What's happened to Mickie James? Why is she not involved in any of the women's angles?

She is around and working house shows.  She just isn’t in the title mix right now, that’s all.

It's been said that if WWE was to release Paige right now after the domestic incident with Alberto El Patron, they would be wrong.  And I agree.  But in light of the coke statements that were thrown around in the audio of the incident, would it be wrong of them  to have her tested for a wellness violation? If she failed, it would be her 3rd violation. 

If they wanted to try and get rid of her, they could call her in for a drug test at any time.  For example, if they knew she was out of the country they could call her in for a test and if she didn’t make it, they could give her a third strike.  They know this and they haven’t chosen to do so.  It could have something to do with the movie about their family or they could be trying to be supportive of her.  Or, it could not be on their radar at all since she is not active.  But my take is that given the way things are going with her, they don’t want to get into the news cycle for firing her.  I think that is the right way to handle the situation a this time.  If things were to escalate, that could change things.  Personally, I hope she can find some peace.  Her life has been too event filled recently.

Two RAW PPV's have taken place since Finn Balor's return from injury, and we have yet to see the Demon.  What are they waiting for?  In NXT he brought out the demon character at every big Takeover match.  I think the demon character should be reserved only for big PPV matches, and maybe the occasional RAW to build towards a big match.  How frequent would you like to see the demon character?  Would you prefer to see it for every PPV match Finn has? Or only a few times a year, ie. only at Wrestlemania, Summerslam, & Royal Rumble?  Or more often, to include occasional RAW matches?
They are waiting for the right moment to bring it out.  He has been in a bit of a holding pattern since coming back as he didn’t fit into the Title picture in their view.  As for the entrance, I am definitely in the less is more camp for that.

Is there any heat on the Usos for referencing Xavier Woods' explicit video with Paige?  

It was edited out of the replay so it didn’t go over well.  If there is real heat, we probably won’t know for a while.

And if you are Paige, given all that has transpired in her personal life since her "estrangement" from WWE, how do you even consider going back to WWE at this point?

Let’s not forget she had major neck surgery as well.  That is a major concern for me as she takes bumps for a living.  With all that has gone on in her life of late, a return to the ring seems down the list of things that she needs to get right to me.  I really hope she can find her way and just be happy.  That is the best thing that can happen to anyone.
