Hey Sean, you mentioned in the past about a left field option being the idea for the third member of the hurt syndicate. Are you able to say who this was now or is it still potentially able to happen in the future

Yeah, the rumored name being thrown around at the time was Tehuti Miles. However, Tehuti Miles had never heard about it, and the Hurt Syndicate had never heard of it. I'm not sure the validity of that pitch at this point. But that was the name I'd heard.

Any update on Zoey Stark?

She's at the WWE Performance Center and is still rehabbing her injury. WWE never expected her back before a full year after her injury -- pretty much the standard in wrestling. I'd be surprised to see her back until after Mania on an optimistic timeline.

How does Las Vegas feel about the decrease in people this year compared to last year’s Mania? They must’ve known this wasn’t a good idea lol

They were more bothered by the attempt at shutting down live watch parties. The way that I heard it was that the tourism board that paid the site fees was very clear that they were trying to increase tourism to Las Vegas and the local businesses, not just WWE and Allegiant Stadium. Even with the attendance number where it is right now, I'm sure Las Vegas is happy to have dozens of thousands of people coming into town.
