Have you heard anything on when Jamie Hayter plans to return? Was hoping she would make FD. There’s still a chance she could return there of course
I'd heard she was hoping to be back by now, and AEW was hoping that she wouldn't be out this long, but you can't predict, plan or speed up what happened to her. She worked through the injury to do a smoke and mirrors angle to debut Thekla after her injury, which I know AEW appreciated. I'd assume she will restart that feud upon her return.
Any update on Lance Anoa’i ? Are there any plans for him to debut on NXT?
He's had a couple of setbacks. He got injured very early after getting signed last year, and was planned to be sidelined pretty well into 2025. However, based on what we heard, he sustained another injury after that and was still injured this summer. Just very unfortunate luck that has prevented him from appearing.
Regardless of how the Kross stuff turns out and adding on the UnReal show and what happened with Truth, do you think this may be a new way WWE does business? Blurring the lines more, correcting mistakes (truth) perhaps listening to the fans?
So I just have to make some things clear. WWE Unreal was a very honest show in the first season. They certainly used the Seth Rollins fake injury as a story for season two, but John Pollock sniffed that out very quickly.
Kross' departure is absolutely not a work. The promo after WrestleMania was, and he admitted it. But nothing else is a work in that situation. Maybe it could be one in the future if they re-sign him.
R-Truth was also not a work. They screwed up and reversed course. I don't think there's anything WWE won't do to work fans and media, though. So to answer your question, yes.

BL stuff seems to be done and they don’t really mention it anymore. Just Solo and his MFT crew.

I think Lance unfortunately missed the boat on the bloodline stuff, that storyline just kind of ended flat with no real big blowoff?
