Females referees in WWE and AEW seem to have a little more star power than their male colleagues. Do you think this will lead to even more opportunities for them?

In some instances, like Jessika Karr, you can end up doing additional ref work. Aubrey Edwards has been on Unrestricted for a number of years, and has done work with AEW games. I would argue it already has led to some more opportunities.

after seeing the 6 teams announced for TLC it got me wondering - since they're in partnership with TNA do you ever see WWE trying out an Ultimate X style match?

I don't see that happening soon, but maybe eventually. WWE, regardless of regime, has always leaned way more into their own ideas. That was one of the reasons they embraced Elimination Chamber over WarGames. Triple H spearheaded WarGames' return over Survivor Series elimination matches.

Will All In stay in Wembley moving forward every year, or will it go back and forth between US and UK?

Tony Khan loves traditions, but I think if the last year has shown us anything, he's willing to change those if it's better for business. That resulted in their highest North American attendance for All In, changing All Out will make it the most attended in their event's history, and Double or Nothing moving out of Vegas was needed.
