Dave Meltzer mentioned that The Game is not in any conversation to continue leading the black and gold brand. He stated, “There are no plans right now, or even if Paul Levesque will return to running NXT or for him to do any creative in the company due to health issues. Obviously, if his health improves and if he wants to, that could change, but the word is that it’s not anything people have been told is happening imminently.“
