What do you see Mox doing once the death riders turn on him? Does he go back to baby face or do you see him staying heel amd possibly forming another faction?
It should be the redemption tour. Jon Moxley's Death Riders originally started with pure intentions. They were afraid of AEW getting soft, and felt like they had to make sure that happened. Somewhere along the way, Moxley became the thing he hated, all because he was addicted to being at the top of AEW. Highlighting how much that means to him and how it changed him just to hold on to it would be a good approach.
What is the status of Chad gable?
He underwent a shoulder surgery in July to help repair a pre-existing injury that kept getting worse. He indicated he would be back sooner than expected, but didn't give a timeline. Shoulders are usually long-term injuries. He was scheduled to be back at the WWE Performance Center recently. However, I should make clear this isn't a sign that he's ready to return. It could be, but it's not a guarantee. That's where a lot of the talent go to rehab their injuries.
Do you expect to see David Finlay leave new Japan for WWE when his current contract is up. He seems to be not working as many shows as he once did
I think that David Finlay will leave New Japan Pro Wrestling, but I don't necessarily think it will be WWE. It certainly could be, but I think he's going to evaluate his options and see if either WWE or AEW are possibilities. There's always a chance he could stay with New Japan Pro Wrestling, but I think he's going to make a move.

NJPW are going to have to open the wallets to keep the likes of Kidd and FInlay and that does not sound like it will be happening.

I hope Chad is back for the rumble

MAN I hope you're wrong about Finlay, he's had such a great run there the past couple year or so, it would be a big loss for NJPW.
