On whether or not it’s a crazy idea that Brock Lesnar could win the Royal Rumble in 2016:

NP: I always push for someone who needs a push to win the Royal Rumble. For me I’m always going for that sort of upper mid-card guy that needs that main event level push. I’m thinking this time around, does it make sense for The Beast to win the Royal Rumble and steamroll his way to WrestleMania? Finally you get that pay off. You put over that talent who is on the verge of breaking out as a main event star. Do you do that then at WrestleMania? With Lesnar taking all this momentum with him on The Road to WrestleMania?

On Dana White saying that he is going to be using a reality show to scout CM Punk’s first UFC opponent:

NP: I think it’s a great idea. We talked about this last week. When we said that, “The longer CM Punk is off television the more his stock drops. The more his popularity and that idea of, ‘This guy, this ex-pro wrestler, what’s he going to do? How’s he going to make the transition?'” The more that kind of hype deflates. Getting him back on television and exposing himself to an audience. I don’t care what it is. A reality show, a game show… I don’t care if it’s just footage of CM Punk shampooing his hair. Getting him out there on television is great. It’s reintroducing him to people who forgot about him and to people who don’t know who he is. I don’t think this reality show is just about finding CM Punk’s opponent. That is to kind of clarify. The details are scarce at this time but I think this is just an “in general UFC reality show” that Dana White is putting together. A portion of it, some of it will focus on perhaps choosing CM Punk’s first UFC opponent.
