Hi SRS, what's happening with Britt Baker in AEW, is she on her way out?

Britt still has quite a while left on her deal. There are private reasons for her time off right now, but she's open to returning from what I understand.

Sean, why don’t we see more wrestlers do what Takeshita does and sign contracts with multiple companies, like why couldn’t/Doesnt say a Gabe Kidd sign a contract with both?

He could sign with both, if each company agreed to it. I think this is what would have happened if AEW didn't launch in 2019. I think that ROH/NJPW dual contracts were probably going to be the direction. It didn't happen when Young Bucks' deals were coming up back then, though.

Where do you see Hangman’s story arc going through the rest of the year? Does he reunite the elite with Kenny?

I think that Omega ends up in his path at some point. I think we're headed towards an era where Swerve, Hangman, Kenny and Ospreay are protected, over babyfaces, that way when they clash, there are big matches there. I specifically think he and Swerve will get on the same page.
