3) Why Shayna Baszler Hasn’t Been On RAW

Here is what the site wrote about Shayna:
There’s talk that Vince McMahon soured on Shayna Baszler and she isn’t getting the push that was previously planned for her.
My Take:
- With Charlotte Flair taking some time off, I think that Shayna will get another chance. A feud between Shayna and Asuka could be for fun for after Extreme Rules or Summerslam.
2) There Is No Backstage Heat On Kevin Owens For Skipping RAW
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, there is no heat on Kevin Owens after he decided to step away from WWE television. This came after the news that someone in WWE had tested positive for COVID-19.
Here is what Sapp wrote bout Owens:
Fightful Select was able to confirm this week that Kevin Owens did not attend the WWE Raw tapings. We were told early Wednesday that Owens had communicated to WWE that he wouldn’t be at the next Raw taping after news of the latest positive COVID-19 test within the company emerged. It was also said that WWE didn’t try to pressure Owens into attending, and there were no issues on the surface with him opting to not participate.
Those that we spoke to in WWE said there was no heat on Owens that they’d heard of, and word was that he expressed his decision respectfully. They’re hoping to have him back by the next set of tapings, but that status is unclear.
My Take:
- This is good to hear as Owens made a decision for his family. If he doesn’t feel comfortable working, then I am glad that he made the decision.
