Any update on Apollo Crews? I know he's injured but is there an update on his recovery and time table?

He sustained a torn pec at the end of January and underwent surgery. He's still listed as injured internally on WWE's rosters. He was said to be doing well rehabbing the injury.

Do you have any update on The Blade after his spinal surgery last year? Is he still under AEW contract? The Tag division could do with TB&TB back.

Blade is still under AEW contract. He had a pretty serious spinal fusion that not many wrestlers have returned from. He hasn't wrestled since February 2024, and he's currently 45 years old, and even fewer wrestlers return to the ring after a spinal fusion at that age. However, he's known within wrestling locker rooms as being one of the most nutrition and workout driven wrestlers in America.

Have you heard about how Jelly Roll’s training is going? It’s refreshing seeing celebrities coming in actually care about the wrestling aspect (ie Bad Bunny, Logan Paul)

I know that they called in a lot of people to help him for it, and this was seen as a much more difficult task than Bad Bunny or Logan Paul. Jelly Roll had ensured WWE that he would be committed to working on the match.
