I was wondering where some of the WWE referees come from? Are they indy workers? Performance Center talents? Mixed?
It depends on the talent - and referees should be considered talents. Jessica Carr and Eddie Oreno worked independents as pro wrestlers. Dan Engler and Shawn Bennett were always, to best of my knowledge, referees. Everyone has different paths. Some get tryouts at the PC and are invited to work as referees instead of talents. Some are hired based on recommendation. None of them have easy jobs and they've all worked hard to get to where they are.
I know WWE has Prime on the mat as an advertisement. What happens when that ad campaign ends? Do they scrub it off the mat via CGI when we stream the show a decade from now?
I don't see them spending the money to erase the advertisement. UFC doesn't do that and well, same owners. Don't see it. Prime will be there a decade from now as an ad.
Any word on a Big E comeback?
Nothing that we have heard.
I think it’s awesome that Gabbi Tuft is getting back into wrestling. It’s clear that a lot of wrestling promotions are totally okay hiring trans wrestlers as talent, like AEW, TNA, and GCW; but seeing how trans people are sadly being targeted nonstop nowadays and how smooth-brains complain about “wokeness” whenever trans people are involved in literally anything, do you think WWE would ever hire Gabbi back, or any openly trans performers for that matter?
I think at some point, there will be a trans talent that WWE will hire and invest in. I have no idea if it will be Gabbi Tuft or not, but in my mind, if a talent has earned their chance, their status shouldn't be the issue. If someone isn't going to hire them because they are worried about getting complaints, that's pretty cowardly. Everyone should be hired on the merits of their work and ability to make money for a company, nothing else. AEW and TNA have trans performers and WWE shouldn't be afraid to hire one that they feel is talented enough to perform at a high level.
Who should be John Cena's final opponent?
It should be whoever John wants it to be. The Rock is a natural suggestion. Randy Orton would be perfect. I could also see CM Punk or Drew McIntyre. I also really think John challenging for the WWE title one more time, where he either "breaks" Flair's record as he retires or fails to do so could be an interesting story. But, to me, it should similar to when Sting retired in AEW - John's choice.
