Adam Priest kinda sounded like he signed some kinda deal with ROH, any word on that? Love him from his DPW work.
Adam Priest does not have a contract with any company. All Elite Wrestling/Ring of Honor certainly have their eyes on him, but he's a free agent as of now. He's one of the best wrestlers on the indies, and has been for quite some time. I'd imagine he's signed within a year from now.
Any news on WWE interest in Saraya/Paige? Do you see her returning?
I haven't heard of any conversations between the two sides, or her taking wrestling bookings in the near future in general. She seems happy doing her podcast, doing appearances and promoting her book. I know WWE had interest in retaining her before she left for AEW, and were open to her trying to get cleared. I've heard of nothing new. I could see her making a Royal Rumble appearance and doing a program after that.
With the title Chief Content Officer, does everything we see on TV have HHH sign off? A&E/Netflix docs, NXT, LFG, Evolve. Any say with bookings with partnerships like AAA/TNA?
He could if he wanted to, but I don't think he is micromanaging everything that you see on TV. Even Vince McMahon wasn't paying attention to a lot of that, and he's one of the most notorious micromanagers in history. I'm sure he gets briefed on everything, but I'm not even sure he has time to consume every bit of WWE content that ends up airing. Certainly not some of the work-shoot stuff filming like LFG. WWE has definitely got say in AAA, they own the company. So their stars aren't getting pinned or anything like that without Triple H being okay with it.

I get your point, but everyone also complains about how big the AEW/ROH roster is and how many folks have been sitting at home for long periods of time.

Tony Khan shouldn't wait to give Adam Priest a contract. I'm actually kinda disgusted with how many indie wrestlers Tony has used frequently on AEW/ROH TV only to not give them contracts and they wind up in the WWE. They have a lot of people under contract who aren't getting TV time, if he isn't interested in Priest long term don't use him.

Also, Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture talked to Saraya at a comic con and Saraya said she's focusing on outside ventures this year and isn't taking wrestling bookings. But like the article states, she was unclear about bookings for 2026 and beyond.

I've seen Adam Priest wrestle for Prestige on several occasions. He is always entertaining to watch and puts on good, if not excellent, matches. I'm not surprised he is being scouted by some "major" promotions. He deserves all the success he's earned.
