Comments

With NXT going to CW and the commentators shifting on Raw and SD, do you see the same happening to the third brand? I feel like Big E could do really well as a commentator

Andy S

Is Britt Baker injured or just nothing creatively for her now? Don’t think they’ve even acknowledged her match at All In with Mercedes since on TV.

Kieran Buxton

Do you know if ricky starks is still under contract with aew

Nathan Salas

Any update on rebel aka reba? Is she still under contract with aew ?

Charles Lee Ray

Lucha Bros??

John DePriest

Does AEW employ someone to drive Jack Perry’s bus between shows or is it loaded onto their trucks?

Adrian Preece

Who’d be your favorite “we’re not using him on the Main Roster so send him down to compete for the NXT title” for the men? I’d love for them to keep the belt on Ethan and send Sheamus there for a run

Trevor D.

What were the pay-per-view numbers for forbidden door

Mike

NXT has one more PLE this year. What happened to Deadline?

Eugene Evans

Who do you think Cody drops the WWE title to and when? My prediction is Jacob Fatu at Summerslam 2025.

Thomas Rathert

Was AEW considering any other cities to host Grand Slam in Australia? Brisbane doesn't feel like a natural choice given the greater population and stadiums available in Melbourne.

S

This was gonna be Obligatory “any Danhausen updates?” question until I saw he got pulled from FTW last minute by the promoter. Why did they pull him since it sounds like it was the company themselves and not someone like AEW pulling him for their shows

M

Any news on Cole’s progress?

Misty Hollenbeck

I'm a huge AR Fox fan I'd also love to know why he's not being used mors. AT least make him a staple in RoH.

Jeff Perullo 1LTPHOTO 2LTCOLPhoto

She has a leg injury and is out the rest of the year it was reported.

Phil Montague

Whats the latest on saraya is she staying on with AEW or is she leaving soon?

Ryan Martins

He had a match this past week on RoH and we’ve seen him a little bit here and there but he’s basically been non-existent on AEW tv for a while until recently, ever since All In last year. He was being heavily used before that.

Sam Accardi

Worst movie you have ever seen?

Tori Melching

TNA seems to do a good job of highlighting when their talent goes to NXT, however that doesn’t seem to be the case when NXT talent go to TNA. Do you think that’s just part of their agreement?

Scott

AR Fox had a match not long ago.

Jeff Perullo 1LTPHOTO 2LTCOLPhoto

Any news on Jay White?

Won

Could you do some comprehensive breakdown of WWEs media deals. Basically outline length of contracts for all the WWE library and brands plus where and when episodes show up after they air for each brand. I heard something about Hulu not having episodes next day anymore for smackdown so I’m assuming that would just got to Peacock and I’m particularly interested in how Netflix will handle episodes after they air

Parker Shanks

Have you heard any info on WWE not continuing with Def Rebel at the end of their contract?

Craig Britton

Any update on Jay White?

Zoë

Are the Lucia Bros going to debut on the first CW NXT show?

Ken Dickson

If you had to guess right now what do you think the matches for the nxt title and nxt women’s title are at stand and deliver ?

Cody

Any idea where WWE is looking to tape the first raw on Netflix?

Jon

is there a reason given why AEW wont split the roster? They have so much talent that with 4 shows most people could get some time instead of someone on multiple shows every week.

Matthew Hooks

Do you think the chances of us seeing Daniel Garcia in wwe are increasing?

Ziv

How far out in advance does WWE and TNA book storylines, just wondering if any differences make it challenging to share wrestlers.

Mike G

Who do you think could bench press the most in wwe and aew

Matthew

What are your thoughts of the stand in the middle of the ring and trade punches spots. I liked it when it was rare, two tough guys just standing and trading in the middle of the ring. Now it’s in multiple matches on many AEW shows. Now I hate it.

Keisaku Yogi

Any Updates on When Stephanie Vaquer may debut

Shawn Garner

Hey sean will sami vs gunther be at bad blood or not since they already made 5 matches for the show.

matthew hamm

Do you think the AEW media rights deal not being announced yet is affecting their ability to sign/recruit talent?

Talia

So is the 2hrs for the rest of 2024 temporarily and goes back to 3hrs when the Netflix deal starts?

Manuel Gutierrez

Any mark davis updates?

Brittany Catterton

Any idea if the Backlash to the cody/Roman pairing (in storyline) will be addressed the next few weeks?

Alicia Williamson

hey Sean, between Cody and Roman who do you think is more likely to get the Rock match at Mania, and what do you think the guy on the outside of the Rock match does there?

Christopher Alt

Do you believe we will see Keith Lee back on AEW television this year?

David C

You get an 8hr car ride from one venue to another. Pick three wrestlers you’d want in the car with you.

HouseSox

Any Odyssey Jones update? 👀

thaddperkins

Is there any chance we could ever see the Fightful Wrestling Podcast feed integrated with the Select podcast feed with the ads removed? I listen on Spotify and have to figure between two feeds and also listen to ads on the free feed.

Richard Ashbaugh

Any idea why Rush appears and disappears from the Don callis family act?

Anthony Ramos

What's the update on the Fox/Shockwave deal

Adrian Carpenter

any idea what was up with AEW saying jericho won the match with mistco in that video package before they corrected themselves? were they trying to work or was it just a mistake. the CMLL x AEW integation match seemed to get a mixed review on friday.

HanlonsRazor

Hey SRS, know this is speculative, but you mentioned the belief is Malakai's deal is up toward the end of the year. Do you think it's more likely he stays with AEW, or returns to WWE?

Jake, who knows Trans Rights are Human Rights

There seems to be multiple previously high profile wrestlers that AEW/WWE have not been using for an extended period of time who are not injured. Wouldn't it be better if the companies let them out of their contract (if that's what they want)? So they can try getting signed elsewhere or do some more indies.

B

After Bad Blood do you think we will get new rivalries. I’m bored with the same 5 matches every week

Ken Cruz

What's going with JBL showing in multiple companies?

Roberto

Any word when tay Melo is returning. To the ring. I saw her training a long time ago

Charles Lee Ray

This Bucks/Ospreay-Fletcher match is leading to a Ospreay-Don Callis Family feud right? No way they win the tag titles.

bdo630

Do you have any info on Kiana James being pulled from the active roster?

Viper51210

When UFC and others speak about the cost of running the sphere, what exactly is that due to? Is it the technology involved in the screen? Staff needed? Preparation to put together the production? For something like WWE and Mania could any of these ever be offset by Las Vegas or a sponsor to cover some of the cost?

Challenge Mania

Has there been anything from WWE regarding the multiple lawsuit's Logan Paul is in?

Chris Prytulak

Has Bo Dallas always played Uncle Howdy, even going back to the very beginning with the vignettes? Or did he step in at some point?

Kobe

Hey Sean! You mentioned on a recent livestream that someone gifted multiple YouTube memberships. What are those and how does Fightful benefit from them? Thanks!

BBQdad105

Has their been any info as to why Wardlow hasn’t been on TV in months? How long does he have on his contract

Stephen Bradley

Could you see Liv defending against another challenger in Saudi for Crown Jewel, considering that’s where she won the championship? I think that show would be a good poster for her.

luk3ycharm

any reason to expect charlotte flair before rumble?

James D Deuchars Jr

Hey SRS! Have you heard about any plans for the Kip Sabian and Nick Wayne feud?

Ritchie R

Any idea who is joining TDMK?

Jerrod Hazelwood

Any backstage response on how Cody handled the Janelle Grant question? I thought he proved what an excellent spokesman for the company he is.

Ty Dunker

Any word on Hikuleo’s debut?

Phil Montague

What’s the odds on a possible Bandido return this year?

Jordan Parsons

Any specific reason they did that segment with Jericho on collision last night implying he won in mexico?

Jayson Major

Is there currently a story that could be broken by Fightful or any other wrestling news outlet that would have the same impact, say, of the CM Punk return to AEW/WWE had, with the caveat of said story not being related to Vince's continuous downfall?

Harry Yazawa

Please ask TK to stop having wrestlers fight for championships when they already have one. They need to utilize more of their roster.

Michael Weber

Hi Sean, hoping you can please clarify Bryan Danielson’s status, since AEW commentators seem to be using “retirement” and “retirement from being a full-time competitor” interchangeably. Do you know which case it will be? With AEW hotshotting his match against Nigel McGuiness, it looks like Danielson will drop the title to Mox at WrestleDream next month and be done. Is he really going to go out having only 1 successful title defense and not getting revenge on the BCC for turning on him?

Jorge Cruz

Have you heard anymore news on Michael Oku and Amira signing with AEW and if they'll be still able to wrestle the UK independent shows / Rev Pro?

The Amazing Cliff

Hi. Impact is now on NESN (rsn) in New England. That might provide more eyes than Impacts own network does. Any idea how this came about? Thank you.

Dylan J Burakiewicz

How was the reaction backstage after the mistico and Jericho finish

Onesweetchris

Is the fallout regarding visas from All In 2023 the reason AR Fox has been away from AEW for so long?

Sam Accardi

Any update on Aussie Open's Mark Davis? Feels like he should have returned by now, but they've also been pushing Kyle Fletcher as a singles guy, and then had Will Ospreay team with Fletcher, so it muddies the water.

Moocow1980

Seems like Adam blampied is trying to clear his name via a video on YouTube and it seemed genuine. If his name is cleared would you be willing to do some work with him again in the future. Keep up the good work

Evan Reich

I was also going to ask if Hook's recent resurgence was an indicator that he'd re-signed with the promotion.

Wyatt

From a fantasy booking point of view, what do you think about Bryan wrestling three times at Wrestledream to surpass his Mania appearance of wrestling twice? It feels like they’re setting up “The Bryan Gauntlet” for his title handoff.

Dylan Thomas

Which wwe signing excites you the most and who has the most potential to thrive in the wwe environment to you?

Michael Agri

Joe Hendry at the Royal Rumble. Could it happen?

Brad and Britt

With Stokely watching tag team matches could you see him be the manager for the “Hurt Syndicate” if they come in or would it be MVP?/ What team could you see Stokely managing?

Crazy101_

With AEW’s relationship with Warner Bros and Max getting stronger, will the new deal affect anything for international fans? In the UK, we won’t get Max until 2026 at the earliest so will anything change or will the international AEW deals stay the same? Do you think those deals could change once Max hits the UK?

LiamVersionOne

Can Tony khan buy out a contract from Stardom to get Mina and Xena

Wes ELITE KREW

any update on the daniel garcia situation

Jahse

they already confirmed it in a free post on friday

Jahse

I am going to use this time to ask your perspective on past events. How did you feel watching the Bret vs Austin match at WM13? I am assuming you might be in your early teens when that match happened so how did the double turn affect you emotionally. I was so confused as I began to root for Stone cold and root against my hero Bret Hart.

Ali Khan

Anything on Naomi, Tamina or Nia joining the bloodline?

Nick O’Shea

is wardlow hurt?

Scott L

Is the Rock expected to be at Survivor Series or is nothing set in stone?

Patrick Farrugia

What do you think about WarGames replacing the traditional SS elimination tag? I feel like WarGames is good every once in a while but the Elimination tag is more existing because a pin can happen anytime

Anutosh

SRS - I get Dynamite is the A show and Collision is the B show, but WWE has two A shows in my opinion. With so much talent why can’t AEW treat Collision like a second A show?

RJ

Hi SRS, hope you're good. Are GYV actually signed? If so, have AEW stopped doing the graphics now, and if so will RJ City ever be able to emotionally recover?

Phil Roberts

When WWE comes to Netflix do they show it everywhere or in specific country’s?

Daniel Lassnäs

Some people have confirmed MCMG have signed with WWE. Can you confirm? Or is this an aggregation of other reports?

Kay Friskie

Is it safe to say aew fight forever is finished content wise? It’s a really fun game, I wish it got some more love.

SlickJonny

Any update on Megan Bayne signing with a major promotion

Jordan Miller

Do you know approximately when Alexa bliss would return.

Cmd

Since the theme music for Smackdown is rap, can we expect a major rock band providing Raw’s theme in January?

Tronny

Any update on Daniel Garcia past the one that was posted? It seems from the outside that the tide may or may not have changed on whether he stays or not

Thomas Santone

Any update on when penta and Fenix can sign

Michael Moriarity

Do you see an NXT wrestler winning a TNA championship or vice versa? If so who do you think it would be?

Brad Woodard

Will there be another draft for Netflix launch?

Steve M

Is Bad Blood a 5 match card? Nia/Naomi or Bayley, Sami vs Gunther and Bron vs Jey are all being built but there’s one spot left

Mo Abdelmajid

Hey SRS, have you heard anything about when the AEW media deals could be announced? Seems like the 5th anniversary of Dynamite would be a good time for that

Ricky Schmidt

What’s going on with Jimmy uso? Has he even been backstage?

ccobian_131

Hi, SRS. It seems like this chapter w/Page is over, and they are setting up Moxley for the title shot against Danielson. So, thoughts on Swerve's opponent in Tacoma?

Paul Komoroski

Any wheels in motion for AEW Fight Forever updates or a sequel?

BusyBrody

Any insight on what AEW's taping schedule would be if Shockwave ends up being a TV show? And how it may affect ROH.

MarkyMark_MARK

Is Tyrese Halliburton gonna get in the ring? I doubt the pacers would allow that but he makes it seem that way

Christopher Cummins

What is Joe Hendry's control status with TNA

Hailing from Smakamuthafukka, WI

Zahari Legwin

Any update on Penelope Ford ?

Mike G

Was the new bloodline the plan before the main event was changed for WrestleMania?

Carlos Estrada

Garcia has been removed from all the ads for future AEW shows and replaced with HOOK who is now in any new ads. Do you think this is any indicator of each guys contract renewal?

CookieDoh58

any idea when/where the Lucha Bros debut?

Will

What’s Roman’s schedule going to be like? He’s been gone for a huge portion of the year, u think he has a lot of dates scheduled or is still going to be part time?

wafflereigns

With UFC running the sphere do you think we see WWE announce a Sphere show in the future?
