Has Alberto del Patron been released from AAA?

No, a fake account posted that.

What happened with stu Grayson after his re-signing to AEW

He didn't really get used much unfortunately. He's a fantastic wrestler, and incredibly underrated. He left AEW and has been keeping a busy scheduled on the Canadian indie scene. He was one of the best performers I saw all of WWE Summerslam 2019 week in Toronto.

I follow WWE only through recap podcasts, and I was legit shocked at how much the tone of the commentary has shifted just during the week or two surrounding Mania. It felt like a dozen different problems with the product or the personnel suddenly erupted at once for people. Does the tenor of the commentary reflect the mood of the talent inside, and do you think it's representative of a noteworthy chunk of the audience, or is it just people talking online?

The WWE product is still hot. There were a lot of booking tendencies that were highlighted around WrestleMania season. In addition, a lot of deserving talent were left off a WrestleMania that was overshadowed in some degrees by the interviews surrounding it, both before and after. The Rock's unexplained absence and surging ticket prices have definitely helped lend to the increase in criticism.
