Nash Carter was fired specifically for the Hitler picture according to Dave. WWE had known about the stuff with Kimber Lee last week, so it was suprising they got the tag titles. He had also just had Kimber Lee served with divorce papers and had been staying with Wes Lee and his wife for a while so there is dispute over the timing of the claims and they say he's been staying away from her but she isn't? I think I have that right. He had also been in a thing with Gigi Dolin that sounds like it wasn't good.

Kacy Catanzaro and Kay Lee Ray have had their names changed to Katana Chance and Alba Fyre respectively. The edict here is that Vince wants names he can trademark and aren’t someone’s real or indie names. Obviously the rule won’t apply to Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, Ronda Rousey, or Gable Steveson

He should still change Steveson to Stevenson, it would make it easier on everyone and also it sounds better
 
Have they changed Chad Gable's name? Seems very unlike them to go forward with two Gable's

So they're back to that eh? It seemed ikea they stopped changing names about 5 years ago and let guys keep their indy names.

I'm not sure how it benefits WWE's business to trademark names but I always felt it was a shitty practice for WWE to trademark names as it only hurts wrestlers once they leave WWE.

It'll change again later, but this seems to be the first time they're doing it with established characters.

If they're gonna change names for IP purposes they should have done it from the get go like they did with people all the time previously (Rollins, Ambrose, Bryan, etc) and guys like LA Knight and Carmelo Hayes more recently.

It's one thing to drop a first or last name, which is also stupid, but still generally the same name/character. (How long before Ciampa loses his first name?) Changing people who have been there for years like Walter, Barthel, Pete Dunne, Mendoza, Kacy, Kay Lee, etc and then not even really mentioning it on top of it is even more insulting to their fans intelligence than they usually are.

Vince thinks people don't watch NXT but then got mad and wonders why they lost to AEW in the ratings. And his/Bruce Pritchard's NXT 2.0 experiment isn't off to a great start either. I'm on the verge of stop watching it especially if most of what was still decent about it like Imperium and Knight are getting called up to be butchered.

'Tommaso Ciampa' is already too many syllables for Vince, but when it happens, probably means Vince likes him enough to do it.
 
Kushida has left WWE, his contract expired. No reason for him to stay and no reason for them to keep him.
 
His entire run in NXT was forgettable and you could have saw that coming the moment he left NJPW to go there. He'll be back in NJPW soon enough could see him having a few matches in AEW as well.
 
I’d say reunite the Time Splitters but I think Shelley has been teaming with Sabin lately

Apparently Shotzi isn't "injured" like previously reported. She's been healthy for a while, they just don't have anything for her.

I expect she will be on the cut list whenever that comes out.
