Block 3:

Taz welcomes Mike Johnson from PWInsider to the show.

Johnson informs that NXT Superstar Hideo Itami is set to join 205 Live in the coming days. They weren’t really investing a lot of time in him on NXT as of late and he’s been treading water there for a while. Taz thinks that bringing Itami onto 205 Live will help that show and it will certainly help Itami as well.

Johnson also informs that Lio Rush was training at WWE’s Performance Centre yesterday as if nothing happened. He’s fairly certain that someone from management spoke to Rush concerning the tweet he sent out regarding Emma’s release over the weekend, but there doesn’t appear to be any further repercussions. Taz says that he knows for a fact that Rush was spoken to by an NXT official, but he won’t name that person.

Johnson points out that WWE has brought in people in the past to talk to their talents about how to effectively use social media. He thinks that perhaps another one of those sessions are in order because it’s essential that their talents avoid causing issues for themselves and the company with their actions online.
