Will MJF become AEW World Champion next year?

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens but that is a question only Tony Khan can answer.

Has there ever been a worse place to wrestle or hold a wrestling show than Saudi Arabia?

For sure.  At least Saudi Arabia pays a Prince's ransom for the show.

Do you feel that if WWE didn't have the broadcasting deals from Fox and NBC Universal, they would be in the position similar to what WCW was in before they folded?

Honestly, no.  It would hurt them big time for sure, since the vast majority of their revenue comes from TV Rights Fees but even if they didn't have the deals that they have now they would have some kind of TV deal.  They would still have the Peacock deal.  And they draw revenue from house shows and merch.  So they wouldn't be in the shape they are now, but they wouldn't go under either.

Why hasn’t NWA spent some money for some WWE releases?

See above.  WWE has huge TV deals bringing in revenue.  The NWA doesn't.  It makes no sense spending big money on people who they aren't able to monetize.  In fact, it's bad business.

What is the point of doing the queen of the ring tournament if all the matches are going to 3 mins or less?

WWE doesn't look at it like you do.  The length of the matches doesn't matter to them.  So, the point was to create a Queen in the storylines.
