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, guiding light, and the man with the best mullet since Billy Ray Cyrus. Are you ready? Let’s do this.

Do you think Dominik Mysterio will risk competing at the Royal Rumble—or play it safe and wait until he’s 100% cleared?

In and out for a quick moment to keep the fans happy, and set up a story for the next few months, leading to WrestleMania? I think we’ll see Dirty Dom show up and show out later today in Saudi Arabia.

Do you want Pat McAfee back on WWE TV full-time, or should WWE use him just for special events?

Pat has a full-time job with ESPN and with his show. WWE is just a side gig. Use Pat at special events and PLEs, and that would work best for everyone.

Ava, the General Manager for NXT, has left WWE. This past Tuesday was her last day with the company. Thoughts?

This is a major surprise. She was finally seeming to get it, and then, without any kind of prior warning, she’s gone. Apparently, her contract expired, and she’s decided that being a secondary WWE authority figure isn’t for her. I guess her Daddy needs her in Hollywood. Best wishes to Ava for her future endeavors.

Who should be the next WWE NXT GM now that Ava has left WWE?

William Regal is the obvious choice. Adam Pearce would be a strong possibility if the Jericho rumors are true. And here’s a good swerve. How about R-Truth? It would never be boring. But Regal is the most likely.

Steve Maclin got the pink slip at TNA when the Feast or Fired bases were open. So, Maclin is apparently through with TNA. Thoughts?

Maclin has been a strong part of TNA for many years, and I can’t really imagine him anywhere else. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out on Impact. I strongly doubt that Maclin is going anywhere.

Do you think AJ Styles should’ve finished his career in AEW instead of WWE?

No, I don’t. TNA would be a good spot considering his history with them, and WWE makes the most sense. But honestly, between you and me, I don’t think AJ is through quite yet. We’ll see more tonight.

Who wins in a straight-up fair fight? Macho Man or Hawk?

Macho Man Randy Savage may snap into things, oh yeah, but Hawk snacks on danger and dines on death. Hawk would win in a straight-up, legit fight.

Would you buy Hulk Hogan’s mansion if you had the cash?

11 million bucks? Nope, I think I would pass on that. I have no desire to move to Florida. I’m content here in North Carolina. Besides, I can think of plenty of things that are better to spend that kind of money on.

WWE celebrity Bad Bunny was named the greatest pop star of 2025 by Billboard. Thoughts?

Congratulations to Mr. Bunny. I like some of his stuff, but he’s not the greatest anything. He’s the modern-day Ricky Martin, nothing more. Jelly Roll, Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf, and R-Truth all have better music in my opinion.
