Any reason to why the WrestleMania Women's battle royal never returned after the pandemic?

I've asked a million times and was just told that WWE didn't want to do it. Especially this regime, they haven't been interested in bringing it back. They wanted to move away from the "get everyone on the card" type of thing, which is fine. I think that doing one on each night of WrestleMania would be kind of cool.

Are the rumors about Paul heyman and Brock lesnar suggesting to creative that Brock shouldn't lose until his retirement true or false?

No. It was claimed that Self Made PW reported that. I reached out to Ibou myself and he said that they didn't. Facebook is just another world. Almost all of my debunkathon stuff comes from there. If you existed just on Twitter or Bluesky, you may never hear some of the crazy shit that goes down on Facebook.

This way not be something you'll get a straight answer to but was Finlay 100% working in that Fightful interview or did NJPW really not tell him about the plans to dissolve Bullet Club?

I wouldn't say he was one hundred percent working. The Bullet Club had sort of just existed in name and branding for quite a while anyway. A number of NJPW talent and original Bullet Club members had indicated to me that they weren't given a heads up that it would officially be dissolved or that line would be dropped. AEW has moved away from using that branding quite a while back too.
