Are they actually making any significant money on house shows right now?
Feels like a medium risk, low reward situation WWE could definitely do without.

Are they even breaking even on house shows right now? Holiday sales most likely will be somewhat profitable. Also the talent enjoy working the shows. Anyways, wouldn't be shocked if we see Raquel on the main roster after New Year's Evil on Tuesday, despite a potential Raquel/Charlotte feud being the solution to insomnia.

God, one thing I'll never get used to seeing are house show injuries. I don't know if it's because they're more realistic due to the quality or what but anytime someone gets injured during a house show it's hard for me to watch.
Hope she heals up soon. We don't know how serious it is or what but the fact she continued on with the match, that girl loves this business. Just, wow man.
As for the division man, this is just going to have them keep pushing that Becky/Charlotte WM match that they hinted last year. In theory it could be cool if Bianca, Liv and maybe Asuka, 2 out of the 3 get some shine (preferably the 2 younger talent) but nah. It's the Four Horsewomen. They get pushed like the female Shield so you know how that is.

There’s also Lacey Evans. She looked ready to go in some of her workout instragram posts….
But seriously even if she, Alexa, and Asuka return do they even have 30 women for the Rumble? With releases and injuries it doesn’t feel like they have enough.

If Sasha is out, I’d have Ripley win the Rumble and challenge Flair

Awhile still. Her Instagram stories have shown she can barely even use an exercise bike right now.

I'm going to sound like a jerk but WWE either tries to get in touch with Toni Storm quickly or they gotta call people from NXT up to the main roster soon. Toni left them for a reason. She made that call to leave. So I doubt there is much they can say that will make her come back. The fact reports said after a match, she went directly home and barely said anything when leaving. I doubt she really answers calls from WWE management. Anyway, the big issue is filling the royal Rumble on the womens side. With Sasha out. The roster is barely able to fill it as it is. Since so many left or out with injury. Alexa I'm guessing could be back in it. Bayley is doubtful. I expect her the soonest the Raw after Mania surprise, even that is questionable. Since her IG is showing she barely able to train. She maybe a full year like Rey was at one time.

I don't think its impossible to fill out the Rumble. They will be using a TON of PC talent though, and pretty much the entire NXT Women's division though. Not counting legends either. Anyways, sounds like Sasha seems to be fine going off her tweet from above so this is all a moot point anyways.

Good to hear it was probably just something that hurt in the moment but not a serious injury.

I hope that's correct. Ricky Starks seemed fine after his match with Page and later tests showed he was far from fine. But it's a good sign at least.

That’s a relief. Now do not take any unnecessary chances between now and Mania WWE.

Anyways, wouldn't be shocked if we see Raquel on the main roster after New Year's Evil on Tuesday, despite a potential Raquel/Charlotte feud being the solution to insomnia. Enjoy more than main shows is the world , like Moxley said he enjoyed it more than main shows but that it was still a lot of extra pain to the body. i'm sure most of the frequently used would rather have the day off.

I think overall, they were barely breaking even on them pre-pandemic. They could be money losers now. It's hard to see the MSG show being worth it this year when you only get around 5000 paid for it.

House shows allow for more freedom, and for them to do more fun shit. See Undertaker's hot tag spot, Edge cosplaying as Umaga, Orton begging to be a member of DX while feuding with them so they wouldn't beat him up, and the face locker room emptying out to hit him with their finishers.
