SRS Q&A questions

Hey guys. SRS here. Get those questions in

Comments

Sean, how the hell do the WWE Legends deals even work? Apparently DDP and Lex Luger couldn't even be shown during Sting's retirement match, but somehow RVD can wrestle multiple matches for AEW? Found it weird especially since DDP did multiple appearances in AEW before he had his deal. As Helms would say, "What's up with that?"

Javier

Does QT still own part of Nightmare Factory? How would AEW feel about him training WWE prospects?

lukebones

a hypothetical; but if Jim Ross announced his retirement and AEW held a 'JR appreciation night' for him, what would the chances of Austin appearing if JR asks of him on a scale of 1/10?

Levi Watson

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

Sam Accardi

Any updates or ideas on future AEW ppv locations?

Jason McGill

Any word on if RAW will be getting a new set when it moves to Netflix?

Tim Taylor

In your mind, who feuds and takes the US title off LA Knight?

Scott

Was Vikingo expected to win the X Division title at Bound for Glory? During the show the ad for the next episode of Impact listed him as "New X Division Champion"

Pigeon

Do producers have WWE wrestlers memorize every move in their match, or are some things called in the ring?

Mike G

Your prediction for a surprise return/debut on the first RAW on Netflix?

Trevor D.

Hey SRS, is it me or is every single bloodline match have a ref bump. It is getting rather stale. My question about is is this: do the WWE know that the fans get kinda sick of all the ref bumps lately?

Tim Wininger

Hi, SRS! Your Bengals won! Fingers crossed we get a 2nd women's main card match at Full Gear. Maybe Mariah vs. Mina?

Paul Komoroski

Any update on NXT Europe?

Tanisha McFadden

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.

Jorge Cruz

Any news on Sami Zaynes contract or Kevin Owen’s

Wes ELITE KREW

Has Tony Kahn offered becky lynch a contract ?

jason marino

???

Fightful Select

Any update on rock status for mania and what he will be doing there if he available.

matthew hamm

Has WWE changed the way they communicate releases to the media to seem more gentle? Lots of posts about Legentil Activity yesterday

Devin Axtman

Will you be able to start RAW on Netflix at any time after it starts at start from the beginning?

Challenge Mania

Is there any updates on Dakota Kai recovery from her injury?

Jasmine Hawkins

SRS, Hope you are doing well and thanks for all your hard work! What light can you shed on what NXT contracts are typically like both for the NIL prospects they recruit and develop and for the wrestlers they bring over from other promotions? Interested in knowing anything about typical length and value.

Alex

hey Sean, it's kinda easy to draw a line from here to the major mens' matches at Mania but I really have no clue what they're doing with the women. have you heard anything or willing to make any bold predictions that surely nobody will try to aggregate as a report?

Christopher Alt

Did Mox and the BCC stop taking about someone else being behind they're actions because whoever they had in mind didn't happen or are they just in a holding pattern for another reason?

Geoffrey Gwyn

CM Punk mentioned he would be against doing Saudi shows on Pardon My Take a while back. Is that why he’s off this one?

Eric Rufo

Do you happen to know around when Samoa Joe might be back on tv?

Rachael

Any information on WWE ID in regards to limitations that are imposed on those signed to it? Are they allowed to appear anywhere or do extra work for AEW/ROH or TNA?

Elvis Cage

Hey SRS! Any chances they bring back pyro for Dynamite or Collision and not just on PPVs?

Alyssa Lesa

Have you heard any about AEW/ROH running the Hammerstein Ballroom in the future?

Modrevolve

Any update on Dakota Kai's status/creative plans when cleared? Some speculation on the socials I won't repeat cause likely BS (people forget 8-10 weeks doesn't always mean exactly with injuries) however, it does feel like creative have moved on with Damage CTRL as just a tag team. Vic Joseph brought up Asuka's accomplishments when Iyo/Kairi were on NXT but never said Dakota by name.

dead inside failure

For the first RAW on Netflix, should HHH book a Mania-esque main event like The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes?

Ignazio Manganaro

Is mark davis medically cleared?

Brittany Catterton

Who wins Women's Rumble. A returning Becky, Charlotte, Rhea or someone else?

ShotgunnSean

Was Rhea already injured since she wasn't on RAW and didn't had any physical interactions besides laying by the car covered in blood?

Mark 🇩🇰 🇩🇰

With the Young Bucks taking a break, does that mean Okada and Jack Perry will be going solo and no longer part of the Elite?

bdo630

Not a WWE question, but what is going on with the bengals, why are they so bad this year?

Mark D

How do you feel about WWE presenting Kevin Owens as a "disgruntled employee" in some of his promos considering his contract status? I feel like they're intentionally leaning into your report of KO not signing a new contract as of yet, but could that also backfire if he doesn't re-sign? If he does end up leaving could that not heighten his interest if he debuts with a new promotion?

Tanner Hill

Any update regarding potential backlash location or PLE schedule past wrestlemania?

Wyatt

Is there any new updates on Rhea Ripley injury? Like how long she’s gonna be gone for if this is going to need surgery or stuff like that.

haylee arpa

Is Mercedes Martinez still with AEW/ROH?

David C

We forgot the most important SRS question on Halloween week last week - favorite piece of candy and/or chocolate bar? :-)

BBQdad105

Your thoughts on coach’s comment on Becky contract negotiations ?

jason marino

Could you see Baron Corbin doing something in AEW? I’m down for whatever he chooses to do but his past interactions with MJF online have been gold and I think they could be an entertaining tag team

M

Dave Meltzer on Twitter said the reason Wardlow has been off of TV is due to an injury. Is this accurate?

thereelnerd

Is Beef/BEEF on an appearance or a tier deal for AEW/ROH? He's been around a lot. Thanks.

Bevan Shortridge

I noticed Flatbacks, run by Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears, was not on the initial list for WWE ID affiliated wrestling schools. Any internal word on schools on a shortlist for a potential WWE expansion or confirmation on the reasoning behind the initial list of schools?

Jack Edathil

Is there any reason why Sheamus got Too Many Limes back,only to have it changed again so quickly?

Adam Starodub

Hey Sean was the 6/7 match format for Crown Jewel a product of Saudi paying more/them requesting it or is Triple H finally going to start going over the 5 match limit?

Jose Martin

Any updates on AJ Styles? Or have I just missed them?

Millie C.

What's happening with the NXT back catalogue? Is a new home being looked at for it (Netflix in January?) or are those episodes just gone for the next five years in the US?

Robert I.

Since eras of WWE seem to be named after they're over, what would you call the pre-Triple H era?

Viper51210

Any insight on contracts for WOW? I’m surprised that many of the talent who appear on WOW primarily work only for WOW.

Dan Chomiak

What was your worst travel story/experience?

Ali Khan

Is there an American market you think is overdue for a big time PPV for either company that would deliver a white hot crowd?

Hailing from Smakamuthafukka, WI

You think WWE might try to go for Ricky Starks once his AEW deal is up???

meatknight8

Hi Sean. Who is your favorite wrestler that nobody cares about but you? For example: other than his family there is no bigger Jake Hager fan than me. Thank you.

Dylan J Burakiewicz

Any insight into why the company gave up on Indi? Feels strange that a relatively recent NXT women's champion gets called up and never get proper creative. Roster crunch maybe, but at 28 and capable she shouldn't have been at the top of the cut list.

Blopi

Any update on Eddie Kingston?

Phil Strickland

Do you think The Bloodline story should end how it started with Jey and Roman? I feel like the best conclusion is Jey finally beating Roman and Roman passing him the torch. In my opinion, Jey is so over and if you add back the aggression of his character, he can become a main event star.

Jaston Smith

Have you heard if the “Legends Deal” sting signed with AEW is a one off or if there are other Legends AEW has their eyes on to sign? (follow up what Legends are not signed to wwe?)

Crazy101_

Hi Sean! Update on contracts for new day?

Laura Castiglioni

Do you know or could possibly Find out when Mayu Iwatani's contract is up with stardom? Any info on who can be some of the of the names signed with WWE ID?

Matt Sullo

Hi SRS Do you happen to know if SmackDown and Raw, which WWE announced during the event in Saudi , will be broadcast live on European television networks and then later in the USA, or if these were just Taped shows?

Ziv

In your opinion has this year been the year of Liv Morgan?

Manuel Gutierrez

Do you have any word/insight on who will be involved in the Continental Classic for AEW?

Matthew Hooks

Should we expect more releases soon or no?

Kenzie Ogunduyile-Dyer

Ok?

wafflereigns

Hey friiiiiiend! Curious, when do you think AEW will start a Hall of Fame?!

Michelle Tate

Is Smackdown losing their top stars to RAW on Netflix? And Did Mina sign with AEW?

Luis Garibay

Do AEW still see Darby as the person to defeat Moxley or has there been movement towards Orange Cassidy being that person? IMO having The Elite/Bucks come back to vanquish them, would be a really bad call.

Caleb Palmer

They're main eventing Survivor Series

Ricky

How involved was HHH in the latest departures? I can maybe understand Nox bc she hasn't been used in a while (even tho he seemed to have a soft spot for her in NXT after overcoming injuries) but Indi & Corbin are more confusing imo. Indi had a (pre-taped) match the same day she got let go & Corbin has basically done everything asked of him

Johan Acosta

Already knowing the spoiler for Raw.. do you think Dominik will get his own solo feud soon? I don’t know what they’re waiting for at this point. Just using him as heat for other peoples feuds.

luk3ycharm

Are there any creative plans for Marina Shafir to wrestle or have a feud (with a woman) inside of this angle with Mox?

ridingdown

Do you think AEW will have a bumper show for their debut on MAX?

Christian P

Was putting the ROH title on Jericho designed to help garner a TV deal for Ring Of Honor? If not than…wtf lol. Thanks Sean.

Andrew Zwicker

Do you have any update on when Hook’s contract is set to expire?

Tanner Lee

Have you heard about any other reasons that Lee Fitting was let go from ESPN, beyond the awards scam. Andrew Marchand said that there were rumors that he didn’t want to repeat, so it felt like there was more to the story.

Jason Scheller

Any updates on the health of Julia Hart and/or Skye Blue?

Tom LeValley

Is Lilian the long term answer on Raw or do you see some shuffling once Raw goes to Netflix?

Ty Dunker

Any update on Hologram and when we could see him back?

Thomas Rathert

With Netflix requesting names for Raw. Will there be a draft or is Smackdown just going to get picked over. Is the brand split is 100% dead

Jordan Miller

Hey SRS - Where do you think this Moxley storyline going?

RJ

Favorite wrestling trope?

Jonatan Gomez

Should thea hail chase u and if not should thea get some more matches

James Macdonald

Is Jordynne Grace WWE bound when her contract expires

Shawn Garner

Indi and Tegan to aew to help kick start their new womens tag team division?

Charles Lee Ray

Hey SRS. I'd like to know where RP fits into this Mox story? There have been reports (likely false) that AEW will involve her in this story at some point if Mox mistreat her verbally. Thanks

Vicki Langteau

What is the reason behind Ricky Starks AEW absence if it’s not injury No creative for him? Think he’s gonna jump to WWE next year, anything like that?

Stephen Bradley

How long is Mina expected to be in AEW this time around?

Scott Harris

Were the battle Royal and fatal 4 way matches on raw for survivor series?

Mo Abdelmajid

Why didn’t the bloodline match main event?

wafflereigns

Who's your most improved wrestlers for each company this year?

Matt Payne

Do you know if there will be a draft ahead of raw going to Netflix

Steven

Was the Young Bucks hiatus planned? It felt a little abrupt, like maybe something changed over the last few weeks.
