10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Nov 8)

Questions about changes to Raw, Lesnar's reign and more...

It was a busy week for WWE with some major news. If you're a WWE fan in the United Kingdom and Ireland then you're probably pretty mad about the way WWE changed the course for WWE Network. Instead of launching on Monday, WWE Network was postponed indefinitely in the UK market and fans have no idea when it might appear. The timing is awful because WWE's currently touring Europe with next week's TV tapings for both Raw & Smackdown taking place in England. Don't be surprised if some fans are booing although Raw will be tape delayed here in North America, so they'll likely edit the boos out. There was also the announcement from WWE that Smackdown is going to move to Thursday nights in January instead of Friday. The move has been rumored since the spring when WWE announced their new TV deal with NBC Universal and the expectation was that Syfy would want to move it. More people watch television on Thursdays, so it makes sense. For me here in Canada, we found out that it's going to air on Wednesdays because Sportsnet 360 up here usually shows hockey on Thursday nights. I like the Wednesday placement for us. In terms of on screen news, the big news was that Randy Orton got beat up by The Authority after he lost clean to Seth Rollins on Raw. Orton will be filming the WWE Films production The Condemned 2 starting this week, so it was WWE's way of writing him out. He may still appear at Survivor Series although don't expect an official announcement. It would be a surprise as part of the storyline with him in the babyface role. There was also a US Title change on WWE Network after Raw with Rusev beating Sheamus clean to become the US Champion. Should they change the name of the title to the Russian Championship just to upset fans? It's not necessary, but it would sure add to his heat. Here is this week's question and answer feature. The questions from our readers that tweeted me @johnreport on Friday and the answers are from me.
