It's early, but would WWE really run one of the following at WM43, given its location: Cody/Roman III, Cody/Rock, or Roman/Rock? And which is most/least likely to run there?

Yes, it's early.  WAY too early to predict where WWE storylines for WrestleMania in 2027 will be.  There are too many variables in play.

I know I have addressed this in the past but I have to ask again—I was reading the report of the Mania happening in Saudi Arabia and I reference what Bianca Belair said—"She said it's been amazing to be part of the hospitality and culture there.”  Now, is she just insanely stupid to say that or is she just woefully uninformed?  The culture there for women?  Is she kidding?  

You do know that people think differently, right?  There are a lot of Muslim women who are happy to live by their religion.  Bianca has been there.  I am betting you have not.  

Is it fair to say that the Saudis are paying WWE $100 million for WM 43?

I honestly have no idea but I would guess that they are paying more than that, and probably a lot more. WWE will take a lot of flak for running Mania there so they will want to be paid well.  My guess is probably $250 million, if not more.

Could one the reason AEW ratings are dropping so fast is they never advertise anything in advance? It seems a lot of matches are just thrown together randomly Wednesday afternoons and maybe that's part of the issue.

To me the bigger issue is that the storylines and characters aren’t connecting with people.  AEW always puts on good matches so people know if they tune in, they will see them.  They also know that most of the time the matches have no hook so that makes them missable.  The hardcore fans will always tune in.  AEW needs to get the people that need a reason to watch to get into the product.  To the masses characters and stories matter as much, if not more, than the actual matches.
