Can you settle something on whether The Rock is factored into Wrestlemania or not?  I see a lot of squabbling online about it.

Ignore the squabbling.  It's a waste of your time.  Here's the deal.  WWE works on their creative and if/when The Rock tells them *this is what he'd like to do*, they change accordingly.  If The Rock wants to do something, that's as good as Ari Emanuel telling Paul Levesque and the creative team "This is what will happen" and then it will.    So, they have their plans and they will pivot if and when Rock descends down from the Board of Directors and Hollywood.  Remember, he's getting paid somewhere in the area of $30 million worth of stock to be part of the company, so it's in their best interest to utilize that asset when he's available and wants to do something.  If he has an idea or a direction he wants to do, they're going to lean into it, even if he's been away for an extended period.

WWE teased Seth vs. Punk on Raw, so when are we getting it?

I would bet on Wrestlemania, most likely, but I don't know if that's the plan.  It just seems to me that they'd go back to what they wanted to originally do a month ago.

 Any word on Scorpio Sky's status?

Under AEW contract but not being used.

 Aside from Randy Savage portraying Peter Parker's greatest onscreen foe to date, were there any other wrestlers or wrestling figures involved in the wrestling scenes in the 2002 Spider-Man film?

No, just Hollywood stunt personnel.

Has a pro wrestler ever written a novel?

Mick Foley has written several.
