Select Answers: NXT, Sheamus, Rhea Ripley

Welcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.

What is the status of Sheamus’ WWE contract?

He re-signed on a multi-year contract a few weeks ago. WWE is hopeful they'll have him there through the end of his career. His deal was originally up earlier this year, but injury time was said to be added.

Chances of Rhea Ripley being traded to Smackdown eventually? Seems that’s where all the women her size are for her to fight.

Nothing is set in stone, but I'd expect to see a shuffling once the shows switch networks. USA Network is getting all the main roster talent right now, but Netflix is going to be a major priority. We've heard some names that Netflix has asked for that we're nailing down as well.

If there was going to be a “Lex Luger on Nitro” type of debut/return on NXT this week or next, who would be your guess?

If you mean a talent that was signed somewhere last week and is appearing this week as a shock surprise, I wouldn't expect anyone.
