Metro Boomin' has been very vocal lately about wanting to produce WWE themes. Has WWE considered using him for that at all?

Pardon my language but they fuckin' better. I'm so tired of the lazy, uninspired music they have. They can't use the excuse that it's one act producing them, because Mikey Rukus by himself does a better job in AEW. Dale Oliver, Jim Johnston, Jimmy Hart all did better. Metro Boomin could fart into a fuckin tuba and be better than Def Rebel.

We've seen Abadon and Bear Bronson reveal that their contracts have expired recently. Without giving names, can you confirm there's more names soon to pop up in a similar manner?

Yes. Most of these companies don't actually announce departures. For AEW, usually their roster page is a good indication of who is on the roster. As of Friday, Abadon still remained on the page.

I believe you reported that Mariah May was on a two-year contract with AEW, but I believe her run only stretched from January 2024 through March 2025 (15 months). Can you talk about why that would be? Did AEW have her under contract for a while before she started wrestling for them? If so, is that kind of buffer standard? Thanks for all the great work!

She was signed in the Summer of 2023. I can't say specifically when, because I don't know. But it was a two year deal and is up very soon. But she also started on AEW TV in November 2023, a little ahead of your timetable.
