have you any plans on looking into Netflixs integration of WWE content? I recall you asking on X for people to hit you up if they noticed any changes to entrance music etc. I've found some of their exclusions of some shows odd, having every Survivor Series from 1987-1999 then for some reason missing out 2000 and the WWF vs Alliance show for an example.

Where do you think the recently released wwe superstars will end up in wich company

Thomas Griffin

Will this be more of a 2005 HBK heel run for Cena that is just for this feud, or could this continue on at least into the summer before a redemption arc at the very end of his career?

Ryan Dempsey

Any news on what Iyo Sky could potentially be doing for wrestlemania

thanks so much robert!!

Was a Cena heel for WrestleMania in the works, with or without the Rock's involvement?

Dong Phallus

Is Gabe Kidd and Clark Connors showing up in AEW just an Ishii type situation, or is there more going on?

Beau Borchardt

2025-03-03 15:54:02 +0000 UTC

Hey SRS, with WWE labeling the men’s EC from Saturday as “the winner will main event Wrestlemania” does that take away from whichever Rumble winner doesn’t main event night one or two? if this doesn’t make sense I’m still recovering from a family wedding last night haha.

Connor Augenstein

Hi Sean love being a member with fightful love getting all the best news and podcasts

What were your impressions of Toronto (asking as a Torontonian)?

Peter Konieczny

2025-03-03 04:35:05 +0000 UTC

Cutting Indi was the sign to me they didn't really have any plans for the Wyatts - a story with she and Dexter should have been a gimme

Talia

You speak a lot of truth my friend 100%

Kevin

They were the old school rubber figures that WWF used to make. Matt Cardona does a form of them now called Big Rubber Guy

Chris Rains

2025-03-03 02:07:26 +0000 UTC

LJN?

Mark

2025-03-03 02:01:11 +0000 UTC

Who do you see as being next in line to challenge for the AEW women’s title after Revolution? There doesn’t seem to be any obvious next challengers

Mark

2025-03-03 02:00:58 +0000 UTC

Is AEW not doing LJNs anymore? They had announced a Britt Baker LJN two years ago at the All Out fan fest but that never happened. The last 4 waves have not had any

Chris Rains

2025-03-03 01:50:13 +0000 UTC

Should we expect the Young Bucks back on AEW TV soon? Maybe Revolution?

2025-03-03 00:30:29 +0000 UTC

Will there be a new Cena heel theme?

Phil Roberts

2025-03-03 00:15:52 +0000 UTC

I dont want to be a guy who compares companies. But I feel like the Wyatt’s fall into a similar creative fall to the death riders. In the sense that attempted murder was they first started and couldnt really top that unfortunately

Jayson Major

2025-03-02 23:26:44 +0000 UTC

I may be in the minority but I think this is the wrong time for a heel cena. What is your opinion?

Mark D

2025-03-02 22:58:57 +0000 UTC

Logan Paul seems to take inspiration from Hangman Page, do you know if they’ve talked at all?

Chris Podymaitis

2025-03-02 22:51:11 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean, Reports say Guilia is banged up and need time off, which could lead to her dropping the belt to stephanie. if its just bumps and bruises that she is dealing withand she is clearded enough to wresltle in a week and a half is there a way for the to get out of the match without either stephanie or guilia pinning one another? is there like another way around the match not happening? like a beatdown of some sorts from fatal influence?

Kamonte Jackson

2025-03-02 22:22:30 +0000 UTC

You had mentioned not many talent knew about the Cena turn. Did any of the competitors in the chamber know?

Alicia Williamson

2025-03-02 21:15:36 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean, thanks for all the hard work. Do you think this association between Cena and The Rock continues post Wrestlemania or is that where it concludes?

James Brown

2025-03-02 21:13:36 +0000 UTC

Hello Sean! Can't wait for the new LJN Video you & Jimmy made. I wanted to ask a figure related question, are you still collecting the AEW figures? I remember you talking about buying the first few sets a while back and I was curious if you're still collecting them especially with all the new characters that are coming from the recent signings (Ospreay, Okada, Mercedes). Thanks

Alex Mahoney

2025-03-02 21:07:43 +0000 UTC

Since Kai and SKY defeated Liv and Raquel a few weeks ago, any chance they run it back for the tag titles at Mania?

-

2025-03-02 21:06:24 +0000 UTC

I can’t give an update but if she’s still on the AEW roster section of the website then she’s still with company *edit She’s still there and they have also removed leyla Hirsch so that’s probably a sign she’s still signed

Jayson Major

2025-03-02 21:03:36 +0000 UTC

What is the plan for John cena after wrestlelamia

Robert Mccarthy

2025-03-02 20:32:29 +0000 UTC

When do you think Roman will be back on TV to start his Wrestlemania storyline?

Jon

2025-03-02 20:14:59 +0000 UTC

Random thought but what ever happened to Lei D Tapa in tna? Seems like she was a good heel but fell short in the ring with gail?

J.halt

2025-03-02 20:02:46 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean, has WWE always done a presser after a ppv, or is this some they started doing after seeing AEW doing them and that they got a lot of attention from them?

Stalla

2025-03-02 19:25:54 +0000 UTC

Was there an edict that Kevin and Sami didn’t bleed because of the Cena angle?

Devin Axtman

2025-03-02 19:23:23 +0000 UTC

Was there any resistance to Cena's heel turn due to his popularity amongst kids/families? He isn't an active fixture for WWE like his prime years, and guys like Cody have started to step into that role, but Cena has always been the face of the company when it comes to charity events, make-a-wish, etc., so, I'm curious if this was a tough decision for him or WWE, or if everyone was on board without any concerns?

Have you and Alex considered doing a watch along for Dynamite?

Scott Alexander

2025-03-02 18:54:02 +0000 UTC

How long has that been the plan?

AmericanLAKnightmare

2025-03-02 18:31:21 +0000 UTC

Hi SRS. How are you? With the new WWE Evolve show set to debut this week, does NXT management see it as a stepping stone to a spot on Tuesday's weekly show?

Lior Brownstein

2025-03-02 18:26:14 +0000 UTC

With Cena vs Cody most likely headlining night 2 of WM 41, which match do you see headlining night 1? If I were to guess it be Punk vs Rollins vs Reigns if thats the match they go with.

Frank Dinardo

2025-03-02 18:24:56 +0000 UTC

Where does Bayley go now? Please tell me NOT Stand and Deliver with Roxanne. Bayley is WAY too nice.

Hey Sean, any word on what’s going on with Wardlow in AEW?

Tyler Huber

2025-03-02 18:11:41 +0000 UTC

What are we expecting for the future of the Wyatts? They had some crazy impact last year but have fallen off the face of the earth since. Thank you as always

Kevin

Bob Catface

2025-03-02 17:46:22 +0000 UTC

James Willems used to have an AEW podcast with Scorpio Sky during the pandemic. He's now wrestling as James Angel in Millennium Pro Wrestling in California and looks great! Could you see a path for Willems back to AEW/ROH at some point in a wrestling capacity?

Since it was a hot topic on the internet with Drake at Elimination Chamber, what are the actual chances of Kendrick Lamar appearing on AEW programming?

Thomas Rathert

2025-03-02 17:31:36 +0000 UTC

We all know Cody vs Cena will headline Night 2. But who in your opinion should main event night 1 of WM. The Rhea Ripley match, Jey Uso, Charlotte Flair, perhaps the Roman/Seth/Punk match or something else?

ShotgunnSean

2025-03-02 17:30:08 +0000 UTC

Are the Iyo Sky fans going to get their hearts ripped out this mania season?

Matthew Snyder

2025-03-02 17:29:55 +0000 UTC

Have you heard anything about Cena's last match potentially being a PLE in December in Boston? Some rumors have it being called Ruthless Agression on 12/27 at TD Garden.

Alex

2025-03-02 17:26:22 +0000 UTC

thoughts on Triple H's comments about the women main eventing? Seeing as he's in charge of booking and watching Bayley/Io get no tv time last year, it doesn't really make sense.

Chris

2025-03-02 17:25:35 +0000 UTC

How much coaching to celebrities get when they are planned to join a wrestler in the ring or join them ring side? More recently Travis Scott seemed lost, that rapper who followed Jey to the ring was smoking a joint - are they given specific rules or is it more loose?

Paul Anthony Moss

Was there ever a reason given for Dasha being let go from AEW and replaced with Arkady? She seemed well liked on the surface though I do recall some flubs.

Curious as to why Smackdown is only temporarily 3 hours? What's WWE's thought process behind it only being 3 hours for x number of months and then putting it back to 2?

Viper017

2025-03-02 17:14:59 +0000 UTC

Do you think that the last couple years are in any way coincidence or do you think we could see a trend with Wrestlemania going where the Super Bowl was the previous year?

Casey

2025-03-02 17:03:58 +0000 UTC

I've noticed more usage of the "WWF" logo and name on Netflix, WWE Vault YouTube, and A&E programing lately. Any reason as to why? And why a company like 2K isn't allowed to do the same?

Jacob Kaye

2025-03-02 16:54:42 +0000 UTC

hey Sean, I love that they let Akira Tozawa show a little fire against Gunther on Raw, it reminded me a bit of that Triple H vs. TAKA match back in 2000. do you know if there have been any creative plans to elevate Tozawa a little bit? I feel like people would get really behind him if he got a couple wins over some midcard guys

Shawn Garner

2025-03-02 16:50:12 +0000 UTC

Why doesn’t the WWE partner with a sports betting service to post odds for PLE’s much like the UFC does with Stake.com? Perhaps it’s because the odds are normally too wide and essentially give away the finish coupled with WWE’s kid-friendly nature. That said, having big dogs win in those wide odds cases would only drive up business and add to the shock value (e.g., Jey Uso’s Rumble win) while giving the WWE another tool to use in storytelling.

Any idea on the direction for the women’s tag titles @ Mania? I really hope for an actual storyline rather than a bunch of women thrown in a match. Maybe Dakota/Iyo since they’ve beaten Liv/Raquel.
