Hello, any info on why Brussels, Belgium has been added last minute to the WWE Europe tour in January ? WWE stated on their website that Brussels has been added due to high demand but I was wondering if they had something else planned for Brussels maybe bigger that couldn’t happen since the success of raw here this past March so they decided to add a date last minute.

I haven't heard of anything else being added as of yet, but Brussels could be a victim of their own success. They know that they're going to go there and do crazy numbers, which is why they could add a show late. If Brussels pays a site fee to bring a big WWE show there, I'm sure WWE will. But right now, WWE does well without that. I was surprised it wasn't on the list from the jump with their tour, but all is right now. Wish it was televised though.

Knowing how sensitive those joints are and the fact the injury was far worse than anticipated, is there a chance that WWE never clears Bianca Belair? I know it seems far fetched but recent photos show the finger still not looking right and I haven’t seen many positive updates on her return

Not to downplay the injury, but nobody that I've spoken to has ever discussed that. I know it's been a long and frustrating road for Bianca, and she's had to spend more time outside the ring than she expected, but I've never heard a concern for retirement or not being cleared along the way. I've never heard of a finger injury ending someone's career, either. To be fair, this is the first time I've seen this specific injury in wrestling.

Totally trivial question: Do you know what food wrestlers in AEW like the most in backstage catering?

Grilled chicken is always a big hit regardless of company. They usually have a very good catering situation for the talent. I worked the Black Label Pro show last year and Paragon Talent Group had Jimmy Johns brought in, and that was neat.
