Select Answers: WBD-AEW, Free Agents, Saudi-WWE
Added 2025-01-07 17:00:07 +0000 UTCWelcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.
What exactly did WBD mean when they directed AEW to "ramp up" (or whatever) the Cincinnati shows?
It's an important date from an ad sales standpoint, from what I understand. They wanted AEW to make sure it was a show that they put some power into, and AEW did that .
Hey Sean will the god awful idea of hosting a Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia count as one of their 2 annual PLEs or will those two be additional?
I would not be surprised to see WWE only do one Saudi PLE this year, since they're going back so early next year.
Are there any notable current free agents from Japan or Europe having serious interests in getting signed from WWE and AEW?
Personally, I think Kevin Knight would make the jump if there was WWE and AEW interest. If it was continuing with TNA or doing MLW, he could just keep working NJPW.

2025-01-07 18:35:24 +0000 UTCI’m hoping New Japan is able to keep a good chunk of their gaijin talent this year. I think as good as Kevin is he would benefit even more if NJPW uses him more regularly in Japan. Also, in my mind, Gabe Kidd has to be (arguably) the top priority to keep right now.
