Select Answers: Baron Corbin, Shotzi, Vaquer (Patreon)

Welcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.

Is Baron Corbin hurt? Or is there another reason he's been MIA?

Corbin is fine, and has been at a number of Smackdown tapings recently. Originally, Corbin told Fightful that he wasn't sold on the idea of teaming with Apollo Crews, but grew to like it. Unfortunately, WWE creative hasn't been as keen on booking them. They've worked a number of dark matches in recent months. Usually against Los Garzas or OC.

ETA on Shotzi’s injury return?

A good rule of thumb on anyone who sustains a torn ACL is to expect them out for a full year, and if you get them back sooner than that, great news. Shotzi tore her ACL eight months ago, so I'd assume she still has some time out.

Do you think Stephanie Vaquer's signing with WWE will be a catalyst for more women in Mexico to make the jump? Feels like the number of talented women wrestling south of the border gets bigger and bigger every year, and that it has to only be a matter of time before the larger American feds start scooping them up like they've historically done with the male luchadores for decades.

I feel like if she's a success, she could really open the gates up there. The current regime is much more open to using managers and putting talent in situations that fit them, as opposed to forcing ones that don't work on everyone (including the audience). From an opinion perspective, I think a luchadora tag team would work really well, and I think WWE should try to bring in La Catalina considering the rough situation she was put in by the previous regime.
