Is Braun Strowman signed with WWE? Keep seeing commercials about a food show using his WWE name.

No that's a separate deal, one that was worked on before Strowman left WWE. There were people who worked on the show who were very upset and even nervous about Strowman being released by WWE because they thought it guaranteed a second season wouldn't happen. Because they'd already been filming and doing production on the season, WWE allowed USA Network to continue using the name.

Do you know what the last WWE event was that Vince McMahon was in attendance for? and do you think there’s any chance at all they would make the decision to invite him to be at John Cena’s final show?

I don't think he's been backstage since he was finally ousted in January 2024. If he has, I've never heard of it. When he showed up with his jet black hair and weird little mustache, we heard about that one quickly. The last I can remember was WWE Raw in Hartford, Connecticut on June 5, 2023. Outside of that, he was at WrestleMania that year, where he changed the finish of the Edge vs. Finn Balor match, and Raw after Mania where he turned into the Tazmanian Devil and tore up and ate the script and created one of the worst WWE Raw episodes of the year. I wouldn't rule out him being at Cena's last match. WWE tends to do whatever they want now

Do you think masha would’ve re-signed with tna or signed by wwe/aew by now if it wasn’t for her very serious allegations? Do you see her getting signed eventually or has that ship sailed. What do you think her future holds?

I think that she likely would have angled to go to WWE or NXT. I've heard there was some interest there, but I'm not sure how much. TNA probably would have seen if she wanted to head there, and if not, she likely would have ended up re-signing with TNA. I think there's a path to her appearing on TNA again, especially since the person who made the allegations said that he wanted her to continue her career.
