Do you think the elite are going to be united again. I really do miss them being together. Maybe Kenny can become a part-time manager for them. I think it would add alot to AEW excitement

I do. Kenny Omega will still wrestle here and there, but he faces so many health struggles that it's impressive that he's able to stay in the shape he does. I think the Young Bucks downfall has been the catalyst for a babyface turn. They had to be humbled after that Elite VP run before they were babyfaces again. Now, AEW is so loaded on the heel side with the Death Riders, Don Callis Family, The Opps and MJF back soon.

El Clon has debuted for AEW as a DCF member, but he hasn't wrestled a match yet. I'd heard that the man portraying him had suffered an injury not long before that debut. What is the timeline for him to be ready to wrestle, or are they holding him off for other reasons?

I heard back in August that Arez, the wrestler scheduled to portray the Clon character, had sustained an injury of some sort -- I believe a foot injury. They still kicked off the angle, but then Hologram got sidelined with a very serious knee injury. This angle has seemed snakebit unfortunately. I know it's one that Tony Khan really wanted to do.

Let's say WWE did want Edge to face Cena, if they told Tony Khan they would lift the no compete clause on Andrade for Edge to make 1 or 2 appearances, do you think Tony Khan would've done it?

I doubt it. I don't think Tony Khan is at the point right now that he would do anything to help WWE. That was different years ago when he allowed Paul Wight and Chris Jericho so submit videos for a John Cena thing, but the last probably three years have changed that completely. Especially since TKO took over. Also, I'm pretty sure Tony Khan knows if Andrade will be able to get out of his deal anyway.
