Its seeming less and less likely that Britt Baker is returning to AEW tv, so I was curious if you had any idea when her contract is up?
Britt Baker's contract, at minimum, runs until the Fall of 2026. She re-signed a new five year contract in the fall of 2021. Assuming she has the same clause in her contract that the majority of other talent have, there's also the potential of significant injury time being added to the contract that would take her well into 2027. We aren't sure if that will be exercised.
Super random question, if you could remake certain tag teams/factions with modern day wrestlers what ones would you remake and who would be in them? I've been thinking about a new APA lol
I love the APA concept, and think that it's something that would work really great. I also think some tried and true gimmicks could work with a gender change, as well. For example, a female APA. Jessamyn Duke once had a pitch for her to be "the Fixer," which I think would have worked out really well for her. There have been a lot of attempts at doing new "Road Warriors" that AOP would have probably had Ellering's blessing to do. I don't think Demolition would be as difficult to replicate, either. I could see some very gimmicky gimmicks being handed down so to speak. For the women's APA, Bozilla and Nyla Rose would be fantastic at that.
With all the online chatter about HHH’s booking decisions from WrestlePalooza and people feeling underwhelmed by Cena’s retirement tour among other storyline decisions, who do you see taking over head of creative in the future after HHH is done? Could it be one of the producers?
There are two big front-runner options. There's always the chance someone like Brian Gewirtz could be brought in and given that spot, considering his history, his track record, and proximity to The Rock. I also think that CM Punk could end up being one of the more influential names in wrestling in the coming decades. I would honestly be surprised if he didn't end up taking over NXT whenever it is that Shawn Michaels wraps things up. There are also people like Drake Maverick/Rockstar Spud who could gain influence, along with people like Bobby Roode. There will always need to be a final decision maker.

Her story should be a 30 for 30 story. Such a downfall so fast. It’s a shame

Never thought I'd see the day where DX are prepping Punk backstage to takeover creative of anything

Tony needs to just cut Britt loose. Yes wwe will take her but in reality a parting of the ways is what is needed I dont believe she has the desire to come back, mend bridges and prove herself in a division that is lightyears ahead of the one she dominated. She is only visible on beaches and promoting draft kings these days ... hardly looks interested in coming back. Removed AEW from her sm accounts. Cut her loose ... if she had anything about her she should be fighting to come back or asking to be cut loose to get on with her career. Maybe she has other issues im not privy to but without that knowledge i question her desire to come back and put things right and fight her way back to the top.
