Friday news and notes (Patreon)

- I'd mentioned that ahead of both Fastlane and Smackdown, several wrestlers had no idea what was going on with their spots at WrestleMania. That was still the case as of this morning. 

- If the Undertaker has any involvement in WrestleMania, those we've spoken to have been tight lipped about it. 

- Eminem's rep Dennis Dennehy reached out to Fightful this week after the story we broke, but hasn't followed up.

- To follow up on WWE's producers and how well they've been received, several of the new people brought in to the company were brought in with undefined roles -- as Bruce Prichard has mentioned was the case for him initially. Shane Helms was brought in originally as a possible PC coach, and Jarrett as a road agent before shifting to other roles.
