Where are The Lucha Brothers, Ricky Starks, Wardlow, Danhausen, Miro?  Are they perhaps being held off so they come back as one big stable?

All are under contract to AEW.  No idea why they are not on television but I do not believe any except Wardlow are injury issues.  When they return remains to be seen.

I see AEW and WWE are doing more tapings in advance lately.  Financial issues?

No.  In each case, I am told it's more logistics than anything else.

I saw you report many of the women are getting new deals.  Do we know if they are finally getting paid at the level of the Male performers?

There's been some whispers and comments that they are, but I don't know 100%.  I sure as hell hope so, as they certainly deserve it.

How soon does Samantha Irvin appear for AEW?

We are told she's not AEW bound and won't be working in the pro wrestling space for a long time, unless she opts to return to WWE down the line.

Settle a bet for me.  Did PWInsider ever report The Lucha Brothers signed with WWE?

No, we did not.  There were people out there claiming Penta and Fenix had signed, but it was all BS.  We checked with sources close to the team and AEW and all sources stated the brothers were still signed to AEW, so there was ZERO way it was true.  If you bet we reported it, you should pay up to the other person.

Do you think Tony Khan regrets saying he feared for his life in the CM Punk stuff?

I don't know if he regrets it.  I wish it had never been said, however.  I don't think any of that stuff, including using the footage, benefited AEW in any meaningful, long-term way.   I think they are far better off having moved past it.
