In this interview Tony Khan talks about what happened to CM Punk and having to make an interim title: "Based on what happens in real fights, in the world of fighting, this is what you do. You have a great champion, and if they are injured, you name an interim champion and set up an exciting unification fight. We have a great chance to set something exciting up. It is a setback, but we're really excited to get CM Punk back. He's going to have surgery here quickly and I'm very nervous, but pretty optimistic because he's going to be seeing one of the top doctors in the entire world and someone really renowned in sports medicine. We were fortunate to get him in quickly. We're excited to get him back." And speaking of Punk his "lower leg surgery" was a success. (AEW)

In this interview RUSH talks about his current contract status: "I am grateful to Tony Khan for giving me the opportunity. We are still under talks and negotiations. For now, there are just dates (not a full-time contract). I already did the first jump (step), which is being in the PPV, and not just a segment, but they gave it the value that both RUSH and Andrade have. They left that promo for the end. Nobody expected it, not even my own family. For now, my objective is AEW. I am now in AEW and I want to face the biggest names. I want everything! I am not going for the minimum. You name it! CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, (Jon) Moxley, Samoa Joe, the best they have (to offer). Imagine RUSH vs. Samoa Joe. There's a lot of material. Bryan Danielson vs Toro Blanco RUSH, two ex ROH World Champions against each other. There's Moxley, which they state is the most extreme one. They need to see a real Mexican badass. A lot of people have requested this match. RUSH vs. Kenny Omega. We can finally have that match."

Here Freddie Prinze Jr. says he wasn't afraid to sneeze around Vince McMahon: "If I did, I didn't care. I mean, it's a normal thing. I know. I've heard all like the 'ew, gross' stories and all that. But he just plays it up, you know? He doesn't like it, but who wants to get sneezed on, who wants to get sick? Nobody. But I think that's been blown up more than it actually is. Or when I worked there - at one point it had been a real thing, but even he kind of played it up a little bit, at this point. But I never got in trouble for sneezing."

In this interview Taya Valkyrie says she's open to working with AEW: "So the idea of me potentially going into AEW, or having some sort of crossover there, is something I'm completely open to. There are so many wonderful, talented people over there lots of things, like, the fact that John is there, and I could be with John again, or the fact that you know, my two brothers, Pentagon and Fenix are there working with them, we have a stable that's going to be you know, established in AAA, and AAA and AEW have a great working relationship. I'm the Reina de Reinas Champion, four-time champion. Longest-reigning Knockouts, and Reina de Reinas Champion. So I absolutely think the possibility of that happening at some point would be wonderful. So I'm open to the idea, so we will see what happens."

Here Dan Rycket talks about his time as a podcast producer for WWE: "I did have a lot of good experiences at WWE and to be fair, the team that I worked with, everyone that I worked with was excellent. We had a podcast team there, we're all there trying to do our best, make stuff. We weren't allowed to do stuff, piloted a bunch of stuff that never made the light of day like they were great stuff. Worked with RJ City quite a bit. He was amazing. I wouldn't have normally said this, because I don't want to say things I've worked on that didn't come to light but Johnny Gargano already said it on his Twitch stream. So I will say I piloted an Attitude Era podcast with Adam Cole, Johnny Gargano Dakota Kai, and Stokely Hathaway formerly known as Malcolm Bivens, and it was fucking great. It was really good. We did a super fun episode of an Attitude Era rewatch podcast with those four incredibly talented individuals who are also not there anymore, but it was great. It was just incredible, and that's just one little taste of like the type of things I was piloting and making that never got greenlit."
