SRS Q&A Questions

How do you think the releases will affect WWE a year from now?

Aidan O’Donnell

Thoughts on bubba ray do you think we'll see him wrestle again?

Daniel Cunliffe

No word on him as of yet!

Fightful Select

damn I missed it! im new here just wanted to know maybe Sean comes back here but just wondering if there was any news on the butcher and where he has been as he has been away from the HFO act for a while

Anthony Ramos

CLOSED

Fightful Select

If you had to pick the person to take the Impact World title off of Omega who would you choose?

Allie Bat

If you could get a fully transparent and honest interview with Vince McMahon or Dana White, which would you choose

Richman

With NXT hitting their new lowest rating on Tuesday this past week, what do you think it is about the brand that prevents it from drawing the attention it deserves?

Luke Skywonker

Hey Sean, Do you see Adam Cole being Joe's one time in ring. I know they have a history and Adam would probably be the safest. With taking care of Joe with his injuries and what?

NateF_81

Are there any big names who’s contract expires this year? Which one do you think is most likely to switch to a different promotion?

Gday Sean, last year there was a fair bit of speculation that a “Big Name” at WWE was not renewing there contract and that they had actually recorded an “exit interview” with journalists, possibly yourself I cant quite remember, and the speculation was that it was Ricochet, whatever happened to that talent? Did they re-sign, did they have injury time extended to their contract? Thanks again and great job mate.

Sean... I am in no way defending Jaxon Ryker but I was curious your thoughts on why we continue to talk about Ryker or Sasha Banks liking anti mask posts but Chris Jericho shares the same beliefs as Ryker and made a bunch of them public but yet we give him a pass and not Sasha Banks, who really hasn’t said anything publicly? I’m genuinely curious as to how you view that situation

Joel Wood

Before COVID AAA and Impact had a good partnership. Have you heard if Impact has any plans to bring in AAA talent other than Black Taurus?

There seems to be a lot of things that longtime or top WWE talent get away with on social media that lower card and mid card talent can't or don’t. A recent example being Ariya Daivari Tweeting that he wanted to shout-out Top Flight when they were signed to AEW, but couldn’t. Yet, in the past, we’ve seen talent like Randy Orton shout out his brother and even promote Matt Cardona’s AEW shirt. Do you know if things like this and other situations like some talent still being allowed to do Twitch have caused friction in the locker room in any way?

Michael I

SRS Any Chance Triple H can Convince Tommy End/Alistair Black to make an NXT return or is he headed to AEW?

Jay Cain

When do you think wwe will decide to use goldbergs second match this year? Summerslam, survivor series or a return to Saudi seem the likeliest to me

Zach Ferguson

Do you have any hope that wwe will stop being complacent after fans returning becomes the new normal again ?

Hi Sean! Any rumblings in regards to Wheeler YUTA’s tryout at the PC?

Graham Martin

Hey Sean hope you are well! As a big fan of pat mcafee on commentary..is there any plans for him to get back into the ring ? He’s probably one of the best celebrity guest performers I’ve ever seen.

Did Tommy End get out of his 90?

Jack Murphy

Any news or rumblings about David Benoit?

Brian The Dean

Is there any indication on what The Fiend could be doing at SS if he does show up or no?

Have you ever been worked by a source for reasons outside of a storyline? Curious as to how you deal with that, and what do you accept as someone working you vs someone lying/being an unreliable source

Andrew Stadelberger

Do you think Impact should do more to have Chris Bey Ace Austin and Josh Alexander as their new Styles Joe and Daniels to be the guys to focus on/always involved in storylines through out their Mens divisions(World Title,X division,Tag)

Will NXT be staying at the PC permanently?

Cameron Hutton

There hasn't been anyone holding onto the MITB briefcase for a long time since Carmella, unless you count Otis and then Miz. Is the current thinking to hotshot a cash-in or let it stew a bit?

anakinjmt

Hi srs, a big happy birthday to fightful, its been my favourite site pretty much the whole time its existed and its amazing to see how much its grown over the 5 years. My question is, fightful has gone from nothing to being the most sourced site on other wrestling pages (not to mention the success of fightful select), did you expect this growth in such a short time frame and what are the main things you feel have attributed to it?

Ben Williams

Are the ladies who have come out with Bobby Lashley & MVP standard extras, performance center talent or a mix of both?

Randy Peace

With news that the Pacquio could be hitting some legal bumps, any chance WWE change Summerslam plans if the fight is cancelled/postponed? (Longer show, less need for surprises, etc.)

Brandon P-H

MJF and Sammy hadn't yet been counted on to draw ratings by themselves until last night, usually they've been put with established guys like Jericho, now we can see how they do on their own. In that vein, is there anybody in AEW that hasn't been tested significantly as a ratings draw that you think should be given the chance to do so?

Jeff Ahmed

You had reported that some higher ups incuding vince would be scouting talent at nxt. Any word on how it went, particularily any reactions or imppresions made on vince himself? Thanks for all your hard work BTW.

e d

How do you decide what to share for free and what goes on Select?

Michael Branson

Have you heard of any WWE 2K22 developer concerns over the ever-shrinking roster?

Dev W.

Afternoon Sean, reading one of the Fightful articles today & Moose said he would like more crossover of talent between AEW & Impact, any reason why this hasn’t happened? Have a nice day ❤️

JJ Gyllenhaal

With Jay White in the states in August and AEW needing a big main event for Arthur Ashe Stadium… what’s the chances of Omega/White for the Open Weight title? Maybe a surprise post match appearance at the conclusion of All Out?

John Patrick

Are then any plans for Aliyah to be called up? It seems weird that she hasn’t been cut yet or is she viewed as an NXT lifer?

Do you think we’ll see some surprise debuts for AEW in July?

Gannon Barnes

So happy for you and the entire fightful teams well deserved succesd. Now that it’s self sufficient like you mentioned on post wwe dynamite pod, whats your next biggest one or two near term goals for it.

Are they going to keep Karrion Kross and Scarlett together?

Dustin

Seems the NJPW USA live shows are getting a bit of buzz do you think if these events are a success we’ll see one more big push to the American market for njpw?

brysoon mc

Who's your Pick for McGregor vs Poirier 3?

Dennis Kloc

What do you think the likelihood of Balor having a match at Summerslam is? Going to be at the show and I am really hoping he gets on the card.

Lord Zypher

Who do you think MJF eventually beats for the title?

Shawn Murray

You and Jeremy seem to have a great rapport, what are the chances of you and the distraction pals doing a one off NBA show?

Frankie Aguilera

Ratings are down, but money is up. Storylines range from great to garbage, sometimes on the same show. What is a good gauge to judge the success of a wrestling promotion today?

Tony Bologna

In way of talent being used?

Thoughts on Lashleys Summerslam opponent? Who would you like to see him go up against after the draft?

Is either Darby Allin or Ethan Page a little banged up? I thought that might be the reason why they pushed their coffin match back to Fyter Fest instead of Road Rager.

Tanner Lee

What happens to AEW DARK & AEW DARK Elevation, now that touring has restarted?

Apologies if this was asked & answered long ago, only been a subscriber a month or so, but is there any story or reasoning as to what happened with SCU? They were one of the hotter acts of early AEW, & eventually Sky was moved off, initially to be the singles guy while CD & Kaz tagged, but then they stopped appearing in BTE bits, Sky stopped appearing with them, and has now been shoehorned into Men of the Year, while Kaz wins 3rd prize in Christian look alike contests without CD. All just confusing.

kdk176

Do you do any voice work? Lol, just kidding. What’s your favorite TV show and why?

Nick Thomas

Has there ever been even a hint or glimpse of hope for Lucha Underground returning?

Brent Degenhardt

Any word on John Silver’s return to the ring?

Kyle Crane

Is it more fun reviewing a really bad raw or a good raw? It's much more fun watching a bad raw review in my opinion

David Hart

Any more news on the rumored heat between the EVPs in AEW?

I know NJPW was set to do US touring before the pandemic, so could you see New Japan Strong doing some touring?

Hello SRS or voice-over work fame, Are there any plans to have more women from NXT in the main roster in factions? Like they did with Riott Squad or PCB?

Daniel Ralda

With wwe's creative being what it is, how much faith do you have that they will build up someone to take that title off of Roman?

Ricardo Name TBD

With your report on Slammiversary having 2 surprises plus the reinvigoration of the knockouts division, is the reinvigoration separate from the 2 surprises you hinted at or should we expect one of those surprises to be an addition to the knockout division? Regardless, really looking forward to the show in a couple weeks.

Dobby_TheBrain

Any update on which Dark regulars will go on the road? Thinking like Killynn and Fuego in particular.

David

Any reason why Naomi doesn't get a push despite consistently trending and being quite over with the crowd

ARose Lab

How long do you think it'll be before another women's match main events Dynamite?

lj

I find it surprising that a company with such a low moral compass like WWE will not give Tessa Blanchard a chance. Is there more to Tessa's story that we just don't know? Also do you think if she were to take a sensitivity course on her own dime that it would help her cause?

Danny Valentin

Hi Sean. Was taken aback to see a tweet from Rob Black this morning about the return of XPW. He noted there will be a tourney in November with 8 entrants for the title, and hinted strongly the first entrant would be Marty Scurll. Any news on that front?

When AEW Elevation was announced the goal of the show was to include personality pieces and use Paul Wight to interview the talent. Any word as to why that has stopped the past couple of months?

Brian Bayless

They've got ALOT of Hiroshi (Horseshoe) Tanahashi footage in these NJPW US show promotional packages. Any idea if they plan to have him in the US for that or just coincidence. 2 minute advertisements are hard to predict lol

KingoftheNorth

Who is the first to win a title in AEW between Jungle Boy, Sammy, and MJF?

Jake Schwall

Do you think aew will sign thunder roses when she's free

Holland Carr

With Beckys return seemingly getting closer, what brand do you see her returning to and could she possibly double brand as a free agent? With Vince keeping couples together and draft being in August, should that factor in to where she eventually stays?

NicksKicks

Do you see any of the current UFC fighters ever being on the level of Conor McGregor or someone like Tito Ortiz from a drawing perspective.

Tyler Buuck

Hey Sean, wondering what your thoughts were on Jake Hager seemingly petitioning for a match with Fedor Emelianenko? Does it happen and is the fight a good fit for Fedor at this point in his career?

Alex Levy

With BR Live shutting down and AEW content moving to the Bleacher Report App, is there any news on what exactly is making the jump and if previously purchased content will still be available?

MarkyMark_MARK

I love how AEW presents the TNT title, it reminds me of how ECW presented the TV title. Do you think WWE can bring that kind of prestige back to the IC or US title? Or is it too far gone?

Jared T

With the 4th this weekend, pick a wrestler that you want behind the grill and what are they cooking for you? I'm assuming The Butcher is cutting the meats, but is he also the one cooking?🤣🤣 Have a good weekend SRS, Glad to see how excited you seem to be to be getting back on the road.

Ray Callahan Jr

Do you think Seth Rollins will now start a babyface turn since fans are returning or do you think WWE will try to get more over as a heel?

Bryant Heath

Will the AEW and IMPACT working relationship continue once Kenny Omega has dropped the IMPACT World Championship with AEW stars appearing at IMPACT tapings?

Do you know if there are any plans now for Eva to wrestle!? She’s said many times recently that she’s gonna be wrestling, are they waiting for the fans to come back so she can have the heat when stepping in the ring?

Manny Carvalho Santos

Which talent from NJPW do you think will make their debut at Slammiversary?

With AEW now going back on the road have you heard anything about plans to sign or bring along some of the talent that have been on Dark and Elevation. Fuego, Kilynn King, Willow Nightingale and Jora Johl would all be great pick ups for them Keep up the good work man

Reece Hayes

With AEW headed back on the road, has there been any discussions about the people on the traveling roster for live shows vs who might be on the “at home” roster for dark and elevation?

Do you foresee any character changes now that crowds are coming back?

Jmazz

Can you confirm if AEW's roster will be reduced slightly now that they're back on the road for their shows? Seems like AEW really did a lot for most of the DARK wrestlers who weren't signed but were getting exposure on Daily's Place during the pandemic.

Sheila Antonio

Are there any plans in place for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships or is the general idea that Vince will phase it out of existence?

Taylor Moore

For ROH's Best in the World PPV on 11 July, are you expecting any surprise appearances, like maybe Chris Hero or someone else?

Paul Anthony Moss

Do you think the sudden surge of WWE releases has anything to do with the confidence of what they have in the Performance Center since we have seen a lot new signees getting TV Time on NXT? Ex: Carmelo Hayes T Baxter E Lopez

Rashawn Crawford

How do you think the recent run of mass release will affect WWE bringing in new signings? Are they making room for new signees or slowing down on bringing in new talent entirely?

Hunner Gaskins

I have to self isolate for a week. I've never watched ecw. What's the best 3 ecw ppvs of all time? I need something to keep me occupied

Hey Sean I wanted to get your opinion on wrestlers using social media to further storylines and rivalries. Or do you think social media should be just used for their real-life events in real life lives and we just keep kayfabe off of it, your thoughts.

Anthony R

Is the plan to turn Baron Corbin face now? Also, is there a plan for a King of the Ring tournament involving Shinsuke?

Will

Any idea why Dani Jordan hasn't fully signed with AEW yet? She is pretty good and has a decent character.

Reid Greenspan

Have you heard anything more about the new stages for Raw and SmackDown?

Jason Allonby

Just leaving as we speak to drive to Lexington KY from Omaha NE wish us luck for the holiday! Question is who do you see as the wrestling Chris Paul? Always been an all time great but never won the big one yet?

Matt Payne

Do you feel that it would be financially beneficial in the long run for WWE to do away with their TV deals when they expire, put everything on the network and introduce a higher paid tier for live TV? Then less reliance on keeping network executives happy.

Macho Man

Any update on MJF last night?

Brian Streleckis

Will Cardi B or another celebrity host Summerslam

Shawn Garner

What are you looking forward to the most now that WWE and AEW are going back on the road?

Tyler Woodward

Any updates on the status of Keith Lee?
