Select Portions: AEW, Twitch, Roode, More
Added 2023-04-19 20:59:32 +0000 UTC- We've been told to expect more announcement of plans for AEW around the time of Warner Upfronts on May 17.
- Fightful has interviews with Roxanne Perez and Joey Janela going up this week.
- For those asking about Bobby Roode, he's been sidelined for a year, but didn't get his fusion until late last year. He's still expected to be out quite some time.
- We're told the WWE split of the new Twitch deal is very low, in the single figures.
- We're looking to expand our exclusive coverage. We've added In The Weeds with Jeremy and Joel Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Overbooked, which will feature interviews. Mike and Reg are also doing independent interviews on Indied.
- It was confirmed today that Fightful will be in London for WWE Money in the Bank coverage.
Spotlight interviewed DAD, who called out Seth Rollins after his KO victory at Creator Clash
-Wasn’t calling out the roster. Called out the entire company, including the building.
-Feels he deserves a WWE tryout. Does have two contracts. Feels he is made to be in WWE.
-Is trained by Rikishi.
-Praised by Karrion Kross, Scarlett, and LA Knight. They sent Seth Rollins the call out video.
-Someone told him Vince has said, “I love this guy, we have to get him on TV.” Triple H knows who he is but doesn’t know how he feels about it.
-“If Logan Paul is there, I feel I deserve it more than him.”
-Wants to be trained by WWE instead of working the Indies.
-Says Dolph Ziggler, Xavier Woods, and Bray Wyatt are fans of his.
-Knows Seth Rollins can’t do anything himself, but if they allow him to do anything, he would be honored. “I’m ready to do anything and work behind the scenes. I’ll clean the toilets.”
-Signed a contract to do digital content and thought it was a stepping stone to doing more. Signed a tryout contract and had flight and hotel info, but canceled a day or two before and the person who got the tryout for him was released.
-Had a 3-5 video deal with WWE Digital to work a feud with Dolph Ziggler on WWE Download.
-Wants to team with John Morrison to face Harley Morenstein and Joey Janela. Has seen all the Rocky and Creed movies.
- The interview airs Thursday.

2023-04-21 03:15:40 +0000 UTCI wouldn't mind DAD being in WWE. I'm in support of that, honestly.

2023-04-20 00:27:01 +0000 UTCI agree but that's unfortunately not realistic. If its 8% its akin to them basically taking out taxes so probably as fair as they could have reasonably expected

2023-04-19 21:43:36 +0000 UTCYeah except the wrestlers are getting a vast majority of the revenue as was stated in a previous post.

2023-04-19 21:24:05 +0000 UTCNot shocked about the twitch thing. Twitch takes quite a bit of money from the content creators
