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 going on with Jimmy Uso?

WWE hasn't commented officially, but we've spoken to numerous talent who said they reached out to Jimmy Uso, and that Jimmy said he was "fine." We don't have any context behind that. There had been reports a couple of months ago indicating Jimmy Uso was returning soon. We've never heard that as of the point it was reported. If something worse is going on, Jimmy at least hasn't told the people we've spoken to.

Do you have any update on Zilla Fatu. Is he signed with WWE ?

Zilla Fatu has not signed with WWE. He had a disagreement with GCW about an agreed rate and didn't work this past weekend's show. We're told he has a management team that wanted to speak with GCW, but it didn't end up happening. GCW and Zilla have been in contact, but we aren't sure if the two sides will work together again. We reached out to Zilla directly but haven't heard back.

Were WWE management happy with Bret Hart’s appearance on Raw? Are we likely to see more collaboration with Bret and WWE moving forward?

I've heard nothing negative from WWE's side. He was under the weather before his appearance and it was touch and go whether or not he'd appear. I haven't heard of any expectation to get physical during these appearances. In Calgary, they pretty well want him to come out and show his face. The current regime has definitely put an emphasis on trying to maintain more positive relationships with Legends from a lot of perspectives.
