If they brought back Total Divas who do you think would be the best choices for the cast?

Chelsea Green has long wanted it to be back, and she would be the best choice. Maxxine Dupri is legit her best friend, so her for sure. Then you would need the original cast of the Bellas, Nattie, Naomi and Paige to bring a lot of people back that originally watched the show. It's kind of wild how many of the long time cast members have found their way back. I would also have Bianca featured on there since she and Montez have already had a reality show. Miz and Maryse should be featured here and there to recapture their old audience.

Hey hey SRS, everyone has their “they need to stop doing this trope over and over again” complaint. What is something you want to see more of? For me some more Soap Opera type angles of this is someone from your past, a secret you are running from and now you have to deal with it. More Kane/Taker than AJ Styles/Claire Lynch though.

I want to see more of the show taken out of the venue. We used to see the Hardcore Title stuff all over the place. Even D-Lo fighting Mark Henry at a strip club. Not everything needs to be at the venue with the same looking backgrounds and backstage areas. I want some stuff switched up. I want to feel like there is some more unpredictability. Seeing the Britt Baker/Rebel skits in the dentist office being revisited made me miss those. Get back to that!

Any news on Steve Borden?

Yes, AEW announced that he was at the hospital after the match and was responsive and talking about the match. I'd heard that he was big on doing the spot, and that other people in the match were concerned after, but things ended up being as good as possible considering how they looked. Borden will be back at it soon as long as he's feeling good in the coming weeks.
