WWE announced last week that Rhea Ripley was injured with a broken orbital bone. There is still no timetable for her return, but there was hope making the rounds among talents this week that the injury may not be as bad as initially feared. We are told Ripley was earmarked for a big role at Wrestlemania, so the company is crossing their fingers. Stay tuned if and when we can confirm more, but my gut is that if Ripley can return sooner than later, they will hide it for maximum dramatic effect on TV.
For those who have asked about the status of Michael Hayes and Bruce Prichard within WWE after reports made by Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer, we can confirm that as of today, both are still with the company. Hayes has been off in recent weeks to attend to a personal situation (said to be medical in nature), which is also preventing him from attending tomorrow's Big Event convention in Long Island, NY. We are told Bobby Roode has been getting raves internally for stepping up and handling a lot of the talents and matches Hayes would usually be involved in. We are told Hayes is expected back sooner than later.
In the case of Prichard, the word we have heard is he is also off the road. We are told that internally, there has been no change to his status with the company, but he isn't expected back until the end of the month, if not longer. In the case of Prichard, there's been rumors passed around, but nothing we've been able to source as correct and in many cases, the rumors have been outright denied to us. Since the Internet likes to assume things are correct when there's nothing to it (see: Fatu, Jacob outrage earlier this week), I highly advise caution when it comes to believing everything being thrown against the wall.
There are absolutely plans in place for Smackdown and Raw to both be three hours as of January with discussion of adding some talents from NXT to the roster at that point.

The belief among those we've spoken with is there are around 20 WWE ID talents in total currently. While this is all subject to change, but it does not appear the distinction will come with any barriers on where talents wrestle or who they can wrestle. One has to think that if one of those talents took a booking to do jobs in AEW/ROH, etc. that could quickly change, but that's conjecture on my part.
There is talk among some indy talents that those signed will receive some sort of stipend to help them with their journey across the indy scene, the idea of which had lots of indy talents excited about the idea of vying for an ID distrinction down the line. We have not been able to confirm that the stipend is the case but it's being talked about by talents.
The word making the rounds at this week's AEW tapings was that Julia Hart is expected back fairly soon. We are told that the promotion already has produced videos to build to her return to the company from injury and that they've been well received internally.
For those asking why Will Ospreay disappeared for a few weeks, we are told it was routine work visa renewal situation that required him to remain home in the UK until completed.
In speaking to several NXT talents, they were blown away by the atmosphere at the NXT 2300 Arena taping and hoped the company would return there at some point, even if it was just live events. We are told that all the ECW Originals were happy to give advice to anyone who asked. The company specifically went to The Philadelphia Museum of Art Steps (where Rocky was filmed), The Liberty Bell, the former Tony Luke's and Geno's Cheesesteaks as well as down by the pier to give the show a different flavor and lean into the Philly history. The hope among talents is that they'll do similar shoots and tapings in other cities. One talent specifically pointed out The Hammerstein Ballroom as where they'd like to see NXT emanate an episode from in the future.
