Jim Ross updated the Q&A section of his website. Here are a few highlights:
If John Cena would beat The Undertaker if they squared off at WrestleMania 30: "John Cena will never beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania. No one will."
Why Undertaker was always on SmackDown with it being the "B" brand: "WWE Doesn't consider Smackdown a B show but most fans seem to. Taker was there to build TV ratings."
If he could book Steve Austin's last match, who it would be against: "CM Punk"
JR was also asked on Twitter if he thought an Austin - Punk match was likely, to which he replied, "Not likely...again...not likely."
Triple H on The Tag Team Division, PG Product Paying Results, Cena's Return:
- The current plan is for John Cena to return to WWE TV for the October 28th RAW, the night after Hell In a Cell. WWE wants his first appearance back to be on the pay-per-view as opposed to putting him on the go-home show to build his World Heavyweight Title match against Alberto Del Rio.
- In 2008, WWE's total revenue from corporate sponsorships was $7.4 million. Now, after 5 years of pushing their PG product publicly and promising sponsors that there would be no more risque TV, the number is expected to hit $20 million this year.
- Triple H has once again sent the directive to re-focus on the WWE tag team division. The plan as he laid it out was to first get some teams ready in NXT to bring to the main roster, as well as take some talented guys on the main roster who officials recognize are underutilized and try and get them going as a tag team. Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel are one example of a new team to be expected soon.
