IS STEPH BACK WORKING FOR WWE, WHAT NEXT FOR MAPLE LEAF PRO, MANIA TICKET PRICES, NAKAMURA, SAMANTHA AND MORE

Settle a bet -  is Stephanie McMahon back as an employee of WWE?

Not as of this writing, no.

Any update on Chris Bey?

He is still hospitalized in Detroit and working on his recovery.  If you want to assist him, use one of these links:

Why have there been no new announcement on Maple Leaf?

We are told there are no real plans to run until sometime next year.

Any word on Shinsuke Nakamura?

He was at Smackdown last week and has been at live events, but nothing yet in terms of a TV return.

Any word on the 2 Cold Scorpio case?

We are told it is still making its way through the court system in Missouri.  No updates yet.

Do you think WWE will step in and prevent Vince McMahon from starting his new company?

You think now that he's gone from the company, that WWE is going to spend the time and resources trying to stop him from doing whatever he wants next?  They want distance from him.  He can do whatever he wants, including not launching, but he's prepping to do it, as long as he's free and clear legally to do it.  Time will tell.

Would you pay the Wrestlemania ticket prices?

I don't imagine I would pay those prices for anything unless it's for Star Wars and I'm sitting with George Lucas, Harrison Ford AND Mark Hamill INSIDE The Millenium Falcon!  You could buy a car for what you could pay for ringside.  But, lots of people out there will be willing to do it!    God bless them.

I saw Samantha Irvin wrote that he told WWE she was quitting months in advance.  If that was the case, why wouldn't they have had a better transition?

I've heard from some in WWE who felt the idea she quit so far in advance didn't hold up, no matter what she wrote online, as the company would have, as one person said, "cut bait and moved on ASAP."   They've also felt that her Twitter comments since have undercut her credibility, but I think part of that is sour grapes over her publicly knocking that she didn't get a bigger role in the company.  The general belief when she made the announcement among most in WWE was that she quit the same time she made the announcement, especially since she didn't say any goodbyes the week before.  We know there were sources who were told she quit that day.  The belief now is that she informed the company the week before and kept it to herself.  One source pointed out how the company treated Kayla Braxton's exit and said that had Irvin handled things differently, she'd likely have gotten a big sendoff as well.  She was liked when she was there.
