Robbie Kelly

Any information on what TNA is expecting with the new national tv contract in Canada? Do they expect Sportsnet to work with them to expand or is it just programming to them? Does Sportsnet have any expectations? I know that’s 3 questions but kind of 1 general idea. It seemed to come out of nowhere.

Chris Doyle

Thanks

Robert Moore

Dude lives in Canada

Stalla

He has said before that no one has creative control.

Stalla

Yes

Stalla

Hi Sean maybe you have answered this question already, but wondering what is going on with Brit Baker?

Stalla

Was going to ask the same thing.

Lord Zypher

Any chance it’s Mox Vs Cope at Dynamite Carnage, and Cope leaves Mox beaten for Christian Cage to cash in? Would be a great transition towards the end of Death Riders story.

Robbie Wray

Any update on if Stone Cold Steve Austin will on the Netflix debut?

Frank Dinardo

Is Roxanne Perez on her way to the main roster before Mania?

none

Fightful Select

Is Athena under an AEW contract or an ROH contract? Or are both contracts fundamentally the same?

Viper017

Is there any word of how bandido is doing after Final Battle?

Michael Sargent

Because they probably don't wanna tell anyone that they have NO time constraints and will be booking accordingly.

Ricardo Name TBD

Ibushi?

Joseph Kelly

Do you think Rev pro booked the finish for the Mercedes match at wrestle dynasty since there belt was also on the line

robert davis

Is there a set release schedule for aews back catalog on max?? Right now it's mainly just 2019 and I am curious when they will drop 2020 stuff?

Alyssa Hudgins

From what you know, was the Raw Roulette wheel rigged or a shoot? i think back to the Lita/Victoria Cage Match and wonder were they just prepared or was that always the plan.

Kobe

Is Lilian Garcia back full time/signed to a long term deal or is she announcing until they can find a permanent person for SmackDown!?

Jack Edathil

Did the WWE and/or The Miz get any flak from the LA Clippers for The Miz’ comments about James Harden?

Jon

Whats the thing you’re most excited about when it comes to wrestling this year?

Johan Acosta

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

Thanks for the update! I am no longer on Twitter. Retracting my question!

Sam Accardi

What will Gunther do at Mania if Cody-Cena happens?

James Brown

Who was Kenny talking about in his after match promo? Someone NJPW wouldn’t allow in the building much less his corner?

Jim Wright

Anything on new TNA tv deals either in the US or international?

Gerard Ryan

What are the odds we get The Rock vs John Cena at any point at all in 2025?

Shaun James

Hey Sean! Assuming Omega vs Okada isn’t for the world title, what match would you like to see main event All In Texas?

James

I think Dustin announced he resigned on Twitter himself few days ago

Ryan Grenert

With Rock coming back for Raw. Does this shift the Roman/Punk wm41 match thats was being discussed?

Ryan Grenert

Any update on Hook’s contract status with AEW?

Tanner Lee

Any update on HOOKs contract status? Last year the reports elsewhere were that it would expire in 2024 but that doesn’t seem to be the case?

CookieDoh58

Hey SRS! Wondering if there's any update on Hologram? Maybe a tentative timetable or somesuch?

Melancholy Brumley

Favorite movie, song, and tv show of 2024?

Michael Bunge

Sam Accardi

Did you hear of any interesting backstage reactions to CM Punks return that weren’t shown on the behind the scenes clip WWE released a little bit ago?

Chris Podymaitis

Any idea if the plan now is for Seth/Punk to be a one-off, or building to a multi-match feud? Seems like it deserves to.

Alicia Williamson

Any idea why AEW made such little hype out of Wrestle Dynasty. Felt like a Forbidden Door style card and they barely mentioned it. Is it more being the first week on MAX or Kenny having his first big match outside of AEW? Either way they really downplayed it for how much of their talent was on it.

Challenge Mania

The price increase goes in effect at the end of January, so it will first take place in February right?

Robert Moore

What are the chances Mina shirakawa pulls a vaquer and signs with wwe in the future?

FSK

Any news on Pete Dunne’s contract? Pretty sure he got a 3 year deal in 2021 and hasn’t been booked too well since getting his name back, feels like he might be on the way out

Aidan Sattler

Does Takeshita signing with New Japan mean he’ll be used less in AEW and kept out of any world title programs?

Stephen Totilo

What happened to Stokely Hathaway?

Alex

Is there any plans for more members to be added to the Deathriders? It's seems to be a small crew of multiple top tier guys in the roster are coming after Mox and the title

Kay Friskie

Any news on Tyler Bate?

ShotgunnSean

I know she's been having all sorts of adventures in her life as of late, but any chance there's any news regarding Alexa Bliss's return? And if she were to return, would she be a Goddess, a Firefly, or a force against the Sicks?

Arthur from Natural 9

There's been some discourse ranging from analyst speculation to friends of those close to the situation that Jon Moxley is booking AEW's main event picture (himself and the Death Riders). Is there any validity to this? If so, do you think Tony exercise his power to pivot if fans continue to reject the angle?

Dong Phallus

Hey Sean! One things I’ve been meaning to ask you is what are your favorite scenes/characters in both Home Alone 1 & 2? I love the movies just as much as you do! Also, we can agree that anything Home Alone 3 and after is unwatchable garbage, right? lol. Thanks as always!

BBQdad105

Any idea if TNA will be on any other networks/RSNs besides what has been announced?

Mike G

Do people like Danhausen or Ricky Starks believe in some capacity that their relationship with CM punk has affected their standing in AEW? Brody King has been on TV consistently even after being known as a pro-Punk guy.

Jose Balderas

Where’s uncle howdy???

Josh Headey

Realistic chances TNA gets another new UK, India or US TV deal

Rcs

With the issues AEW has had with Rush, has there been any talk of his release after the last incident?

John Thee Punisher

Is WWE (or anyone) running The Sphere during Mania weekend? I find it hard to believe WWE isn't running that venue during Mania Weekend but I thought they announced the arena for Raw and Smackdown.

Pete Cody

Which women from nxt would you like to see called up?

John Halton

Whats good SRS. About how many Wrestlers have Creative Control in AEW? I'm guessing Mox and MJF for sure

Current Veronica is not Good.

2024 was a big year for free agency. Who are some notable names for 2025?

Danny Stratton

I see that AEW has Revolution graphics on their trons for TV shows, yet nothing for Grand Slam in Australia. What is with the lack of promotion for that show?

Thomas Rathert

Since rock on raw tomorrow is it a one off or does it set up his mania match

matthew hamm

Any news on wheat some of the women will be doing at mania? Women like Bayley, Alexa, Nia, Naomi, PFC, Unholy Union, Lyra, Chelsea, Zelina, Michin and so on? If Roxanne is called up before hand what about her as well?

Tanisha McFadden

Could you see war dogs in aew

Mikey K

Hi Sean, have I missed something or has there been no forbidden door announcements for the UK yet regarding dates and tickets etc? Thanks

Matthew

Any rumors about non WWE/TNA people in rumble?

Keith Kripke

Any word on when Samoa Joe might be back?

Dan Crouse

WWE officials have to know how unpopular holding the Rumble in Saudi would be. Is the money so high it overcomes the hit in image/popularity or do they think it wouldn't be a longlasting hit? Or cynical, is Saudi giving them no choice?

Hailing from Smakamuthafukka, WI

Is the early scheduling of the KO-Cody ladder match an indication that Royal Rumble ticket sales are slow?

Tyler Stevens

With the news coming out next years, Rumble may be heading to Saudi, do you think there's any possibility they do a 2 night rumble next year? One in Saudi and one in a different location, with the men's and women's Rumble main eventing each separate show.

Alex Mahoney

Given the amazing match last night at Wrestle Dynasty between Gabe Kidd and Omega, do you think there will be a rematch at Forbidden Door?

Shawn Tabor

Is there any truth that Hulk Hogan will on RAW tomorrow?

Jasmine Hawkins

Heard of any plans for Sinner and Saint now that Josh Alexander 's run is up?

Brent Hirose

Are the Bucks planning to defend their titles in Japan on a "regular" basis or are we just looking mainly at the NJPW US shows?

Alex B

AEW gives The Vendetta good promo time and they knock it out of the park, but then they usually still end up losing their matches. Is there an end game/something bigger picture going on for them? Thanks.

Paul Anthony Moss

This is a complete curve ball and random but any update on Jamie Hayters contract? I know she probably has a massive amount of injury time but shouldn’t it be up this year or early next?

Mr.Unknown

Hey SRS. When it comes to wrestlers with heat like Dom, New Day, etc. who get booed out of the building when they’re trying to cut their promo, do they expect it? In the sense of they have X amount of minutes and they know the certain parts they need to get out?

Connor Augenstein

What are the plans for Hangman Adam Page heading into this year? (i.e. the purpose behind the CD feud [unless it's a lead in to a potential program with Kenny I'm kinda scratching my head rn as to what the purpose of it is])

I'd Die For Ricky Martin

When do you think they put the world championship belt on Kenny? Maximum Carnage on Jan 15th or do you think they wait until Collision that weekend?

David C

Yo SRS, what happened to scorpio sky? Is he ever coming back to aew?

K B

Of all the songs Tony Khan could spend money on, why I'm So Excited?

Clint Novak

Do you know why WWE hasn’t announced Raw’s length? Have Talent been informed?

wafflereigns

is there any plans for liv to get solo merch?

Philbo

Have you heard if people's reports of NXT Evolve happening and replacing NXT Level Up are true?

E11VN

What is the contact status of Takeshita? It was reported earlier today, I believe by Chris Carlton, that it seems that Takeshita may have signed a 1-year deal with NJPW and would have limited appearances with AEW.

Phillip McConnell

How long did it take for Ricochet to untie himself from the knot ZSJ left him in? 😆

Ricardo Name TBD

Any thoughts on advertising AEW on the Max App itself? Didnt seem like they put any effort into that, hopefully for the PPVs they will. I use the xbox app and wouldnt know if i didnt scroll all the way down to the live section

Steven Yeager

Any word on wardlow?

Terry Agallion

Any word on alexa bliss return?

Tamela

Will Jimmy be working with the US Treasury to have a $6 bill created for you to demand from fans at shows?

Chris Patt

Hey Sean, something ive always wondered, when it comes to Wyatt Sicks how much creative control do they have and is Final Testament being given the same leeway for this fued?

NeganMOX

Have you heard any plans for Kenny Omega besides Okada at All In? After his performance last night, he can and should be presented as the face of the brand again

Dennis Puopolo

Does Tony Khan not see something in Kenny Omega like he sees Danielson or Moxley?

Jorge Saldivar

Rex spex - How much resentment, if any, do think there is toward the Rock and his possible mania involvement among the talent and among creative. He’s obviously a mega draw but until he or HHH makes a decision, it feels like all upper main eventers and storylines are in limbo.

Nick O’Shea

With both Raw & Smackdown now being 3 hours will each have show have its own uniqueness to it I.E. one being storyline driven and other being wrestling match driven.

Sergio Cardenas

What exactly did WBD mean when they directed AEW to "ramp up" (or whatever) the Cincinnati shows? Also, my condolences for your loss

Brad and Britt

Do you know the time frame when Max will add more AEW previous pay-per-views to their streaming service?

Carlos Candedo

What are AEW’s goals for the Australian show? Is this a true company storyline “PPV” or more of an exhibition show to build company interest locally? More Buddy please…

Thomas Manefield

Hey, what are the plans for Smackdown this year? And what are the plans for Bayley?

Luis Garibay

Are there any notable current free agents from Japan or Europe having serious interests in getting signed from WWE and AEW

Mark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰

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?

Jose Martin

SRS, great coverage by you guys with so much going on! Great work! With the move to Netflix, what changes do you think we ll see vs being on USA. More swearing? Advertising/commericals? More brand crossover?

Jeff

Non-wrestling question. How are the Bengals going to regroup themselves to improve in the 2025-2026 season?

Manuel Gutierrez

Any details on Jojo/AEW? Do you think her appearance was a tryout?

Tamba

Netflix only has NXT Takeovers and no episodes until 2020 in the NXT Vault in the UK. Is there a plan for these black and gold episodes to be added at a later date?

Owen Hunter

Hey Sean, not a scoop question but a personal one. What was the match/wrestler that made YOU fall in love with the sport?

Liam Frasier

Has there ever been any conversations to your knowledge about AEW Women's Tag Titles? I feel like it'd be a terrific addition, and helpful to their large female roster.

Knnillssonn

Does Liv lose her title tomorrow or does she keep it a little longer

Shawn Garner

Any pitches or plans that you've heard of for LA Knight for 2025 or his WrestleMania feud?

Idris

Any news on Kevin Owens contact situation? Thanks, Sean.

Andrew W Haro

Does jojo have a good chance of being all elite ?

ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔩𝔢𝔰 𝔏𝔢𝔢 ℜ𝔞𝔶

Bryan Alvarez said that there was some backstage heat on Chris Charlton for how anti-AEW his commentary was, can you confirm that, and how serious it is?

thenumber9door

Do you see AEW adding to its commentary team? With Jr getting older, Tony S also? Veda Scott, walker stewart, Chris charlton are names out there that could come in or are there others?

Matthew Hooks

If you had to give a percentage on Punk vs Austin at Mania , what would it be ?

Mark Sweeney

What is the vibe in the AEW Locker room? With the online hate the company gets and the product being down do people still believe in TK as a booker?

Bryan Peterson

what are the chances of the world heavyweight championship changing hands heading into Mania?

Memernak -

Hey Sean, with The Rock potentially debuting the High Chief gimmick is it safe to say he will be going after Roman instead of Cody now? It seems like the insider info being fed is a way to mislead us and we may not actually get the rock and Cody match

Jacob

Does WWE turning Smackdown into 3 hours have anything to do with Rampage being cancelled?

AroDaro

Why was Wrestle Dynasty not promoted heavily by AEW? Numerous top talent was on the card.

Jeremy Koster

Is Mercedes mine due to have a long with all these title belts she’s acquired ? By the way she’s shown on screen, it looks like she will be having long runs

Cmd

Ibou had stated recently that Seth vs Punk was never the official gamelan for mania this year, can you confirm that news? If so, who was the original opponent planned prior to them going the route of Roman vs punk?

Kemari Snipe

For a co-promotoed show, why did it feel like AEW gave up on wrestle dynasty? That bit with Mercedes on dynamite was all I recall really hearing about it.

Kyle Hart

What are you hearing about the length of RAW being fluid regarding Triple H’s comments?

Maxwell Babner

What is the working plan for Drew McIntyre heading into wrestlemania

Calum Darren Moore

Did the rock change who’s main eventing raw tomorrow night

Jacob Kaye
