In this interview Shawn Michaels talks about who has impressed him since the NXT relaunch: "Bron (Breakker) and Tony (D'Angelo) have done phenomenally. The Creed Brothers, those boys they are bad, they are all bad, they are legit just bad dudes but to have them come to the back and just be so excited, hugging you and just being so jazzed about what they are doing out there at such an early time it's infectious and so we're having more and more of those people coming along. When it's that fun for them, it's fun for us as well. Even if it doesn't go perfectly they are doing such an amazing job. Tony D'Angelo has probably had 6 matches, live on television, everything else has been reps in the warehouse, that's staggering. To be in the main event, to have to understand commercial breaks, the end of the show, and going off, that is a lot to put on young men and women. They are doing it because they rise to the challenge, they like that pressure situation because, again, that's (what) they got into sports for."

Here Colt Cabana talks about Tony Khan opening the "Forbidden Door" in AEW: "When Tony did this Forbidden Door thing, I just loved how it changed everyone's thought process about wrestling. I was around when they started doing these contracts in independent wrestling, which was mind blowing to me. I was always very against it. 'How are you going to contract me when you're not even paying me minimum wage of what a minimum wage worker is? What is the point?' I feel WWE and the idea of wrestling made everyone think 'This is how it has to be, no one can go out.' I'm such a romantic for the old territory times where Dusty is doing Florida, but he shows up in New York. Bruno shows up in Australia. It's so cool. It really took for Tony to be like, 'Yeah, that's cool.' Now, our wrestling mindsets are allowed to change a little bit. It's not hurting anyone involved in the Forbidden Door. It's only good."

In addition here's the latest episode of AEW Dark.

Speaking of AEW, Rampage did surprisingly well on Christmas Day, pulling in 589,000 viewers and a 0.26 18-49 demo. That's their highest number of viewers since November, and an increase from 571,000 last week. The demo was their best since Sept. 24 and also up from a 0.23 last week. (Wrestlenomics)

Tony Khan talks about signing Kyle O'Reilly: "Kyle O'Reilly is a huge addition for AEW. He's a great, great wrestler. And not only did we get Kyle O'Reilly, we also got Bobby Fish and Adam Cole. These are huge signings individually, but even more massive together. Adam Cole's debut at the end of All Out, that's one of the most important moments ever in AEW, and now he's surrounded by his former partners. To have Kyle O'Reilly debut and help Adam Cole get the win over Orange Cassidy in a great wrestling match last week on Dynamite, that builds more interest in AEW. Kyle makes his debut in the ring this week, and it's symbolic that it is happening on the final Dynamite on TNT. So much of our run on TNT was spent battling these guys—Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. When we were head to head, it was threatening to us every time they were on camera. Now we've added them to our team in AEW, which is such an advantage. Having them here is tremendous. I wanted Kyle to sign with AEW as soon as he was a free agent. This week on Dynamite will be special. We'll see Adam Cole make his first appearance at Daily's Place, and so will CM Punk. Sting will be there. And at the forefront of it all will be Cole and Bobby Fish teaming with Kyle O'Reilly, making his in-ring debut."

JONAH f/k/a Bronson Reed says his current Impact contract runs through next April.
