How do companies like MLW & NWA make a profit when their shows are not behind a paywall of a service ?
Well, sometimes they don't. MLW does good ticket sales, and getting a huge settlement from WWE is also helpful. The reality is, neither of them have run that often of late. NWA was airing television they taped three months before. MLW has a more spaced out schedule these days, but when they were on weekly, they usually had a television deal of some sort. Sponsors also help out!
Any chances of Brie Bella coming back to reform the Bella Twins sometimes next year? Seems like the only reasons why she has yet to come back is WWE’s problem with Bryan and the “yes” chants.
Yes. There's certainly a chance of that happening. She's open to it, Nikki Bella is open to it, and Brie has said those are the circumstances that she wants a return. I don't think the chants matter. WWE has felt like they own those chants anyway. Get over any way you can. As long as people are into it and making noise, more power to them.
RJ city seemingly ending a number of his projects, Have you heard why? Is he a taking a larger role within AEW perhaps?
RJ City's contract is not expiring, and he's still working with AEW. They had been planning for the end of Hey! EW for quite some time. He just felt like ending his long running coffee series at the same time was a nice clean sweep. He's still working in all of his other duties and will keep contributing ideas. It was made very clear to me that there was an exit planned for this for a while. He's been a part of some major ideas, and I would expect him to continue in creative and also work on some new content.
