SRS Q&A Questions

Hi Sean so what’s happened to Nyla Rose & Vickie Guerrero?

JJ Gyllenhaal

Will NXT add names from the main roster to add Star attraction to NXT

Jay Cain

will wwe resign Brock Lesnar

Jay Cain

CLOSED!

Fightful Select

2 weeks in a row Jeff Hardy has CHEATED to win his matches using the knee brace, do you think we will see a story or something coming from this?

ali bazzi

On the podcast that happens once I answer these!

Fightful Select

I'm new to this. Where are the questions answered? I thought it was a podcast somewhere

Raul Ortega

1.would it be better to have Paul Heyman be the brains behind Retribution or just scrap Retribution and allow Heyman to build a new Dangeroud Alliance? 2.Either way, would it be a good idea to have a faction on both Raw and SD? 3.Finally, who do you think would benefit or at least be most interesting for said faction(s)? I'll give my choices, SD-Roman, Cesaro, Lorkin & Birch, DiJack, maybe Thatcher, and heel Rhea Ripley. Raw-Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Alleistar Black, Cedric Alexander & Riccochet, and reunite Dakota Kai Y Teagan Knox.

Marc Forbes

With the way things are going with The Elite, should they rebrand BTE? Perhaps kayfabe it as The Bucks not wanting to do it with all the drama, and having Cutler continue it "on his own." OR having Silver and Reynolds take it over briefly and renaming it Being the Dark Order for a time?

Jim McShea

Have you heard if Medusa was brought in by AEW for just the women's tournament, or will she have a role with AEW going forward?

Jim McShea

Kind of a rhetorical question but why is Retribution reportedly a RAW only faction when Smackdown is ran from the same building?

''Avery Dunn''

Is there any news backstage on how Vince is taking to Roman's heel push after trying so long to make him "the guy"

''Avery Dunn''

Any reason why Deonna is not under contract as the champion? I'm sure that she is trustworthy, but realistically she could pull a Madusa if she so chose right?

''Avery Dunn''

If Robert Stone moved to the main roster but didn't take anyone from NXT with him for his brand, who would you think would be a good fit?

Graham Williams

Last time I pitched an Iron tables match, this time I'm pitching a steel cage ladder match. 4 ladders would be placed between the ropes and the cage, one on each side and barbed wire would be placed around the top of the steel cage, so they can say "nobody can interfere". What do you think?

ali bazzi

Hi Sean, who do you think will beat Roman for the Universal Championship and when?

ali bazzi

3) How do you see Thunder Rosa vs. Hikaru Shida going at All Out?

Jonathan Stone

2) How would you book Aleister Black vs. Kevin Owens program long-term?

Jonathan Stone

1) How is Mr. Brodie Lee booked from here defending the TNT title?

Jonathan Stone

I know it's hard to predict, but do you that think we will see any female superstars move to or from NXT in the upcoming draft? Who would you like to see potentially go to NXT?

Dev W.

1. Always thought Peyton had potential as a singles wrestler since signing with WWE, has her taking a solo run always been on creatives mind, or is that recent? 2. The NXT class from Evolve are said to be under 6-month test-drive deals, is this going to be something explored more? 3. Do you believe the idea of turning Roman heel is the key to getting the fans to cheer him? I think a heel turn is massively overdue and I feel he’ll succeed, but why does Vince always have a secondary motive when doing things?

Draculala

Do you think Keith Lee would look better having dominating quick wins vs quality opponents racking up many wins to getb to guys first title shot or having what happened on Raw?

Raul Ortega

Anychance of brock going to ufc? If so who would you like to see him up against?

Cameron Hutton

Will NJPW ever get another american tv deal. I know they have New Japan World but good luck getting it to work on most devices.

NateF_81

2. I love all of the Dark Order stuff. Like pretty much everyone else I did not at first. But with Brodie being TNT champ and the fan response they are getting. Do you think AEW will give them a even bigger push especially John Silver.

NateF_81

1.). Was the Roman Reigns NREL turn always planned or happened after the pandemic era of WWE? 2.). Is there any more to Mauro Ranallo leaving WWE? 3.). What’s the latest with Tessa Blanchard?

JJ

1. Any chance we see punk in aew or wwe over the next year in your view. 2. So thrilled for fightful Growth and I think a big part is the credible, trustworthy and down to earth human decency culture you and Jimmy instilled. With that in mind, how do you and jimmy go about hiring and looking at potential acquisition fits? 3) is there any interesting partnerships or acquisitions you and Jimmy monitor with all the growth you have had? Obviously wrestle talk has seemed to be a great two way relationship

1. Do you see Daniel Cormier being used for commentary or even in an in ring capacity in WWE in the near future? 2. Please tell me it’s all a work that Tyson Fury could possibly be in a match with Drew McIntyre? His last match was awful! 3. Do you think Mike Tyson could get involved with the Jericho vs Organe Cassidy match on Saturday?

Is there a plan to do shayna v asuka for the title? Is Mickie James well liked backstage?

Carlos

1. With the "Clash Of The Champions" ppv do you think they will do a Raw vs Smackdown vs NXT championship match?

NateF_81

1. is Chris Van Vliet still with AEW 2. Any word if Joe Henning is done w/ wrestling 3. Vontae Mack or Bo Callahan? Vontae Mack no matter what, right?

Rob Wilkins

1. Does WWE allow actual fans after October 30th? If not, how much longer before they do? 2. Any update on WWE running shows in Saudi this year or early next year? If they don’t, how would that work out? 3. What were your thoughts on the team of Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree back in the day? I kind of liked their mashup theme song and thought they were somewhat funny together.

YOUNG BIBBY

With tully being around FTR lately and him being Shawn Spears manager, do you think spears gets into the modern horsemen they seem to be setting up ? And would that be a mistake to have him and not Cody? I think FTR and Hangman are guarantees at this point.

Brennon Richardson

So I’m confused about what’s going on with the NWA on Fite TV, is it going to be a weekly show with paper-views every once in awhile or what’s up there ?

Brennon Richardson

relatively new to your work so I'm not sure if you've had this question before and what your thoughts are, Can you see Randy Orton tying Ric Flair and John Cena's 16 World Title reigns or possibly surpassing that or do you think Cena will pass 16 at any stage? Also adjacent to this can you see any current superstar getting to that record?

1. Who is currently in charge of the AEW Women’s Division? 2. Any rumblings of other NWA talents appearing in AEW? 3. Does the WWE have any plans for Dabba Kato or is he just occasionally going to appear on RAW Underground?

Brian Bayless

You mentioned about WWE wanting wrestlers to ditch their CFO$ themes. What about the UE? I can’t imagine them coming out to anything other than their current theme

Kristopher Bordine

Is Raw Underground expected to be a long term thing?

Dev W.

Was it the plan from the get-go for Nia and Shayna to become a tag team? The story seemed rushed.

Dev W.

1. I believe I saw that AEW/NXT ratings have gone up by being on separate dates. Have these show moves given you any thought of what schedule modifications we may see? Do you think NXT ever slides over to Tuesday and fills that old SmackDown slot? 2. Hell in a Cell is around the corner. Do you know if we are getting that awful red cell again? 3. Now that AEW Has some fans attending, how long do you think before they pull the trigger on Blood and Guts? Who do you think they have run that match when they eventually do it? Good luck to your month of not swearing. My birthday is the 28th, so I'm awaiting my late birthday present of profanity on October 1st. 🤣🤣

Ray Callahan Jr

A lot has been made of the 4 horsewoman in the wwe and a potential feud with rhonda, shayna, Jessamyn. I always thought they should have a factional feud with the second wave of nxt women that came up after them with asuka, ember moon, shayna, and maybe bianca belair. Thoughts?

e d

Do you see Brock Lesner working anywhere other then wwe at this point of his career?

e d

2) Do you think the short turnaround between SummerSlam and Payback could be a model WWE uses going forward to limit run times, one marquee PPV followed by a midcard/fallout PPV the following week?

Benjamin Howard

1) What is the best way for a company to utilize “good hands” who have some notoriety, but little potential to be in the main event scene? For instance, how could WWE best use lifers like Natalya and Dolph Ziggler?

Benjamin Howard

With Tay Conti having appeared on Dynamite and being “recruited” by The Dark Order, is it safe to say she’s officially signed and is part of AEW’s roster?

Jorge Cruz

3. Has WWE ever considered sending AJ Styles to NXT? Not only would the matches be superb, but I would think he could really boost viewership.

Oliver

2. Is Shawn Spears going 12-2 mostly on Dark leading to a bigger storyline for him?

Oliver

1. With Big E’s push, is vince considering him for the IC title? Or is he thinking more along the lines of the universal title? Seems like he’s getting more and more TV time.

Oliver

Hey srs, 1. Were the hybrid 2 affected by quarantine restrictions, and how do you think they fit into the stacked aew tag division? 2. Unless my memorys bad, which is quite possible, I can't remember seeing many 3-way or fatal 4-way matches in aew. Do you know if that is a deliberate thing with singles wrestlers being in tag matches instead more desirable? 3. Do you think Tay Conti is destined to join the dark order or is she going to be the one who tries to save her friend from a cult?

Ben Williams

Are there plans for Scarlett to wrestle in NXT or will she be solely in a managerial role from now on?

Donnie K

Since WWE commentary has invoked Tyson Fury's name on TV, and Vince said he'd still like to go to Saudi this year, what do you think the odds are that we'll be seeing Drew vs. Fury before the end of 2020 in KSA? With the North having gone across the border to IMPACT tapings, has there been any follow up to Robert Roode's status as he is also in Canada? Is it safe to assume that the Forgotten Sons have been forgotten until, say, after November 3rd?

Joel Pearl

1. Who are you looking to break out, or if already established, who will stand out at this Summer's NJPW G1 30? 2. MMA coverage as of late had been great when it comes to news bits and articles, led to me joining up on Select today. Any particular Fightful pods where MMA is a focus on big UFC event weeks? 3. Same question as above on NJPW coverage. I thought Jingu Stadium show was great, my favorite of the pandemic era, big event feel and post intermission big matches, easy choice with the amount of fans, but the atmosphere was just awesome. You guys cover big NJPW shows? Love the AEW coverage.

Bryan Ward

1.) I recently watched your Karrion Kross interview and in there he said he’s only been wrestling for 5 years which I found surprising. Are there any other wrestlers who haven’t been wrestling for that long and are just naturals at it? 2.) Why does Angel Garza Scream 2021 Money in the bank Winner all over him? He’s on of the most impressive guys on the roster. 3. What’s a bump you can’t stand superstars taking when it comes to there safety?

Zach Conner

Did you like how this year’s PWI 500 panned out? If there was one superstars ranking you would change, who would it be?

Skylar Russell

1. Are all of AEW shows going to be live with fans from this point forward or are they going back to having a live show then a taped show after All Out? 2. Have you heard anything on how New Japan is going to handle their IWGP US title scene? Mox said in a recent interview that they're working on something and I believe Kevin Kelly said something about being optimistic about this issue as well. 3. What do you think of all these new Evolve signings for WWE? Are they going to be introduced on NXT as potential new stars in the making or are they just extras to rely on for any backstage segments and Raw Underground?

Sheila Antonio

Who’s on your watchlist for the Indies right now? I really like AJ Gray, Rickey Shane Page and Allie Kay.

Skylar Russell

Other than the Four Horsewomen, which active WWE female wrestlers have already accumulated enough accolades to be in the Hall of Fame? Asuka, Alexa Bliss.. anyone else?

Ivan Yagolnikov

1. Rumour going around, Liv Morgans contract is up and she does not plan to re-sign and is leaving at the end of October. Any hearsay about that? 2. Is Adam Pearce the unofficial GM of Smackdown and Raw. I like the work that he's doing. 3. At this point with the Iiconics splitting up. What are the plans for the women's Tag Team Division? Thanks SRS!

Do you play video games, and if so are you a Playstation or Xbox guy? What games do you regularly play? Let’s run it in UFC and 2K

Skylar Russell

1. You mentioned recently you wished you wouldn't have used your real name for your public career. What would your pseudonym have been? 2. Which match are you looking forward to the most at All Out? Mine is the tag title match. 3. Do you think it was a mistake not to do Kenny vs Hangman and Bucks vs FTR at All Out, and do you think they would've went in that direction if arenas were filled?

Andy Quigley

1) is the state of the womens tag division in big trouble with loss of iiconics and teased splits of bliss cross and sasha/bayley? 2) any guess as to when both aew and wwe may try shows with fans outside of the state of florida? 3) does the overdoing of shots RIGHT IN THE PENIS and long ref bumps seem distracting in NJPW and take away from their matches?

Jake Schwall

What are the chances that brand split integrity will be factored into the reveal and continued storyline of Retribution? I feel like I know the answer, but curious in what colorful way Sean will say "no chance"

Eric Shepperd

Between Wardlow, Brian Cage, Lance Archer, Brodie Lee, and Luchasaurus, AEW has a pretty solid sirloin beef sons-a-guns "division" lined up. This combination of smart acquisitions and strong booking seems to me like a recipe for how the company could improve their women's division. Does that sound right to you?

Sean T. Collins

What do you feel the ceiling is for Joe Hendry in the business? I feel like he could be a bigger star. Has he gotten any attention from AEW or WWE to your knowledge?

Reid Greenspan

Who should be Street Profits next challengers

Shawn Garner

If Brock did go back and did 1 more MMA match with UFC or even Belator who would you wanna see him fight? With McIntyre vs Randy at NOC- who do you think we'll see Lee have his first feud with? How high are you expectations for the 4-Way Iron Man match on NXT? (If it already aired by the time you recorded) did it meet or exceeds your expectations?

Matt Payne

Do you think the Riott Squad beat Shayna and Nia for the tag titles

Shawn Garner

Do you think it would be better for Angelico to go for a singles run? Maybe I am the only person that thinks he has enough charisma.

Reid Greenspan

What exactly is the nature of WWE's problem with CFO$? You've mentioned that the group had signed a bad deal with their publisher, but wouldn't that be their problem more than WWE's?

Sean T. Collins

Who do you think Faces Asuka at Clash of Champions

Shawn Garner

With Mauro out and Vic Joseph & Wade Barrett stepping in on NXT commentary, is there any word on the status of Nigel McGuinness?

Sean T. Collins

What is the deal with Demi from The Bachelor? I can't see there being a corporate synergy between ABC and USA, so is this a purely WWE idea?

@RassleStats

Q1 - I’m a big Kayla Braxton fan, but I’m so impressed by Charley Caruso on RAW Talk. She is so relaxed on air Kayla seems to be the new lead Can you compare the two, skills + weaknesses and preference? Q2- Abusive Imagery. So we saw more on Monday night raw. Disgusting behaviour. Can you tell me what you think of this. You have to sign up with your Credit card and Electronic consent you’ll behave. Your sign up includes you giving ten bucks deposit. All is well, you get your money back and say 5/10 bucks off WWE Shop. Problem with your behaviour - 150 dollars fine and potential forwarding of your details to the Police. Q3-I believe Billie Kay may be leaving WWE?
