Sean Ross Sapp Q&A form

Fightful Select

"No favorites" questions please. As outlined in the rules. This is more of a news Q&A

Fightful Select

1. Do you think the Thunderdome arrangement with no fans will encourage Sami Zayn or Brock Lesnar to return soon? 2. You guys mentioned that wrestlers are encouraged to get their CFO$ themes replaced by the new music group. Will there be repercussions if some of those wrestlers refuse to change their entrance music? 3. Do you think AEW allowing fans back at a limited capacity will prompt WWE to do the same for NXT at some point since they're not at the Thunderdome and they don't have to abide by the no live fans restriction?

Sheila Antonio

Despite the way he debuted does Keith Lee being in a match with Randy Orton show confidence in him? Is it slightly weird to you that the concrete on the outside is less impactful than the exposed wood of the ring? It's a thematic thing I suppose.

Bryan D'Ambra

Where is Elis at? i remember him being part of something around mania but havent seen him since. is her heard or just staying away cuz of covid.

Derek Davis

Also curious about any sort of NWA/AEW arrangement, would thunder rosa need permission for her appearnace

e d

Where do you see them going with the Kenny Omega storyline? Wouldn't it be a huge swerve if he aligned with FTR instead of page?

e d

Did you see the interaction. between Big E and Miz on talking smack and what did you think of it in light of the current landscape.

e d

What’s the scoop on miz?

Arturo Gonzalez III

In your opinion, when is the best time for WWE to start planting seeds for their Mania plans?

Dev W.

Every year, we get a plethora of male superstars returning for matches/segments. We know from the Rumble/Evolution that a lot of the legends of the women’s division can still go, so why does WWE not treat them with the same reverence. Especially post-Women’s Evolution.

Dev W.

Do you think Sasha and Bayley get split in the draft?

Dev W.

1. Any chance you see Retribution being a cross brand faction with Seth and Roman leading it? They left Seth alone Monday night, and obviously we saw Roman's shirt at SummerSlam. If so, I think there is a lot they can do there. 2. EC3 is now saying he wants to destroy the TNA title. Where do you see this going? 3. Someone asked this before, and you said you'd check. Have you heard anything about how long WWE will be in the ThunderDome and how much it's costing them to run all of it? Thanks Sean! #FTF

Ray Callahan Jr

What do think of Anna Jay in the dark order role and how far up do you see her potentially being pushed to in the womens division as a result? Not a question but just wanted to say a big thank you for still getting out an AEW review this week despite there being so much on. Your hard work is always appreciated!

Ben Williams

2} Do you think AEW will have FTR with the championship belts before they face the Young Bucks

NateF_81

1Have you heard who's idea it was to turn Shana and Nia into a tag team

NateF_81

3) What's next for Adam Cole?

Jonathan Stone

2) What do you see the plan for the AEW tag titles heading to All Out?

Jonathan Stone

1) Where does Diamante/Ivelisse go from here?

Jonathan Stone

1. Is Brandi Lauren signed or close to signing with WWE? Over the last few weeks we’ve seen her as an extra and I remember other talent such Scarlett filling the same type of role when she signed. 2. Has there been any updates regarding WWE bringing in more Evolve talent since the purchase of the promotion? I’m particularly curious about a possible Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne return to WWE under NXT. 3. Has Kairi Sane accepted the WWE ambassador role she was offer? I saw her post of photo herself this week tagging WWE Japan that had the WWE Live tour logo, maybe it’s an old photo but thought I would ask given the previous story maybe it signified she had?

Kyle Cotton

3. Who do you consider the best pure heel in wrestling right now

KingoftheNorth

2. Who do you consider to be the best pure babyface in wrestling right now

KingoftheNorth

1. Just curious what your overall thoughts are on the AEW Saturday rating, thought it was a damn good number all things considered

KingoftheNorth

I am not a huge fan of Shayna, but I blame WWE for that. How is she not the badass who just beats people up? Instead she is cutting corny promos cause vince? I want to like her. Also about to listen to sour graps for raw and when its this bad with the women at least we know Alex’s show will be extra good.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but does Renee Young have a No Compete?

With AEW opening up the venue to limited fans and releasing several wrestlers, is this a sign that AEW is finally having to make moves to recover revenue because of the pandemic?

Who is more likely to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? Lex Luger or Sid? Which promotion has treated their wrestlers worse during the pandemic, NWA or MLW?

Kenneth Le

In a recent promo Cody states that he himself “is the most hated guy in the locker room” at AEW. Any kind of truth or meaning behind this?

Hunner Gaskins

What are some practical ways to improve the discourse around wrestling? It makes it hard to have good discussions when there is so much hostility and defensiveness from different fanbases. Ultimately we should all just like what we like and be able to talk about it freely.

jonah

After Randy Orton, who do you think Keith Lee will feud with next?

1-Think Wade Barrett will be signed to NXT as a talent if things don't work out on commentary? 2- How many matches do you think we'll have for Payback? 3- What matches are you looking to see Kross defend his title in NXT ?

Matt Payne

Do you think Miro shows up at All in ?

Manuel Rosales

Do you if there is something going on between the NWA and AEW?

Manuel Rosales

1. With Cody seemingly distanced himself from the rest of The Elite have you heard of any conflict between them?

Brian Bayless

You had a story about NXT talent putting over coaches, do you know of any AEW coaches that wrestlers have put over, especially for helping improved talent like Nyla Rose and Penelope Ford?

1. I was gonna ask how long before Roman was inserted into the title picture but already got that answer.. is it a dangerous play putting him in a title match immediately especially since there was a lot of buzz about his return and fans loving him? 2. was it a smarter play debuting thunderdome on SD to work out any kinks rather than debuting it on summerslam to add to the hype of a big 4 ppv? 3. Are the ppv subtitles just an attempt to draw more hype for shows and do you expect them to stick around once fans return?

Jake Schwall

With Mandy and Sonyas story done for now, does Mandy rose get into the title picture or is she just going to be with Otis?

How do merch sales work in WWE? Do the wrestlers get a percentage amount of each item sold? Is this a negotiable rate?

Becky Dayecarter

What were your thoughts on AEW deceiving people by trying to give fake spoilers? I thought it was a good idea because I was just waiting for the former Erick Rowan to come out and make the ending overproduced. They even said he went by a new name to make everything seem real.

Reid Greenspan

What do you make of Sonya’s backstage promo after Summerslam, saying “Do not call me that ever again”? Could you see her getting around the stipulation by returning under her real name or perhaps a mix of the two? Hopefully not a legit repackage because the character as is, is fantastic.

Becky Dayecarter

If the 4 horsemen ends up happening in AEW, besides FTR, who else is going in you think?

Reid Greenspan

Has Mance Warner left MLW? I noticed his MLW shirts were taken down from Pro Wrestling Tees, and he has no mention of the company in his Twitter bio (although, to be fair, I’m not sure if he had anything about MLW on there to begin with).

Jorge Cruz

Is Veda scott signed to aew? She’s great. Also, when is Excalibur coming back?

Elaquent

Any update on where we’ll see the rest of Bullet Club in Impact since The Good Brothers touted about Impact working with NJPW?

Who do you think are the most credible people to challenge Kross for the NXT Title? I don’t see that many people that i would believe as a legit threat to him, besides Balor and maybe Thatcher.

Skylar Russell

If Mysterio decides to do a “retirement tour” type of run outside of WWE once he chooses, who are some talent that would benefit from a match with him? Give me Rey vs Hiromu asap

Hunner Gaskins

as the Chris Jericho of wrestling journalism, how do you keep coming up with these ideas, oh DongLord? How did you find the wisdom for you current masterpiece #FTF ?

Nights

When do you see Reigns winning the Universal title back

Shawn Garner

Why did wwe think they could build up a PPVs worth of feuds in one week before payback

Elaquent

Whem do you think Sasha And Bayley lose their tag titles

Shawn Garner

1. Do you think Wade Barrett and Ryback should have been world champions in WWE? 2. Any update on the Hall Of Fame 2020? 3. Will AEW have fans for the 8/27 episode and going forward? Or just the Thursday episode?

YOUNG BIBBY

Are you a avid collector of any wrestling merchandise? Figures, Funko’s, Shirts, Title Belts, etc

Skylar Russell

Do you know if Cesaro is interested in going to AEW? Because Cody’s constantly mentions him so does Jericho, YBs and now Brodie on BTE. Is there anything to that ?

Manuel Rosales

Who should be Bayleys next Challenger

Shawn Garner

If you were a journalist for anything other than wrestling, what would you choose?

Skylar Russell

Will we ever see the demon version of Finn balor ever again

Elaquent
