Evolution including Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley, Naomi’s resurgence, and the Charlotte-Alexa Bliss storyline
Gunther vs. Goldberg
Jelly Roll’s involvement in WWE and early praise
Should Paul Levesque be pulling curtain back in post-show media Q&As, and the history of finding that balance with how much to share and on what timeframe
TNA’s ambitions to get a real revenue stream on cable TV and the politics of how that could affect WWE’s perspective on them
Levesque’s propensity to book faces bickering and heels crossing paths, including in Triple Threat matches
