Jim Ross has updated the Q&A section of his official website and revealed that he doesn’t think NXT should replace Smackdown. Here are highlights:
On if NXT should replace SmackDown: “I’d leave NXT on the WWE Network for sure and simply retool Smackdown as both it and RAW could use some overhauls on presentation and creative.”
On why WWE holds non-title matches: “I have no issues with non title matches in general but the reason that started back in the day was to protect the non televised live events.”
On Cesaro: “I’ve expressed many times that I feel that Cesaro is being under utilized both here in our blogs and on our podcast. Wish I had an answer for you.”
