It’s the PM edition of the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug. Let’s roll.

Natalya has re-signed with WWE. Thoughts?

Did anyone truly expect anything else? Natalya is married to Tyson Kidd, an agent for WWE. She is a valued and honored employee who can write her ticket in WWE, be it as a wrestler, agent, trainer, etc. Natalya is WWE for life.

Who should Randy Orton wrestle at SummerSlam?

It needs to be a member of the Bloodline and my suggestion. One-on-one versus Jacob Fatu. The way that Fatu has decimated Orton over the past few weeks, this one is a no-brainer.

I saw Barry Horowitz has a book coming out. Is there anyone you’d like to see write one?

The names immediately come to mind are Lisa Moretti, aka Ivory, Baron Von Raschke, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Any of these would be a must-read, especially if they’re, in the McMahon family books, frank and straightforward.

Jacob Fatu versus Bron Breakker. Who wins?

With all of the family, The Steiners, and Haku all at ringside, this would be a brutal slobber knocker of a match. Fatu has the edge in experience, so I think he’d score the win. He would know he’d been in a fight.

Thunder Rosa versus Victoria. Who wins?

Another potential amazing match that, with both women in their prime, could go in either direction. I think my money would be on Lisa Marie Varon, aka Victoria, for the win in this one.

Per Fightful: WWE has filed to trademark Ethan Page. Honestly, I’m surprised by this. Giving up the rights to a name you made famous isn’t a decision to be made lightly.

WWE trademarks the name for merchandising, advertising, and use as part of the WWE product. Page isn’t giving up the rights to anything, and when/if he leaves WWE, he’ll take his name with him. The copyrights are necessary to promote and push the character. Page still owns his name but is just allowing WWE use of it. Nothing more. It’s just business as usual.

If you thought Shane McMahon being involved with AEW was a wild idea, how about this: They hire Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey? What do you think? I know Brock is “controversial” right now, but when’s that stopped them!?

Ronda is currently retired. She did a one-shot for ROH, and if she wanted to go to AEW, I’m sure it would happen. I don’t think she wants to or cares, given her comments while promoting her recent book. As for Brock, I believe he’s still under contract to WWE, but even if he’s not, I can’t see Brock in AEW. It would be a huge step down from what he’s used to and likes going from eating steak every night to eating a tuna fish sandwich. Tony may have the money to pay Brock, but I just can’t see it ever happening.

Are you buying the hype around Bron Breakker? Yes or no.

Yes, I am. The kid is very talented and getting better with every match. Given that, plus his heritage and genetics, I think Bron is nearly limitless in his potential. Breakker will be a huge star for WWE one day, probably sooner rather than later.

Triple H tells you to create a new “Four Horseman” from the WWE’s current rosters, but here’s the catch. No former “real” Horsemen or their relatives can be involved or part of the team. You have to pick a manager, plus four wrestlers. Who do you choose?

When you take out the family connections, guys like Lexis King are out of the picture and that makes it hard. But we’ll give it a shot. For the managerial role, aka JJ Dillon, how about current Agent Bobby Roode? I think he’d be glorious in the role of the mentor of a faction. And the rest of the team? Let’s go with Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Grayson Waller, and Logan Paul.

Triple Threat Match: Samoa Joe versus Umaga versus Jacob Fatu. Who wins?

Of these three, it’s a very hard call to make. It wouldn’t be so much of a wrestling match, but more just fun and games at the Anoai Family BBQ. A very hard choice, but I’d go with Umaga.

CJ Perry, aka Lana, returns to the WWE and becomes the Wise Woman for the Bloodline. Yes or no?

It’s an interesting idea, but no. Just no.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Comments, thoughts, and any questions are welcome and appreciated. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap it up for now. Take care and be well, my friends. Watch out for foreign objects and I’ll see you at the matches.
