will Stephanie have 2 vacate her title

As of this past week, there was no plan for Stephanie to vacate the title. In fact, there were tentative creative plans for her next title defense, which should be happening relatively soon. She sustained an ankle sprain and needed a walking boot. She was always cleared for contact, but obviously wrestling on it was a bad idea. Unless something catastrophic happened since last week, she's not vacating. We will find out for sure today.

With the WWE tryout this week, I’m curious if you have any signing news from the Summerslam tryout? I think Jessica Bogdonavov(?) is the only one I’ve seen with a PC photo. Was hopeful for Rayne Leverkeusen

I haven't heard a peep. I asked someone in WWE and they said "uhh...maybe the blonde girl?" Which certainly doesn't narrow them down. Rayne should absolutely be signed. They did sign Jessica Bogdonavov and Cyrus Habibi-Likio. Eli Knight was a part of the tryout and just got signed to NXT as well.

Is there any good reason Honour Club/RoH isn’t just free?

The way Tony Khan talks about it is that he lost a lot of money when they made a month of Honor Club free and made their PPV free for that one month. There's no way to really know how much it was, but he passed on a TV deal from TruTV. Whatever it is, it's enough for them to keep it up and running.
