Welcome to the show. It’s the only pro wrestling Q&A that matters. You have questions, and I have answers. It’s the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A. I’m Doug, your party host and Guiding Light. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Who is the greatest WWE babyface of all time: John Cena, Hulk Hogan, Rey Mysterio, or Cody Rhodes?

Of these four, I’d have to say Rey Mysterio. True, he might be a deadbeat dad, but he’s never turned heel on the WWE fans. Everyone else mentioned here has been a heel at some point.

The Righteous, Vincent & Dutch have departed AEW and Ring of Honor. Thoughts?

I honestly had forgotten that they were even there in ROH. I remember that they had a push for about two weeks, and then vanished into limbo. So, my thoughts? Yeah, whatever.

Los Garza (Angel Garza & Humberto Carillo) have been announced for the AAA TripleMania event in June. What other WWE stars do you think might be a part of AAA’s signature PPV event?

I’m not surprised that WWE is sending some talent down to TripleMania. Garza has a long family history in AAA, so this makes sense. Rey Mysterio is also expected, as are TNA stars Joe Hendry and The Hardys. I hope that we’ll see Penta, Rey Fenix, and the LWO as part of this event. Maybe El Grande Americano, who is not Chad Gable, makes an appearance as well.

Are you excited for WWE Backlash this weekend?

It should be a good show. I’m looking forward to the event.

With the release of Dakota Kai, is the faction Damage CTRL finished? Iyo Sky is a babyface, while Asuka and Kairi Sane are both out injured. When they return, do you think they’ll realign with Iyo or go in a different direction?

It’ll be hard to keep Iyo as a face if she’s still relying on Kairi and Asuka for backup. I think we’ll see a confrontation and reunion at the start, but it won’t last, and maybe we’ll see feuds between Iyo and her two former allies. Damage CTRL is essentially over.

Rhino is scheduled to be on AEW Dynamite and at ROH tapings this week. Thoughts?

Rhino is making an appearance and collecting a check. I doubt this means anything more than that.

Allegedly, released NXT talent Riley Osborne was very vocal about not wanting to work in WWE Evolve. Do you think this figured into a reason for his termination?

Osborne got on Instagram and explained this. He took one day off, with permission, and worked the Evolve tapings without incident. It’s just more people making up stuff based on nothing but speculation. Osborne worked at WWE Evolve.

Big E is getting married. Do you think that Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods will be invited to the wedding?

They might not be front and center and acting as Big E’s groomsmen, but I’m sure they’ll be there. I also expect to see WWE tape some angles to help put over Kofi and Xavier as heels and keep the heat with Big E alive.

Jeff Jarrett recently said that Rusev doesn’t work quite as well in WWE without Lana by his side. Is Jarrett right? Should WWE bring back Lana for Rusev?

It’s too soon to tell, but I agree with Jarrett that Rusev is missing something. I don’t know if Lana is the answer, but if things don’t pick up, that is always an option.

Would you like to see Ronda Rousey return to WWE, and should Shayna Baszler be part of it if she does?

I’m not sure if Rousey would be welcome in the WWE locker room after her last exit from the company, but I would enjoy seeing Rousey and Shayna come back as the bitter heels that were “betrayed” by the fans and WWE. Let them work the tag team division. It would be believable and work. I’d like to see it happen.
