fightful / SRS Q&A Questions

Any updates on when the full AEW catalog will added to Max? Is it a contractual issue or stretching it out for marketing purposes?

Colin Landers

Was there any particular reason AEW stopped doing the custom TNT belts or was it just something that just stopped on its own?

Are there any plans for an Evolution event in 2025? With the secondary women’s titles on each show it would be a great opportunity to showcase the breadth of the women’s roster.

Eric McMahon

2025-01-12 18:14:37 +0000 UTC

Why is it so hard for WWE to stay away from sexual harassment/assault? They had to have known about the accusations towards Lee Fitting prior to the Andrew Marchand article.

Jason Scheller

2025-01-12 18:06:30 +0000 UTC

Whats the plan for Jay White? Have you heard any big plans for him?

Trevor Shepherd

Nesim Bihar

2025-01-12 17:07:14 +0000 UTC

Whats the relationship with between Steve Austin and Triple H? Ive noticed that Stone Cold has yet to make a WWE appearance under the Triple H era. Just wondering if theres anything there or simply a coincidence?

Frank Dinardo

2025-01-12 15:22:46 +0000 UTC

With the time difference I assume it wouldn't happen on TBS, but is there any possibility that AEW/WBD might stream Australia: Grand Slam live on Max? Thanks.

Paul Anthony Moss

2025-01-12 14:34:32 +0000 UTC

Hey Sean. What’s up with Stokely Hathaway? After his split from Kris, it’s like he’s completely disappeared

Jason Fabiano

2025-01-12 14:30:23 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean. Looking at NJPW's US shows - how do they justify all the fly ins? They seem to average 2k or so in attendance. Are the PPV buys STRONG (pun intended)?

Crashboxx

2025-01-12 13:08:30 +0000 UTC

Have you heard about creative plans for the Young Bucks or when they will wrestle again in AEW?

Jawys

2025-01-12 11:16:08 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean, do you think there’s a reason why dax wrestles singles more than cash? Can only think of cash having the one singles match in AEW which was against dax. Would love to see him more 1 on 1

Matthew

2025-01-12 11:11:58 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean. I believe Corey [Brennan] reported that Corey Graves being on NXT this past Tuesday was a one-off, but other outlets have reported that he is back on NXT full-time, so are you able to provide any clarity on this, particularly since he was not on commentary on either Raw or Smackdown?

David Evans

2025-01-12 10:10:01 +0000 UTC

How are you, Sean?

Darren Ward

2025-01-12 07:48:30 +0000 UTC

Mike

2025-01-12 05:43:35 +0000 UTC

Who do you think got the bigger boost from the Bloodline story, Sami or Jey?

Chris Podymaitis

2025-01-12 05:01:24 +0000 UTC

You’ve given us an update on Maria kanellis contract but what about Mike Bennett and Matt taven they all signed at the same time haven’t seen them since World End not even on ROH any news ?

Cody-Wan Kenobi

2025-01-12 04:56:00 +0000 UTC

hey Sean, I appreciate that Triple H hasn't overexposed the Wyatt Sicks, but do you think maybe he's overcorrected by not using them enough? they feel so disconnected from continuity that I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see them not work Mania

Christopher Alt

2025-01-12 04:44:02 +0000 UTC

With so many titles now do you feel championships are watered down and the prestige isn't there? Would consolidation and patience in booking help at least partially resolve this?

siamese dream

2025-01-12 02:36:39 +0000 UTC

Any updates on Nixon Newell's next steps?

Jonathan Stone

2025-01-12 02:16:30 +0000 UTC

Long time listener first time questioner... Who do you think Bron Breaker vs at WM41?

Jordan M

2025-01-12 01:50:46 +0000 UTC

The Trios titles have felt completely worthless since the Acclaimed got involved in the devil storyline over a year ago. What in your opinion was the longest or worst stretch a title had feeling worthless.

Kirk Corley

2025-01-12 01:49:02 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean why would TKO/WWE go into business with someone like Hogan who has a history of racist comments and has even said he was a racist?

Stalla

2025-01-12 01:44:58 +0000 UTC

I meant to add Main event 😫whoops

ReeceW 206

2025-01-12 01:04:45 +0000 UTC

what was the biggest scoop you had, that was either unconfirmed or off the record that you couldn’t post and had to keep secret

Thomas Coote

2025-01-12 00:50:13 +0000 UTC

Can we take no press release about viewers on Max as a sign they were disappointed?

Devin Axtman

2025-01-12 00:32:25 +0000 UTC

Is there a reason for them dropping the Scorpio Sky angle with Private Party? They did that one backstage segment

Johnny DeWitt

2025-01-12 00:31:49 +0000 UTC

Realistically, what short term booking decisions (non specific if need be) could help aew get focused back on divisions? Like, tnt, international, tag. How do we go back to building people via divisions, championship chasing, and titles meaning something?

Arduit says fuck fascists

2025-01-12 00:15:11 +0000 UTC

Hey, SRS, where have Rush, Dralistico, and Preston Vance been? I'm also under the impression that Preston left LFI at some point?

Fightful Select

2025-01-12 00:09:10 +0000 UTC

Where do companies like WWE & AEW get the vehicles that are destroyed in certain segments? I can't imagine when Darby rammed the Death Riders truck it wasn't cheap 😂 looked like a brand new truck!

Kyle Hart

2025-01-11 23:54:39 +0000 UTC

Is NJPW planning to bring in new talent like they did last year with Nemeth and that other guy I like to pretend never happened or are they looking to continue to build from within as well as re-sign talent like Finlay and Gabe Kidd?

Elvis Cage

2025-01-11 23:44:48 +0000 UTC

Is Corey permanently on NXT now? Was there no room for him on raw or smackdown? He is too talented for the "demotion"....and he didn't seem too happy during the NXT open this past Tuesday.

The Mayor Pete

Ry

2025-01-11 23:38:00 +0000 UTC

Now that the rock seems out for wrestlemania 41 (not wrestling at the very least) do you think maybe we will get something with him wrestling at summerslam Especially if WWE wants to make “hot wrestlemania” a huge deal considering its the first time ever for the two day event. Granted it would be hard with the babyface promos from the past week but we could see Rock vs Roman there.

Kevin

2025-01-11 23:37:16 +0000 UTC

Do you ever see a referee being inducted into WWE HOF? I know Charles Robinson has been there for years including His run in WCW

Jon

2025-01-11 23:33:51 +0000 UTC

Any idea when the summer PLE schedule will be announced. Seems like they are going to different places with the TV tour in europe. Mexico, South america, and Japan all seem likely as well as Australia was rumored for fall? Thanks in advance!

Wyatt

2025-01-11 23:29:08 +0000 UTC

When do you expect the Young Bucks to return to AEW TV and do they feud with the Death Riders at this point?

Terry Hanratta

2025-01-11 23:14:14 +0000 UTC

I'm not much of a video game guy, but I saw on reddit issues with WWE2k24. Has there been any indication that WWE was aware of complaints about WWE2k24's My faction and the game NOT being ADA accessible?

Steven Bucklew

2025-01-11 23:06:31 +0000 UTC

With Raw on Netflix, WWE really raised the bar for their production . What can other companies do to increase production values without spending WWE levels of money?

Ken Dickson

2025-01-11 23:01:11 +0000 UTC

S

2025-01-11 22:56:27 +0000 UTC

Ramón Valle

Mikeike

2025-01-11 22:42:41 +0000 UTC

Hi Sean. Have they given up on Danhausen again? Thought there would be an MxM feud, but nothing

Phil Roberts

2025-01-11 22:41:57 +0000 UTC

Thoughts on the "turn the lights off" chant? While it's only fair for a live crowd to see what they paid for, it takes away from the match and atmosphere and I feel bad for the wrestlers.

Big AHA

2025-01-11 22:39:38 +0000 UTC

ShotgunnSean

2025-01-11 22:25:45 +0000 UTC

Is there any push back from the other sponsors like Mars or Fortnite sharing ring ad space with Hogans beer espically after the reaction he got on Monday.

James D Deuchars Jr

2025-01-11 22:24:22 +0000 UTC

To the best of your knowledge what do those inside AEW and WWE think of all the championships they have? AEW, counting ROH, has 15. WWE, counting NXT, has 18. Any talk of merging any titles in either company?

Phillip McConnell

2025-01-11 22:22:05 +0000 UTC

Good evening Sean,hope all is well over there. HHH was a guest on Pat McAfee show last year noticing his large building and agreed to have a NXT PLE in the studio building.

Ty Dunker

2025-01-11 22:21:06 +0000 UTC

What are your thoughts on AEW letting people out of their contracts who aren’t working , moving up some talent from ROH and then signing some young good talent like Brittnie Brooks and others so ROH can be a development brand for real.
