Hey Sean, do you know if AEW plans on doing their traditional Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium? I noticed the dates it would normally be already have shows in other cities. This is usually my one AEW show of the year hope they're back in NYC soon. Thanks!

There is construction on Arthur Ashe Stadium that will be complete by the 2027 US Open. They're still holding events there, but I find it hard to believe that AEW will go there during the construction. Having been there twice, the walk back to the parking area isn't too fun, but hopefully that is rectified with the construction.

Any update on when HOOK is due to return? Said in his WOR interview he’d be back ‘soon’ and Opps have a gap with Joe taking time off.

There is no firm timetable right now. As best I know, he was brought back briefly to help loop in the story and plant a seed, but he wasn't cleared for a full return as of that moment.

Hey SRS! Just wanted to thank you for all you do. Your hard-work does not go unnoticed! Any updates on OC?

The latest update I heard was that he was feared to suffer a torn pec. That would have him out until the fall at least, and more likely towards the end of the year.
