in ring workers who are average talkers? I feel like average mic skills are easier to hide than average in ring work.

Is there a finisher that isn't used in WWE or AEW that you would like to see used? Also is there a finisher that you feel like is overused?

There are rumors of Apollo Crews turning heel, have you heard anything on that front? And do you think that will be a good move for him?

Due to the current situation WWE is giving some TV time to those who never really got that many chances before. Do you think they will continue to give talent more chances or do you think things will go back to "normal" and they'll go back to pushing the same people?

Has there been any pushback backstage about how WWE has been handling the Drake Maverick situation?

Have you heard if Timothy Thatcher was always the choice to fill in for Pete Dunne or were there others suggested?

Do you think WWE or AEW will ever do inter gender matches? I feel like there are some interesting matches to do there.

Might be a dumb question, but what’s going on with the revolt/the revival? Why are they changing their name to an existing tag team?

In the jingle "ring around the rosie" what does "pocket full of posies" mean??

Omar S.

Watching the UWF episode of Dark Side of the Ring, I am wondering how Vince got Andre the Giant to come right back go WWF. How did that happen?

Reid Greenspan

Does Heath Slater have heat with Cody or was his statement about signing Slater just Cody dismissing a question he didn’t want to answer?

John Morris

AEW has an incredibly stacked Tag Team division for The Revolt to make magic with, but if you could design a year of feuds for them worldwide, where do you send them and what matches do you make?

JJ

Do you think the NXT North American title picture is a little stale with the repeated feuds (Lee, Dijakovic, Priest etc)? Who would you like to see in the mix?

JJ

You mentioned Tessa Blanchards deal was up soon last week. Where do you foresee her going once her contract is up? AEW, WWE or staying in Impact?

JJ

How much of an impact have Heyman/Pritchard had in the last 2-3 months? The same as when they first started in their roles? Obviously everything goes through Vince, but didn’t know do you knew of something significant that happened directly due to them recently? Thanks for everything SRS, hope you’re staying safe!

Frankie Aguilera

How much is Corey Graves asked to play up the “heel” and does it impede his ability to get over babyfaces at this point? Jericho seems to do both well.

Frankie Aguilera

What’s going on with Mercedes Martinez? She was signed, shoehorned into the Royal Rumble and then disappeared.

Frankie Aguilera

We hear about Vince being in the commentors’ ears, what about the ring announcers and other crew around the ring?

Frankie Aguilera

Do you think the omission of Using anything Roman Reigns related is a result of real issues with his departure or more about the company wanting to avoid negative press about still running shows while every other sport has shut down due to safety concerns?

A few questions about interviews: 1) do you sometimes find you get far more from an interviewee then you expected going into it? For that matter do you find some wrestlers are more cagey then you expected? 2) when you wrap up a great interview like the one with Deonna Purrazzo, do you come away with a gut feeling that it will recieve a lot of positive feedback? 3) how much have you evolved your approach to asking interview questions over the last year or two?

Do you know when Ricochet’s contract with WWE expires and if there have been any rumblings of him wanting to leave? I know his usage has been questionable of late but appears he is happy to be with the company based on his social media accounts.

Brian Bayless

As a funny guy/straight guy pairing, I think Thatcher is better suited to Riddle than Pete Dunne: I'm guessing once shows can resume as normal, there is a likelihood that Thatcher or Dunne could turn on Riddle - who would be your pick if that happens?

Graham Williams

what tips would you give someone with writing experience in sports looking to journey into wrestling?

1. Do you think Bliss/Cross break the record for the longest reign as tag champs? Who do you think beats them eventually? 2. Who are the brightest stars in AEW? In your opinion. 3. Do you think the feud between Sonya/Mandy is kind of like the Becky/Charlotte feud from 2018 when Becky was a heel who made valid points and you didn’t want to boo her. (Similar to Sonya). 4. Would you move Damian Priest to the main roster? I think he needs to hold gold. 5. Bigger mainstream star at their peak, Hogan or Cena? 6. How would you book Liv Morgan going forward? 7. Any backstage news as to why Humberto Carrillo never won the US champion? With the unlimited chances he got. 8. Do you think Lacey Evans is a dark horse pick to win MITB? Considering her involvement in the Sasha/Bayley storyline. 9. Why do you think a lot of wrestlers have a hard time keeping kayfabe alive these days? 10. Do you ever see Shinsuke Nakamura winning a world title? Or did they blow it with his feud with Styles?
