With Paige returning to AEW, is she really going to wrestle?

I was there live, so I haven't heard the commentary yet, but the entire angle played out like the endgame was for Britt Baker to face Saraya, so yes, my gut is she will be wrestling at least that match.

You wrote last week you expected AEW to sell out in NYC but it didn't look it was sold out.  Was it?  If it wasn't sold out, how did they have their biggest AEW gate ever?

They were absolutely not sold out.  Last year, they sold out and then kept opening up more sections to accomodate more fans.  This year, they didn't happen.  However, it was their biggest live gate for a TV taping due to increased prices compared to the debut last year.

I know this sounds weird, but has there ever been any talk of perhaps a Roddy Piper museum somewhere?  Maybe Portland?  That would be a cool attraction to visit.

I've never heard of any such idea, but I'd personally love to see it.  I just don't know that Roddy, as much as anyone who truly loves wrestling loved him, would have the curiousity from the general public the way an Evil Knievel or a Muhammad Ali generate in order to keep such an institution ongoing.  I truly love the idea though.

Why is HHH bringing all these concepts from NXT to the main roster?

You answered your own question without knowing you did.  They are Triple H's concepts, that worked in NXT.  Of course he's going to bring them to the main roster.

Were any of the "under investigation squad" backstage at AEW since the incident?

No, none of the principals involved - Kenny Omega, CM Punk, The Young Bucks, Ace Steel - have been at any AEW events since.
