In the MLW lawsuit, it was noted that FITE.TV carries WWE programming...I don't believe that is the case.   Is it?

The only WWE programming I can ever recall streaming on FITE.TV was Wrestlemania 36 from the Performance Center.  That was during the early era of the pandemic and WWE made the show available on just about every platform it could.  That is the only instance that I can personally recall it ever happening.

Do you think Jon Moxley is in the Rumble tonight?

No.

Do you think WWE does the Forbidden Door thing and CM Punk is in the Rumble?

Hell no.

Any chance of a Drew McIntyre return tonight?

I haven't heard that.  McIntyre was not at Smackdown last night.  It's always possible he's brought in for the Rumble event itself, but we haven't heard anything in regard to him being cleared to return to the ring.

I saw you posted they have more women than needed for the Rumble?  WHY?

We are still living in the middle of a pandemic, that's why!  WWE can't control who passes the medical protocols so they are smartly bringing in extra talents just in case.  Hopefully those who aren't in the Rumble get another cameo of sorts on the show.  The company has to be proactive and be smart by thinking outside the box and not just assuming everything will work out as they hope it will.

I saw Ric Flair is in town for the Rumble, any chance he appears?

I don't see that happening.

With all the other names being pushed as returning, there's been no sign of Paige.  Any insight?

I know she's been on the road traveling with her boyfriend's band and has been doing her thing on Twitch.  I have heard nothing regarding her working the Rumble match but if she can do it safely, I would love to see that moment happen for her.
