Any update on NXT Europe?

Things have been completely silent on NXT Europe the last couple of years. The word was that we would get an update around Fall 2023. Then when we'd ask, Shawn Michaels mentioned that the merger put a lot of things on hold. As of early this year, there was no date planned for anything regarding a launch, announcement or anything for NXT Europe.

Does RVD still have a working relationship with AEW? Or has the Legends deal with WWE put a pause on that?

Rob Van Dam has been under a WWE Legends deal for years. He was just also able to work AEW dates. He said recently that he just accepted the "congratulations" of people finding out about the Legends deal because it was nice to hear. His appearances were one-shot deals with AEW.

Hi SRS, any word on whether Bryan Danielson has had his neck surgery yet? He’s been radio silent on social media since WrestleDream (though it’s not like he’s usually super active on there anyway). Hopefully, he only needed a diskectomy, as opposed to fusion surgery.

The latest word from that situation is that Bryan Danielson was hoping to avoid surgery and would try out some stem cell treatments. His neck has been messed up for quite some time, but towards the end of his AEW run he wasn't hiding how banged up he was. The hope is that he can avoid surgery and just rehab the injury
