Do you think they push the Owen Hart tournament back a couple of months in 2026 to potentially allow Ospreay to compete?

I am not sure what his window is, but I don't think that's the kind of thing they would adjust a schedule to do. Also, I don't know if putting Ospreay in a tournament right after a serious neck injury would be the best course of action or the best way to exercise caution. I've not heard of any specific plans for the Owen Hart tournament.

Is Pretty Deadly over? Or will they return to normal upon Elton Prince being cleared?

I'm not sure exactly Elton Prince's injury, but it's pretty clear that they either didn't have plans for Kit Wilson for months, or didn't expect Elton Prince to be out that long. It was indicated to me that whenever Elton Prince is back, there's a good chance that the team is reunited. They still haven't got a REAL run.

With WWE terminating Ridge Holland contract early due to breach of contract, did that move come from inside the office of WWE or higher ups at TKO?

Inside the office at WWE, but the higher ups at TKO didn't reverse course when it happened, so they helped make the call as well. It was a decision that was made, and then reinforced across many levels, and a heartless one at that. I'm shocked and disgusted that people try to play devil's advocate for it. It's one wrestling standard that shouldn't have been broken.
