Hi Sean! Any updates on Gigi Dolin? I would love to see her back with Jacy Jayne and reunite Toxic Attraction. I could see them getting some tag team shine similar to Lash and Jakara. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Gigi Dolin suffered a knee injury and has been out of action since mid-March. I'm not sure of the specific knee injury. If it's a torn ACL, which have been unfortunately common of late in wrestling, she'd be looking at 10-14 months out. She was getting a lot of looks on WWE Main Event in the months prior to her injury.

What happened to the post show scrum at WrestleDream? Tony didn't show up, it was like 15 minutes long and seemed like nobody knew what was going on.

It had been decided by earlier that week that Tony Khan wouldn't be doing the scrum, but I'm not sure why outside of being told that the original plan had changed. It was definitely a growing pains situation trying something new. I know a few internally had wanted to limit the length of the post-show scrums for some time.

With the announcement of his retirement, is it possible Tanahashi actually has a match with John Cena? Would WWE work with NJPW?

It's pro wrestling, so anything is possible. However, it's very unlikely. WWE and NJPW have no active plans to work with each other as of now. They've had contact in recent years, but the conversations didn't go anywhere.
