3) Update On Taynara Conti’s Status With WWE After Walking Out
Over the past few weeks, there have been some rumors that Taynara Conti walked out of WWE after a contract dispute in January.
Conti returned at the NXT live event on Saturday night. She also appeared with “RELEASED” written on her shirt:
My Take:
- It looks like that contract dispute has been resolved. Smart of her to lean into the rumors and turn it into something for her character. She has potential and I am excited to see her career develop.
2) Update On Cain Velasquez’s Status With WWE
According to journalist Tom Colohue, Cain Velasquez is still with WWE and the company is keeping an eye on him for future appearances.
Here is what Colohue said:
A little bit of an update on Cain Velasquez, who was expected to be in the Royal Rumble. He announced himself he was going to be in the Royal Rumble to a number of media outlets on the BT Launch Bus, but he did not end up being in the Royal Rumble because of a late pull.
I’ve spoken quite a few times about the loss of faith that the company has had with Cain Velasquez, however, he is still signed to the WWE. He is still training and preparing and he is expected to return to the company when he is ready to do so. They are keeping an eye on him. They are watching his development and he is still under contract and likely to appear sooner rather than later.
My Take:
- I like Cain but I think WWE rushed him. They should have slowly built towards the Brock Lesnar match instead of jumping right into it. It only ended up hurting Cain. He was great in AAA though and I definitely want to see more of him.
