Days until WrestleMania 40: 22
First off, Scott Hall\'s name trended on social media all day yesterday. He passed away two years ago on 3/14. He will never be forgotten, and you may check out a tribute post here.
WWE:
- Brock Lesnar is not any closer to making a return to WWE. He is not being thought of in any creative capacity. After a report of a \"movement\" within WWE to bring him back, I asked around and was told that there is no movement to bring Brock Lesnar back within WWE. I was told that “No one is going to get involved in that situation. This is a legal issue and until the lawyers decide that Brock is to be brought back, there is no movement at all, or a movement on his behalf.”
