When WWE transitions to Netflix, what noticeable changes might we see in its presentation, and how much more creative freedom could wrestlers have to showcase their authentic personalities on camera?
bear hudson
2024-12-02 08:47:29 +0000 UTCyeah she wrestled thunder rosa
Fightful Select
2024-12-02 05:24:02 +0000 UTCHey Sean, do you think WWE will try to sign both Jordynne Grace and Jonathan Gresham to WWE once their TNA Deals are up???
meatknight8
2024-12-02 05:21:59 +0000 UTCAlright Sean I gotta ask. What's the deal with Jade Cargill? Injured? Storyline? There's been about 4 different conflicting reports about it at this point. What's going on?
Viper51210
2024-12-02 04:01:36 +0000 UTCMia Yim has challenged you to a classic survivor series match. On her team is Keith Lee, Shelton Benjamin and Shazaa. Who do you recruit to go against her team?
BL
2024-12-02 03:23:31 +0000 UTCYeah. Starting with Hammerstein they have smaller buildings booked for the next released set of shows outside of PPVs
Troy A Palek
2024-12-02 01:37:35 +0000 UTCPrices always drop closer to the show. If not via WWE then definitely on the secondary market
Troy A Palek
2024-12-02 01:35:58 +0000 UTCWill januarys wrestle dynasty be available on aew normal ppv distributers (namely triller)? Also any word on Canadian media rights? Thanks for all you do
Adrian Preece
2024-12-02 01:17:39 +0000 UTCIs it true that AEW is headed toward smaller arenas in the future?The shows are so quiet lately due to the fact its in a half empty arena and need to look back at their live event plan.
Jay Bougie
2024-12-01 23:40:43 +0000 UTCI know WWE are fairly tight-lipped these days on this sort of thing so rather than waste asking if you know any tentative WrestleMania plans - I’ll ask what matches you would like to see at WM41?
Tam
2024-12-01 23:40:03 +0000 UTCHey Sean, I think it would be cool to have an interactive “question of the day” on the Fightful Select Patreon page. Is this something Fightful would have interest in?
Robbie Wray
2024-12-01 23:13:31 +0000 UTCAny idea when, or if, Rumble tickets will open up the rest of the upper bowl? Or if prices might drop closer to the show? Thanks.
Steven Hawley
2024-12-01 23:06:05 +0000 UTCI think so.. I tweeted it was awesome for us on west coast to watch live at 5pm and Tony liked my tweet so I’d assume it will all be live regardless of time zone…
Robbie Wray
2024-12-01 23:04:16 +0000 UTCDo you have any updates on contracts of stars like malakai black and josh alexander and where they are expected to be next year.
matthew hamm
2024-12-01 21:51:03 +0000 UTCDo you know if the entire WWE library would be going to Netflix in Jan especially for Canada?
Elenicca Villarin
2024-12-01 21:23:45 +0000 UTCSo is penta going to WWE
John DePriest
2024-12-01 20:59:23 +0000 UTCI love the C2 but comparing it to G1 never felt quite right since it's much smaller (12 wrestlers vs 20). G1 is a main event concern (includes world champions) while booking dictates creative excuses to omit people tied up with world title feuds from the C2 bracket. Is this just a matter of trying to fit it into TV for one PPV cycle (8 or so shows)? With such a stacked roster, has there been any consideration for larger brackets? 2PPV cycles?
Mike DiRenzo
2024-12-01 19:58:32 +0000 UTCDo you think one of the goals with the WWE ID program, and the backing away from NXT Europe, is to help keep the independent wrestling scene healthy?
Peter Konieczny
2024-12-01 19:36:14 +0000 UTCUpdate on Kamille? Seeing on socials about her being apparently completely written off TV after the backstage attack and saying she should sign with x promotion.
Michael Ha
2024-12-01 19:33:08 +0000 UTCHas the NXTNA ended?
Mike G
2024-12-01 19:30:23 +0000 UTCHey SRS! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Tony Khan gets a lot of hate for the way he books. I'm a huge fan of AEW and just want them to heat up again. Hypothetically, if TK stepped aside, who are some bookers you'd think would be a good fit? Also, what's your favorite Thanksgiving side?
Scott Alexander
2024-12-01 19:24:02 +0000 UTCHow does TNA handle releases? It seems like they just quietly phase people out like Crazy Steve or Su Yung who was on their roster page for ages until the most recent update.
Brent Hirose
2024-12-01 19:16:47 +0000 UTCAre big spots like Bronson Reeds approved by like HHH before hand?
Ken Dickson
2024-12-01 18:44:47 +0000 UTCWhere do you think Megan Bayne/Dijak/Josh Alexander sign to?
Crazy101_
2024-12-01 18:18:48 +0000 UTCWhat do you think is the favor cm punk will want I think a match against Roman one ofy friends think a match with the Rock
robert davis
2024-12-01 18:07:44 +0000 UTCany idea when kenny omega returns to aew tv and what he does since he said he wants to ease himself back to a full time schedule
S
2024-12-01 18:06:20 +0000 UTCWhat are the chances bodhi Hayward is back in Nxt? For the chase u storyline, sounded like him last Tuesday.
FSK
2024-12-01 18:00:39 +0000 UTCOpinion question: What could you see being the non- Rumble matches at the Rumble this year?
Jake Schwall
2024-12-01 17:59:00 +0000 UTCAny idea why AEW waited until 1030 est last Sunday night to release the CC names? Seemed like a lost opportunity to build on the Full Gear buzz to me.
Troy A Palek
2024-12-01 17:57:16 +0000 UTCWhen can we expect Penta going to WWE?
MASP_HA
2024-12-01 17:56:08 +0000 UTCAre ther any updates on the status of Trent?
FeelingDreepy
2024-12-01 17:52:26 +0000 UTCAre there any plans for AEW to try to capitalize on the main stream attention that Britt Baker has with being in Cobra Kai & media outlets reporting on it?
Chris Rains
2024-12-01 17:26:34 +0000 UTCYou are transported back in time to the Colosseum and must participate in a series of Gladiatorial games. You are able to take 4 current pro wrestlers with you to fight by your side. Who do you choose?
David C
2024-12-01 17:00:53 +0000 UTCAny idea why there was such a long outro after the men’s war games last night? Seemed like they were teasing something but it never materialized…and I don’t think the producers chyron showed on the peacock feed.
Nick O’Shea
2024-12-01 16:59:43 +0000 UTCWas the pre-Thanksgiving Dynamite, aired live coast-to-coast, a reflection of Max about to stream the same way? I have liked Turner’s willingness to experiment with AEW’s broadcasts. Wonder if TBS/TNT will also go live to match Max.
Manton
2024-12-01 16:28:14 +0000 UTCThere have been 3 different stories concerning Jade.... None have come from you... So, what's really going on? Is it politics? Real Injury? Or just Storyline?
Mike RTC
2024-12-01 16:20:07 +0000 UTCIf you were booking the men’s royal rumble, who would be your final four and winner? Dream scenario for me is Cena, Roman, Rock and Punk, with Cena winning.
Chris Podymaitis
2024-12-01 16:15:12 +0000 UTCIs Matt Riddle in tna a 1 off?
Rcs
2024-12-01 16:11:03 +0000 UTCHey! With Netflix saying that they will have “select programming and historic PPV’s” from WWE’s past, is it safe to assume that WWE Vault on Youtube is essentially everything that Netflix might not host?
Kobe
2024-12-01 15:58:26 +0000 UTCDo you think wwe could do a two night ple with one night male one night female with the addition of women’s us and intercontinental titles or and all female ple at some point
darren mcmullen
2024-12-01 15:54:59 +0000 UTCdo you know why beast dropped the title is she done with them
Ralph Johnson
2024-12-01 15:43:01 +0000 UTCIs there any heat between Big Boom AJ and Colt Cabana for essentially stealing Colt’s “Boom” gimmick complete with stylized Boom graphics, or can Colt play it off as being twice as good as AJ (i.e. Boom Boom)?
Ignazio Manganaro
2024-12-01 15:39:14 +0000 UTCWhen will rocks next appearance be?
wafflereigns
2024-12-01 15:37:38 +0000 UTCDo you think there will be any NXT call ups for the first raw on Netflix? If so who would you predict?
Craig Britton
2024-12-01 15:35:27 +0000 UTCWith Penta being a Free Agent now and Fenix not til later-would you have him debut with or without him?
Matt Payne
2024-12-01 15:16:43 +0000 UTCHey SRS. Good morning and quick question, why does PAC always show up in his ring gear, while the rest of the Death Riders are in their street clothes? I always found it funny to see Mox, Claudio, Wheeler and Marina in their "normal" clothes and PAC in his ring gear.
Reveria Lear Gaston
2024-12-01 15:10:32 +0000 UTCName one person you’d like to see get a concerted push in each company. Mine are Buddy Matthews (maybe even all of HOB) and Naomi.
HouseSox
2024-12-01 15:10:07 +0000 UTCWhen do you think we're getting the Hook vs Christian match? Feels like it's been put on hold and we're getting Hook vs Nick Wayne in it's place.
Thomas Rathert
2024-12-01 15:06:54 +0000 UTCHi Sean. Whatever happened to the Fightful Roundtable?
David Evans
2024-12-01 14:49:41 +0000 UTCAre one of the Gunns injured because I haven't seen them accompany Jay White and Juice for awhile now? Thanks.
Paul Anthony Moss
2024-12-01 14:42:15 +0000 UTCWe hear about Netflix pushing for certain stars to be on Raw. Is there a comparable list that USA specially wants for SmackDown?
Jack Edathil
2024-12-01 14:38:19 +0000 UTCYou may have covered this before so my apologies. What have you heard about plans for this year's C2 in regards to who might be winning, are they going to use it to push one or more people and if so who, and who do you want to see win it?
Phillip McConnell
2024-12-01 14:31:44 +0000 UTCI hope not, but that didn't go well. I hope this a reboot and but the end of her time there.
Phillip McConnell
2024-12-01 14:29:34 +0000 UTCI'm not SRS, obviously, but they already have a Dynamite scheduled for January 8th in Clarksville, TN but that would be cool.
Phillip McConnell
2024-12-01 14:26:22 +0000 UTCIs there a chance aew tapes a dynamite show in Japan after wrestle dynasty
Rj
2024-12-01 14:23:10 +0000 UTCAre producers like coaches? Are they hard on talent when they need to? For example, the producers weren’t happy with the start of the Women’s Wargames match. Do they lay in to the talent?
Connor Augenstein
2024-12-01 14:20:55 +0000 UTCIs Stokely on the outs with AEW? He' hasn't been on tv since that Private Party angle and has even stopped tweeting.
Modrevolve
2024-12-01 14:20:51 +0000 UTCDo you see major things (ie; storylines, title changes) happening at SNME or is there one you want to see? Personally, I want KO to beat Cody for the title
Johan Acosta
2024-12-01 14:17:10 +0000 UTCWhats the point in Rhea pinning Liv AGAIN? Liv is now 1-3 against Rhea as champion. Why not have her earn her way back to the title? Lazy booking pinning the champion to justify ANOTHER title match. Made Iyo feel insignificant as #1 contender
luk3ycharm
2024-12-01 14:14:24 +0000 UTCWhy was Jade Cargill written off TV, is there something going on here? There seems to be multiple stories going around.
B
2024-12-01 14:09:28 +0000 UTCAre there any special plans for the January 1 AEW show from Asheville? I’ll be there and they’re advertising “The Mother of all Simulcasts”
Dylan Dutch
2024-12-01 14:05:55 +0000 UTCHey Sean! Did we ever get a definitive answer as to what happened with the AEW Triple Crown? They announced the titles as a unified title, and then shortly after started splitting them off piece meal.
Sam Accardi
2024-12-01 13:55:04 +0000 UTChey Sean, imo it feels like WWE has cooled down a bit but Jey Uso is very clearly still a red hot act. do you think there's any chance they adjust whatever the plan is so they can put a world title on him next year?
Christopher Alt
2024-12-01 13:54:18 +0000 UTCHiya Sean, wondered if you'd heard anything about seeing Vikingo back at AEW since his injury?
Michael Sargent
2024-12-01 13:34:36 +0000 UTCThe WWE women's champions are taking L's more than W. As heel champs, shouldn't they have a better W/L record or do you think they are booked correctly?
Mark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰
2024-12-01 13:27:36 +0000 UTCHey SRS. Any word on Hologram? Deffo been missing him as of late.
Melancholy Brumley
2024-12-01 13:18:58 +0000 UTCHi Sean. I didn’t watch survivor series all the way through however I couldn’t help but notice the ring announcer seemed to be doing her best Samantha Irvin impression. Who was it please?
Matthew
2024-12-01 13:15:16 +0000 UTCDo you prefer conducting interviews with wrestlers in or out of their respective character?
Jawys
2024-12-01 13:12:05 +0000 UTCUpdate on Stokely Hathaway? He was recruiting Private Party for a few weeks and it went nowhere.
bdo630
2024-12-01 13:07:30 +0000 UTCI saw that Allie was there. Does she plan on coming back to wrestling?
K B
2024-12-01 13:07:29 +0000 UTCCould you see the Rock wrestle Royal Rumble and WM? Or could a potential Roman match be pushed to 2026?
Trevor D.
2024-12-01 12:59:32 +0000 UTCDo you see extended NXT runs for any of the three recent major women’s signings (Steph, Zaria, and Giulia)? With Jordynne also coming soon, NXT’s women’s division feels very top heavy.
Dev W.
2024-12-01 12:54:47 +0000 UTCHey Sean, hope you’re well. Heard any interesting names to join the Moné Cooperation?
Ry
2024-12-01 12:52:44 +0000 UTCHope you had a good time at Wrestlecade Sean! Just curious do you know why current WWE wrestlers aren't at Wrestlecade? Figured with the new regime it would be something they would allow. Or does WWE just prefer their own events like Fanatics Fest?
Jordan Miller
2024-12-01 12:46:32 +0000 UTCSean do you wish that Liv wasn't booked as cowardly champion? Idk if it bothers you, but it bothers me and her fanbase.
Manuel Gutierrez
2024-12-01 12:37:18 +0000 UTCWith All In moving from Late August to July, any idea of AEW will move All Out back to its usual Labor Day weekend slot?
Challenge Mania
2024-12-01 12:37:09 +0000 UTCHeard anything about Kamille? Bryan Alvarez said he'd be surprised if we saw her on tv again and they showed her being laid out backstage on Rampage. Is she being let go?
Alyssa Hudgins
2024-12-01 12:36:16 +0000 UTCWhen is Adam Copeland rumored to return? And as always thanks for what you do SRS!
Christopher Hendrix
2024-12-01 12:32:52 +0000 UTCYes it is

Liz
2024-12-01 12:19:08 +0000 UTCAny update on a Samoa Joe return?
Peezy Gonsalez
2024-12-01 12:17:24 +0000 UTCConsidering how rhea's booking has been these last 3-4months, is liv dropping her title to rhea the end goal of this feud?
Philbo
2024-12-01 12:16:00 +0000 UTCHi Sean. What about Bronson Reed?
Cristina Cerutti
2024-12-01 12:15:32 +0000 UTCHologram has been off TV for while (ironically just as AEW finally bought out purchasable masks of him). Is he injured or just having time off?
ShotgunnSean

Vertex Gaming
2024-12-01 12:12:18 +0000 UTCdo you know if shinsuke was always planned to win?
Scott L
2024-12-01 12:09:33 +0000 UTCUpdate on Damian Priest? Does he have legitimate shoulder injury and did they have to cover it with the parking lot angle they posted online?
William Rabb Jr.
2024-12-01 12:09:19 +0000 UTCAny rumored NXT talent getting main roster call ups been discussed as Smackdown seems very light on Male heel side.
Sergio Cardenas
2024-12-01 12:08:05 +0000 UTCThere was a comment circulating a few weeks ago that AEW would present as more sports focused in January. Any word on what that may be? We saw a flash of that at the beginning of 2024, any thoughts on the motivation to try again?
Terry Agallion
2024-12-01 12:07:17 +0000 UTCTriple H said Bronson was “questionable for a few weeks” was that meant to be a serious timeline or could it be more extreme based on what you’ve heard?
Mo Abdelmajid
2024-12-01 12:06:50 +0000 UTCHey SRS, one question does WWE have accessible numbers to how much Cody’s merch contributes to the overall intake of revenue similar to the Rock in 2000? if so where can i find it and if not why do you no longer share that information?
Jacob
2024-12-01 12:05:46 +0000 UTCWhy did the stream go black when punk went to the opposing cage?
Z3a9c91
2024-12-01 12:05:31 +0000 UTCWhat are Punks plans going forward?
Sam James
