Have you heard anything from AEW Tony khan reaction to WWE buying AAA?
I can't speak to Tony Khan's reaction personally, but a number of people I spoke to were surprised that WWE bought AAA. One person familiar with the scene believe that WWE could have just started NXT Mexico separately.
Is Steph officially back in WWE or is she just “helping out” as like a voluntary brand ambassador? I’m happy to see her on screen these days but she seems to be very active now with her interview series and podcasts.
Every time I ask, I'm told she doesn't have an official job title. Obviously she's connected to the company as her husband still helps run things, and they heavily promote her projects. She's always been treated as a welcome presence at the shows, and the talent have long liked her.
Any recent news or updates on the future of Bryan Danielson?
He told me in December he was feeling pretty terrible. People in AEW are of the belief he hasn't wrestled his last match. He was hoping to avoid surgery, and we haven't heard if that's changed. He's been backstage here and there and still works with AEW.
Comments
If we being honest, I think it was just cheaper to buy AAA, keep the talent and just send someone over there to oversee everything and work on the business part, getting deals like that. I feel like they learned from NXT UK that trying to just start a promotion and get talent and pay them is just too much money, where they can buy one promotion, keep the talent that's already there, you don't have to make any new titles, it's pretty smart. I think that's the new plan. I still don't think they'll aquire TNA, but I can see they buying Noah, maybe bringing back UK, they have Mexico now.
