You have questions. I have answers. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug, your party host and Guiding Light. Let’s get to it, shall we? Let’s roll.

Dominik turned on Rhea, and Finn Balor turned on Damian Priest. Is Judgement Day finished?

I don’t think the concept of Judgment Day is over, but the faction, as we knew it, will be changing. I expect we’ll see Balor, Dom, and JD, aligned with Liv, as Judgment Day, while Rhea and Priest work as babyfaces. As for Carlito, it could go either way, but I think he’ll end up staying with Balor, JD, Dom, and Liv.

Have you ever drunk Prime energy drink?

I have not. My daily drinking habits are water, lemonade, Orange Juice, Mt. Dew Zero, Pepsi Zero, Bud Light, and Jack Daniels. Prime is not part of my drinking routine.

Should WWE revive the WCW brand on Netflix’s streaming service?

It’s an interesting idea, but WWE already has Raw, Smackdown, and NXT, plus associations with TNA & Pro Wrestling NOAH. Another brand is not needed.

How would you rate SummerSlam on a scale of 1-10?

The show was good from start to finish and seemed like an hour rather than four. It checked all the boxes. I’d give it an 8.5.

Roman is back. Thoughts?

As we all expected, the original Tribal Chief has made his return. And now, let the fight for control of the Bloodline begin. I’m glad to see Roman back as part of the WWE. He was missed.

We saw Arn Anderson backstage at SummerSlam during Cody’s entrance. Does this mean more of Arn in the future of WWE and Cody Rhodes?

No one knows for sure, but Arn, Cody, and WWE, but I surely hope so. Arn adds so much to the company regardless of what role he’s assigned, be it an agent, on-air talent, trainer, or anything else. I hope this return is for the long run.

Four titles changed hands at SummerSlam, with Gunther over Priest, Nia over Bayley, Breakker over Sami, and Knight over Logan. Thoughts?

And all of the title switches were well done and made sense. We’re in a new era of WWE and SummerSlam was a great night of professional wrestling fun.

How long will it be before we see Cody versus Roman III? Will WWE wait until WrestleMania 41, or will we see it happen before then?

When it happens, I think WWE will pick the ideal time. Maybe it’s WrestleMania. Maybe it’s at one of the Saudi shows. Maybe it’s the Royal Rumble. It’ll happen when the time is right.

Did you see that choke slam that Jelly Roll did on Austin Theory? How long before we see Jelly Roll in a WWE match? Or in the Royal Rumble?

That choke slam was incredible and much respect and kudos to Austin Theory for taking that move. I’m a big fan of Jelly Roll, dating back to his early collaborations with Struggle Jennings and Yelawolf, and it’s great to see him enjoying the success, plus getting to live out a childhood dream with the WWE and that spot at SummerSlam. But he should not be wrestling or trying to do a match. A ringside role would be okay, but I have no desire to see Jelly Roll try and wrestle. That moment with Miz, Truth, and Theory was more than enough.

Christian Cage presented the Trios Championships to his family—one for himself and then one for Nick Wayne. The last one went to Shayna Wayne… instead of Killswitch. Thoughts?

Christian Cage is such a good heel and the slow build for Killswitch’s eventual snap and turn on him is great as well. It’s the small things that keep adding to the story and making the anticipation just that much sweeter. I’m enjoying the addition of Mother Wayne and son Nick Wayne to the group and it’s just a slow burn leading to a boil. I often complain that AEW doesn’t tell stories, but they’re doing one here and it’s been fun to watch. When it finally reaches the climax, it’s going to be incredible.

And there you go. My thanks for reading. Be sure to like, share, and subscribe. And with that, let’s wrap it up. Take care and be well, my friends. Keep those questions coming and I’ll see you at the matches.
