With the loaded women's division in NXT who do you think we'll see called up soon?

Jacy Jayne has gotta be at the top of the list. I've been saying that she should be called up for well over two years, and I think her title run put a highlight on that. Jordynne Grace is already making main roster money, so I would imagine that her going up will happen sooner than later. I could actually see someone like Wendy Choo getting a sink or swim run on the main roster soon too.

Who do you think buys WBD? I saw reporting that Netflix is looking at it. How you think that would affect AEW?

Probably Paramount, and it won't affect much. AEW has a good contract, and relative to cost does solid numbers and remains a streaming property as well. In this day and age, it's tough to tell, when net worths increase by billions in a single day. Netflix being involved is interesting, but I don't expect them to end up with it. Even if they did, I think AEW retains their TV deal. I definitely don't think WWE would leave a trail of them urging AEW to be dropped after the MLW lawsuit.

Is there is update on Adam Cole’s status & health?

I can't and won't disclose too much, but the last time I asked, I was told he was still dealing with the effects of the concussion he sustained. As of now there aren't any plans for him to return, and he hasn't been discussed for any creative. Tony Khan really likes him and wants to keep him a part of AEW for as long as he can. He hasn't been on the road, either. That would likely slow his recovery.

Wendy Choo is so talented! With the right booking she’ll definitely swim. I like how they’re changing her gimmick a bit. More main roster friendly.

So what if they’re trump supporters? How does that affect you and what you watch in any way?

Jordan Lassiter

I'm not in favor of paramount buying WBD for many reasons,for one it's owned by Larry Ellison & his family who are huge trump supporters and last night I read a disturbing article that basically claims that even if WBD doesn't sell to them,they will take their bid to the stock holders to force a sale,also do you know if Netflix has some kind of exclusivity deal with WWE? Because I feel like WWE would absolutely throw a fit if Netflix decides to go after Wbd
