Cody: Hello?
Dwayne: Yes?
Cody: Is, uh, Hunter there?
Dwayne: Not in the sense that you mean. You need to come see me.
Cody: Who is this?
Dwayne: You know who it is. You need to talk to me.
Cody: I don't need to talk to you.
Dwayne: I think you do. Do you know where I'm main eventing?
Cody: Why would I care where you're main eventing?
Dwayne: I know where you are.
Cody: Yeah? Where am I?
Dwayne: You're in the midcard feuding with Seth, but that's not where I'm going. Do you know where I'm main eventing?
Cody: Yeah, I know where you're main eventing.
Dwayne: Alright.
Cody: You know you won't go over.
Dwayne: It doesn't make any difference who goes over.
Cody: So what are you main eventing for?
Dwayne: You know how this is going to turn out, don't you?
Cody: Nope.
Dwayne: I think you do. So this is what I'll offer — you bring me into the ring and I'll let Roman go. Otherwise he's jobbed out, same as you. That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save your story, because you can't.

Vince McMahon's involvement in WWE Raw this week was a hot topic.

Piper Niven vs. Candice LeRae was completely pulled from the card, as was a backstage segment that had them both involved with Trish Stratus. Both segments were on rundowns that were handed out by 7 PM EST. The match was replaced by Street Profits vs. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin

If you thought the Mustafa Ali vs. Chad Gable match was abrupt, there's a reason. It was only scheduled for one segment, but still had minutes cut from it.

There were several matches that had time cut from them, there were winners and losers changed, and there were set ups to get into the finish changed.

Several of the female wrestlers have been vocal about their division's segments constantly being cut. There was a backstage segment featuring women and Adam Pearce that was changed.

All of the other matches on Raw were the originally scheduled matches, but there were still plenty of changes. The card was not posted internally backstage until much later.

The WWE Draft pools have been released, and featured some notable omissions and inclusions. In the event of some wrestlers, they’re sidelined with injuries and WWE likes to leave flexibility to apply returning talent to brands that need them the most.

Alexa Bliss- Alexa Bliss was sidelined due to a skin cancer procedure, and appeared on The Masked Singer. She hasn’t been factored into creative plans of late. Originally she was to be tied in to a Bray Wyatt story.

Aliyah: Had been sidelined due to an elevated first rib and AC sprain in September. Creative hasn’t had substantial plans for her, though they were told she was ready to return quite a while back. We haven’t heard if her absence to this point is injury related.

Big E - Big E has yet to return from his neck injury. There hasn’t been an update on his status in quite some time and isn’t factored in to creative plans.

Bray Wyatt- Bray Wyatt was overcoming an illness as of WrestleMania weekend, and wasn’t in the creative plans. However, he’s told people close to him he’s excited to make his way back whenever he’s able.

Carmella- Carmella has been sidelined since before WrestleMania. WWE hasn’t provided an update on her, but she is still working community events.

Gable Steveson- Gable Steveson was picked in the 2021 Draft, which served as a major surprise to most in the company and on the roster. We’re told there has never been a creative plan for Gable Steveson, and even before returning to amateur wrestling, he was a long way off. Those we spoke to say the move was a publicity stunt.

Jinder Mahal - Mahal is considered full-time as an NXT talent now and was not included in the Draft pool.

Lita- Based on what we’ve heard, Lita isn’t expected to have a heavy in-ring future, and the appearances with Becky Lynch were a means to the end to progress the Trish Stratus feud.

Logan Paul- Though Logan Paul has signed a new contract with WWE, he will be used sparingly. He’ll operate as a free agent to give WWE flexibility, though he’s primarily appeared on Raw. He was used in promotional materials for the Draft.

Maryse: This wouldn’t normally be notable, as she rarely appears. However, Maryse was included on the draft graphic with the Miz, but not on the listed draft pool.

Randy Orton- Orton underwent back fusion surgery last year after struggling for months with the injury. The last we checked, he’d been telling people close to him that he plans to return to wrestling, but WWE told us WrestleMania weekend he was still “quite a way off.”

Robert Roode- WWE expects Roode to be sidelined for the remainder of 2023 as he recovers from neck fusion surgery.

R-Truth: R-Truth is expected to miss most of 2023 while he recovers from a torn quad he sustained in late 2022/

Shanky- Shanky has not been factored into any creative plans since Triple H took over creative. He didn’t make the move to NXT with Jinder Mahal and has not been backstage of late.

Uncle Howdy- Uncle Howdy’s status is very much tied to that of Bray Wyatt. Howdy is portrayed by Bo Dallas.

NOTABLE INCLUSIONS:

Brock Lesnar: Lesnar is notably included in the Draft Pool, which is a rarity. The last draft he was included in was the comprehensive 2019 draft. Prior to that, he was included in the 2016 Draft.

Drew McIntyre: Despite questions regarding his status, Drew McIntyre is in the draft pools and expected to return to the road shortly.

Riddick Moss: This is only notable in the fact that WWE has officially changed Madcap Moss’ name back to Riddick Moss.

Trish Stratus: The first time that Trish Stratus has been drafted since 2002, she’s expected to be active and a regular on WWE programming through at least the summer. Stratus was not included on the draft graphic.
