Sorry if this was asked before but what is going on with Alexa bliss/wyatt 6? The last time they were both mentioned on TV was the teaser with Alexa. Do they not have creative for either?

The information I was given is that there were some plans to tie Alexa Bliss in creatively with the Wyatt 6. Bo Dallas' injury led to WWE keeping the entire group off TV. Alexa Bliss returned at the Rumble, signed a new contract, and was taken off TV and removed from the Mania week schedule. One person intimated to me that the Wyatts may need to wait until or after Mania to return because creative was already set.

Where has Scorpio Sky been? Is he in another situation where they're waiting out the contract instead of giving them work? It would have made a lot of sense for him to be in or even against Hurt Syndicate. I think he and Shelton could tear the roof off a building.

This is one of the more puzzling situations. As best I know, he's healthy and good to go. There was creative pitched and started for he and Private Party, then he was just taken off TV and nothing else was cooked up for him.

When matches have a guest referee do wrestlers seamlessly fill the referee role since they are constantly in the ring or is it different or harder than it looks ex. an outfielder playing infield?

It's harder than it looks. Almost always, first timers will get tips from a referee. Refereeing seems easy, because the people who do it make it look easy. Almost every show, refs are working 1-2 matches, and way more if it's the indies. Their experiences piles up pretty quickly.
