Since WWE missed the boat with Otis’ revenge on Gable, do you think we will get that when Kairi eventually turns on Asuka?
Yes. I think that the physical abuse Asuka's character is putting Kairi through has to be met with a physical explosion. I thought this was a gigantic miss with Otis after all he sustained from Chad Gable. They had an honest to god second chance with Otis and fumbled it by just having him shove Gable down.
With Wes Lee being a free agent, and the Rascalz (Wentz, Miguel) contract tentatively set to expire later this year, do you expect Tony Khan to try and bring all 3 of them into AEW? Or do you think they'll just try and bring in Wes Lee? Thanks
I think they're great talent that would honestly all fit in in well with AEW. I don't think they're going there, and if they did, I think they'd probably do well to add Myron Reed as well. How many trios have we seen that end up with an injury and are out of trios contention? They're all very good. I just haven't heard of specific AEW interest. Maybe that will change in January. That would be four great workers to bring over.
Do you see anyone from NJPW or CMLL holding the Men's World Heavyweight title in AEW?
Not any time soon. Maybe way down the line if there's someone undeniable that you can't avoid. Unless you count Konosuke Takeshita, who almost certainly will be world champion. WCW had Hiroshi Hase briefly hold their International World Title. There was a big period from March 1991 to February 1993 where Tatsumi Fujinami, Masa Chono and Great Muta all held the NWA World Title while in WCW.

I could see whoever succeeds mistico as cmll's top guy maybe winning the title at a big cmll show from an aew heel and dropping it a few weeks later at forbidden door. Could generate a lot of buzz.
