Recently, on the SRS Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp answered the questions of the wrestling universe. One question was regarding TJ Wilson aka Tyson Kidd, who is not seen around as a WWE producer. 

Sean said, “A few weeks ago I had heard that TJ Wilson had grown frustrated. The reason I didn’t run a story on this is because I had heard conflicting things from people that work with him, that are close with him, the company itself.”

Everyone praised TJ for booking the Main Event on Day 1 of WrestleMania 37, Sasha Banks vs. Bianca Belair. The entire women’s division admires TJ, as he produces their matches well. Thus, it frustrated them when they heard that he was not going to be the producer of the Women’s Royal Rumble.
