Any news on Kiana James?

The last I heard she was healing up from her injury. PWN had reported that her name had been brought up creatively.

Where is jack Perry?

Chilling at home, creating cool shit out of iron by the looks of it. I haven't heard much brought up about him lately. It's kind of wild to realize he's still only 27. I am never in favor of talent being benched if they want to be used, but I don't know if that's the particular situation he's in.

Do you think AEW could bring back dark and/or dark elevation but have it play on MAX instead of YouTube? I would think that it would do well.

There have definitely long been people in the company who have wanted AEW Dark to come back in almost any iteration, but I'll give some background on why it went away. When AEW did the deal for Collision, WBD wanted exclusivity of AEW content as a result (ROH was fine to continue). When the new AEW deal got worked out, it was just for Dynamite and Collision. AEW was able to get paid more, while dropping Rampage -- so at least 52 less hours of TV a year, and were able to drop the WBD exclusivity. Anything that appears on WBD, AEW is going to look to get a rights fee for. Otherwise, they'd just put it on their Youtube or HonorClub.
