Draft, Lesnar/Kidman, Tara & WWE, Undertaker On Raw
How far ahead do WWE superstars know about being drafted to another brand?
In years past, WWE stars haven't known they were being drafted until it was announced on live television. That wasn't the case this year as both Cody Rhodes and Kofi Kingston knew they were moving because they were involved in the filming of a commercial for Smackdown's move to SyFy. Several workers were notified on Monday afternoon as I reported at this link.
Will Brock Lesnar and/or Billy Kidman ever return to WWE?
I never like to say never in this business but I'm 99.9% sure Brock Lesnar is finished with WWE. He's had great success in UFC and looks to continue that with his comeback this summer. Billy Kidman is under WWE contract as he is a developmental instructor/trainer at Florida Championship Wrestling. Injuries ended his in-ring career.If TNA were to start calling (for example)
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Kennedy, or Team 3D, The Dudley Boyz: Exactly what could (and would) the WWE do about it?
Usually when someone is infringing upon WWE's copyright they demand an immediate cease and desist of the copyright or they will file a lawsuit. If TNA, or any other company, called them out on this they would be quick to react. WWE is very protective of their copyrights and have people in the company not only watching what other companies do but what happens on the Internet as well.
Tara is reported to be leaving TNA. Could she be on her way back to WWE?
Or she hanging up the boots?
Tara says she isn't retiring but I have a hard time believing WWE would bring in a 40-year-old Diva, especially with the Divas division being built around younger workers such as Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly. She has expressed interest in Mixed Martial Arts and may give that a try.Why is The Undertaker never drafted to Raw? Smackdown has been seen as The Undertaker's brand. He likes it and company management likes it. Raw has traditionally had the more star power so The Undertaker has traditionally been the leader on the brand. Many workers enjoy the atmosphere in the Smackdown locker room more than the Raw locker room because it reportedly is more relaxed with less politics.To submit your question for our next installment of Ask WNW, click here.Remember questions with proper spelling and grammar receive top priority and stand the best chance of getting answered.
