Sébastien Marleau

Hey Sean I hope your feeling better friend and just know that I’m here for you I know what your going through is hard believe I lost my grandpa when I was 14 years old I cry the entire day it was bad I didn’t sleep when I was 14 but is hard I know and just know you got this keep pushing you will get through this buddy ❤️ and my question I wanted to ask is why hasn’t WWE bring back pyro for the opening and when does punk contract end I know you said is a multi year how long is it for

Jonathan Corona

Any updates on a Hayter or Britt Baker return?

Ryan

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fightful Select

Hi Sean! Hope you’re doing well. Any interest from either side of Ethan Page heading to WWE? I think he would be great - he can promo, wrestle and has a great presence. I would like to see him get a shot.

Amber

Any update on Becky's contract situation?

Nick DiCarlantonio

do you believe AEW has a shot to land any big name WWE Free Agents In the Future or is the Triple H regime going to effectively stay on top of re-signing so the Wrestlers won't even make it to Free Agency?

Matty Nice

When was Jimmy Uso injured?

Christian

Do you think the male kotr is a forgone conclusion of Gunther winning? My condolences to you and your family

Chris Thacker

Could you see Braun Strowman or Matt Hardy being part of The Wyatt given the close connection both had to Bray. Braun from the Wyatt Family days & Matt from when they were The Deleters of Worlds

Matt Hennessy

Is there any update on Keith Lee and if he's even under AEW contract nowadays?

Alex Bradford

Who is considered the number one free agent on the US Indies these days?

Challenge Mania

Why has wwe began to change the themes of wrestlers when they go from nxt to raw and smackdown? I thought this would change given that most if not all of nxt themes are done by def rebel

Omar Alvarado

Fightful question for you. Could we get Corey and/or the SGS crew to do more Q&A’s? Maybe alternate on the off weeks of Ask Grapsody?

Tim Wininger

Do you see the NXT Women’s North American Championship as sort of a trail run for the main roster getting a women’s midcard title?

Ry

We’re all patrons here, you can just say “I think it’s a work” without phrasing it like a dick. That said, you think Kenny beating The Bucks in November to win a tag team title shot, then immediately vanishing from TV for 6 months, was THE PLAN?

Andoski

Heard Ricky Starks’ contract is up in June and is waiting to jump WWE? Do you have any information on his contract status?

T Mar

Noticed that too. The old name is still on the LED board graphics when they enter, but it’s gone from their tron and nobody ever says it out loud now.

Andoski

What would you say Jen Pepperman’s biggest contributions have been since joining AEW? Hope you’re managing, sending good thoughts your way.

Jack Edathil

Do you think when Raw moves to Netflix the look & design of show will change? Be well!

Steve M

What is your favorite Conway Twitty song, and, if you know it, what was your grandmother's? I'm partial to the very Elvis-y It's Only Make Believe.

Steven Bell

SRS no question, just wanted to send love to you and your family. Thank you for all your hard work and effort and hope you and your family find peace in this difficult time.

Jake

"Off, is the direction he can fuck." Swerve quoting The Final Boss.

Excellence of Flexecution

Do it. 1 day of your life that could change/shape your future is worth it. No regrets.

Excellence of Flexecution

HI SRS, how are you? I wanted to know if there is any news about the possible direction of The Unholy Union (Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn) now that they're on Raw. They appeared this week on Main Event, but other than that, are there any specific plans for them?

Lior Brownstein

Welcome back! Condolences and love to you and yours! What do you think is the hold up with introducing Jacob Fatu? It feels like he will be the big star in the new Bloodline.

Jason Miller

What’s the latest on Jacob fatu? I saw a report somewhere that Triple H is hesitant to debut him because of the current bloodline storyline.

Mark D

Is Dakota Kai's losing streak building to something? Only 1 win since her return from injury and it was the trios on the Raw before Mania where she didn't even get the pin.

dead inside failure

Have you heard anything on NXT Europe or do you think it's fallen into the abyss

KEITH ELLIS

Any notion on when Roman comes back?

Kevin Wilkes.

Hey SRS! Any idea on Cody’s next program?

Kim Gray

This is a bit of a personal "What would you do if you were in my shoes?" question: In January of 2023, after 14 months of training and 4 matches in front of a crowd (none of which you can find on CageMatch), I left the pro wrestling business to pursue some unfulfilled dreams in the shootfighting world. Since leaving, I haven't taken a single bump in a wrestling ring, and I've been getting my name out there as a competitive submission grappler in the Northeast circuit. My desire has always been to fight MMA, but a variety of things have put that first fight on hold, and I'm making it my goal to finally have that first fight before the end of the year, fight as many times as I can afterwards, and see if I can make something of myself before I turn 40 (which is 11 years from now). With all that being said, there are still days where I miss pro wrestling and ask myself "What if I had gotten over my insecurities that held me back, and I stuck around?" And a friend with significant pull in the pro wrestling business who also does jiu-jitsu saw that I was missing wrestling, and wants to help me get my foot in the door for a future opportunity should I decide to come back. So he gave me a challenge for next week to drive 4 hours one way, help set up the ring and stage for his event that's happening the next day, and get a read of the room to see if my presence there feels right. To see if the backstage wrestling environment feels right for me to be a part of. To see if whatever anxiety I feel in that environment is a positive feeling of excitement or a negative feeling of terror. My question to you is should I take this friend's offer to drive 4 hours one way and help set up for his show? What would you do if you were in my shoes? (If you're curious about any additional details, DM me on Instagram @nicosuaveregoli. I'll provide you with as much information as I can.)

Nico Suave Regoli

What direction do you see hangman go when he’s back?

Mikey K

Any news on WWE’s reported interest of Katsuhiko Nakajima?

Johnny Mac

Any idea on what is holding back debuts in AEW for Kamille and MCMG?

Dobby_TheBrain

Hey Sean do you know if WWE has any interest in Hikuleo?

Hunter Carroll

Welcome back, SRS! Do you know who Bayley's next program will be with? And Becky's after Liv?

Samantha L. Sayre

Is Danhausen still with AEW? I feel like TK has dropped the ball with him

Matt Payne

Is there any certain signatures or finishers(whatever you wanna call em haha) that a certain wrestler has that would fit another one better? Even ones that men do that would fit a female better? I support sapp cause..... No crap just Sapp!

Cole

Who is your pick for queen of the ring now that Jade and Bianca are in it

Shawn Garner

They should just call it the WWE Championship. Simplify and be good to go...

Robbie Wray

Any update on chuck Taylor. Sorry if this is asking a lot just saw the news and wanted to know how serious it is

De'Lorian Diggs

isn't he a Q guy?

BugabooJonez

I know, I just meant if there would be more than just the two they announced.

Mike G

much love you Sean! with the recent shenanigans at aew shows regarding terrible behavior by a few individuals, who can we as a responsible community reach out to after shows to kind of give feedback to how security is doing or maybe something they didn't catch. i think they do great overall but it's also the responsibility of the community to stop bs like what happened to skye blue.

BugabooJonez

WWE usually keep couples together on the same brand as one another, but ever since Tiffany Stratton came up from NXT, she has been on Smackdown, while Ludwig Kaiser has been on Raw - any idea why they have been an exception?

David Evans

Hey Sean—All my best to you after your loss, and thank you for sharing your expertise with us in a tough time. With former IWGP champ Kazuchika Okada holding the Continental title, former IWGP champ Will Ospreay gunning for and likely to win the International title, and former WWE grand slam champ Adam Copeland holding the TNT title, do you feel AEW is making an concentrated effort to elevate the importance or prestige of its secondary belts?

Sean T. Collins

Any chance Free Agents like Mustafa Ali get considered for events like Forbidden Door?

Jose Balderas

Will the increasing likelihood that WBD is losing the NBA speed up negotiations with AEW. WBD gonna need live content to fill the gaps in their schedule that losing the NBA will leave

Adrian Carpenter

Hey Sean, If Britt shows up in a non wrestling capacity, do you think there is any chance Rebel will be worth it. I still can't understand why TK removed her from tv while she is still be paid

Kranepool7

Any word on why WWE decided to drop the Universal name and now only calls it the Undisputed WWE Championship? Is the Universal Championship still active?

S

Is there any truth of the rumors circulating on social media that Jacob Fatu would’ve outshine Solo in the current bloodline story right now

Kyle Pribila

Sean, i don't have a question. I know that life and even work has smacked you in the face a bit of late. I just wanted you to know that your work and the information that you provide (backstage news and such) is what helps keep me interested in the wrestling business. I respect the hell out of the work that you and the Fightful team do to keep us informed and entertained.

Del Roberts

Any plans for Roman's return? Him/Usos/Sami Zayn taking down the new Bloodline would be great!

Ronnie Rosenberg

Any idea on when Tay Melo will return ? And when kamille will debut ?

Charles Lee Ray

Hey Sean, first I wanna say i’m terribly sorry for what you have to deal with while grieving & vulnerable. You deserve so much better than that. Second, have you heard anything at all on jamie hayter?

Ichi

Is aew keeping britt off tv cause she's not 100%?

Charles Lee Ray

So are concussions

Dalton Bailey

Is Chuck Taylor legit retired after his last match? The sheets are talking about it but with Chuck saying nothing for something as bad as that I question it

M

Is there an issue in the relationship between AEW & Megan Bayne?

MarcustheGod

Hey SRS why was Dawkins picked to replace Lashley over Tez? Feels like Montez isn’t someone Triple H believes in as a singles wrestler.

NLO7

Has there been any interest in Jorge Masvidal as a wrestler? I thought he looked good in his AEW appearances before.

Irwin Guevara

Any word on how AEW feels seeing how a lot of big names have re-signed with WWE before their contract expires where as a couple of years ago there’s a good shot that they would’ve been able to sign them. Seems like the pendulum may (MAY) be a little bit more even now when it comes to signing talent compared to 2021-2022

Johan Acosta

Can Wwe and Aew run the same building within a month? Last years Wrestledream was at the climate pledge arena but this year smackdown is running that arena in late September and Wrestledream is at the Tacoma dome 3 weeks later.

Dunno

Any updates on Bo/Uncle Howdy’s return yet? Do you think it’s something they’ll do at a PLE or on SD or Raw?

Russell Sanderson

Diverticulitis is a weird thing to lie about.

Russell Sanderson

Any predictions on when Seth returns (like, logically for storyline)

Alicia Williamson

Maybe but i hope you’re sitting down, idk if you know this but sometimes wrestlers lie.

Dalton Bailey

SRS, any updates on any collaborative efforts between WWE and other promotions like Marigold, for example? Listened to the WrestleVotes Q&A on X last night and he seemed to say that WWE was open for business as far as collaboration and said that WWE was willing to do talent exchanges with wrestlers.

Matthew McMillen

In your opinion are there any WWE wrestlers who may still opt for AEW when their contracts expire. I'm thinking mid card talent who are not realistic going to get pushed as main roster is pretty stacked and there is NXT talent just waiting to take their spot. AEW is also starting to get back to where they were in 2021.

B

He’s getting surgery for freakin diverticulitis. He’s not wrestling a match 3 months from now.

Andoski

Have you heard when uncle howdy and his faction will debut? They surely wont keep this nightbird thing going to summerslam.

Tamela

Hi Sean, glad to have you back! When Kosha Irby came into AEW, the shift we were to anticipate was for AEW to run bigger markets. However, they're set to run in Palm Springs, CA, Loveland, CO, and Council Bluffs, IA, which aren't big markets and haven't been drawing well at all based on recent estimates from the Observer. Why not run the bigger nearby markets like San Diego, Denver, and Omaha? Why book these venues? Kosha Irby has done some good work for AEW, but these decisions are a head scratcher to me.

Thomas Rathert

I have attended almost 20 live AEW shows now, including a few PPVs, and thought it was really notable that Dynasty in St Louis was the first one where Tony Khan did not appear at all for the live crowd. Do you know if this represents a change in approach for the company, or was just a one-off? Glad to have you back, hope you’re doing well!

Andoski

They literally said this on raw. They said they would be kotr and qotr qualifying matches during this weekends live events

Tamela

SRS, did AEW lose the rights to using the name “Bullet Club”? They changed their music and get called out as “The Bang Bang Gang”. Thanks

Rob the Rich

Joe Hendry contrac update? I think he’d be a perfect fit in the wwe system

ccobian_131

any update on bobby lashley?

Hunter Tillman

Hey SRS, first off I want to say happy Teacher Appreciation Week to my fellow teachers. It’s not easy what we do but it is rewarding seeing our students achieve great things. Have you ever heard of WWE actually going into Chicago for a show? The UC would be perfect, it was for Punk’s AEW debut and I believe WWE did a house show once? Sorry for being long winded!

Connor Augenstein

Is Sammy Guevara still under suspension or has that ended?

bdo630

Is Sam Roberts signed to WWE full time?

Scott George

Any general news about AEW Fight Forever's future? There's been a lot of speculation whether they'll go ahead with a second year of support after this latest season ends almost to the date of the 1 year anniversary. Fightful reported Saraya was scanned in November but currently hasn't been included which could point towards future plans?

TGG

What was the best cheese?

Brad Woodard

Hey Sean. How do people in AEW feel about Tony Khan's WWE/Harvey Weinstein comments? I know there are some people in AEW like Adam Copeland who have no negative feelings about WWE. So I was wondering how people like that felt about Tony's comparison.

Viper51210

Another Q&A, another fun question: What's your favorite dinosaur?

Showtime1240

I hope all is well Sean. Do you see WWE being interested in the Tonga Twins. I'd expect NXT would be a good start

Jordan Miller

Any word on Hammerstone's injury?

Michael Bunge

Concerning the re-signings of McIntyre and Rollins, do you know if Tony Khan expressed any reactions or had any interest in signing them before they decided to stay with WWE?

Xiverson P.

TNA & AAA announced a partnership at HTK with a contract and we’ve heard nothing since. Do you know if they have any plans on doing an official collaboration soon?

luk3ycharm

A lot of the booking of Drew and Punk right now feels like it could be geared towards a double turn of sorts (Drew despite, being a heel, consistently bringing up times he’s been “wronged” that don’t sound delusional and Punk being smarmy (which granted is part of his babyface appeal) about wanting to fight Drew but doing it from a skybox or in the ring known Drew has “left” and etc.) Any idea or even just opinion if that’s either the plan or something WWE might pivot to, especially with the Castle show coming up where Drew will get a huge babyface reaction no matter what?

Brian Delpozo

Hey Sean, condolences on your loss. Just wondering if WWE will be having any other KOTR/QOTR matches during live events this weekend? With Smackdown just being two hours, just wondering if they are adjusting based on what happened at raw.

Mike G

Sean sorry about your lost hope you and your family are doing well. My question is that are the plans between Liv and Dom? We them interacting more often now. This past Monday Liv and Dom were going into the same room separately. Liv had shown a pic and we can see a purple bandana.

Manuel Gutierrez

Any word on the future of Isiah Kassidy? His promo sounded like a Private Party breakup was coming.

Chadman

Do you see Kamille showing up at Double or Nothing in some capacity, possibly as muscle for Mercedes??

Paul Anthony Moss

Sean, Sending my best to you and your family! Any talk of WWE using Sphere for Wrestlemania 41 Weekend?

Alex

I got tickets to Forbidden Door in Long Island. I know you said you think MJF will be back soon. You think he at least will make an appearance at Forbidden Door?

Jerrod Hazelwood

Any word on SummerSlam ticket sales; is WWE happy with how presale and the first day went, and are they opening up more of the stadium?

TJ Dylan

The mayor of London said he would bring Wrestlemania to the UK if re-elected. Now that has happened, when do you think we could realistically see it in the UK?

Callum Mace

Why are there no new wXw Shows on Peacock/The Network being uploaded since December? Unlike ICW and Progress their older shows are still available

DANiel 'The Mayor of Painsville' Schachtmeier

Welcome back SRS. Hope you're doing well. Have you heard any updates on Jimmy Usos status?

Taylor Cannon

Any update on WWE & Marigold. Do you expect Giulia to be working simultaneously in Marigold and WWE until she moves to the US full-time? How long would that be?

Sean Murphy

Is an Adam Page return in the cards soon? I'd love to see him in the Hollywood Hogan role of The Elite Civil War

Jeremy Plotkin

Have you tried the cheese yet?

Ty Dunker

Hey SRS. Hope you’re doing well. Any update on the Chuck Taylor and if this is a potentially carer ending injury for him?

Aiden Doyle

Hey SRS, what’s going on with Ricky Starks? He’s saying he’s not injured, yet he’s not being used on tv.

Leron Ford

If you could pick the five best opponents for Cody to face this year for the title that aren’t Rock or Roman, who would they be?

Ricky LaBlue

Is AEW doing anything to amp up local promotion to increase attendance?

Justin Kendall

Hey Sean, just wondering about mike rowe? I know he and alicia are switchingbut did something happen to him? He was not at Mania or backlash which is why I'm curious if there's an answrer

Laura Castiglioni

Whats the deal with Montez Ford and why do they refuse to finally showcase him? They even put Dawkins in the KOR over him.

NewLacCity

What’s Seth Rollins return timetable looking like?

Fwave

Hope you’re well Sean, do you have any updates on Rey Fenix? Did he get hurt again?

Thomas York III

Hope you're doing okay after your bereavement. Not meant as a dig against her but... what's the rationale behind WWE retaining Tamina, given her inaction and lack of creative angle, when releasing so many others?

Gavan Reilly

Any idea when Kamille or MCMG debut?

Matthew Hooks

SRS, condolences to you and your family… any word on the Wyatt6 before or at Summerslam and who’s in the group?

Jeff

Status on Natalya’s contract situation did she resign?

John Halton

Might not be something you’d have the info on, but I’d love a look back at Cody’s return. When did he know that was the spot? When did Seth know that was the plan? Was there a backup in case they didn’t get it agreed to?

Trevor D.

Alexa Bliss plans since she wasnt listed on the leaked Wyatt 5 group?

Greg

Hey Sean! I know you’re a big battle royal fan. What did you think of the old World War 3 matches in WCW?

BBQdad105

With MJF needing shoulder surgery was this decided at their meeting the Thursday after Dynamite in Boston?

Cory Reetz

Have you heard anymore on Mania in London? Is it in the pipeline or were those tweets between Triple H and the mayor of London just that - tweets?

Martin

Status on miro?

Michael Marin

When should we expect CM Punk back? Also Seth Rollins?

Jacob Kaye

if you have the information, when is shinsuke nakamura’s contract up?
