Thekla vs. Chris Statlander feud

I don't need you to be afraid of me. I need you to be afraid of what you're going to have to do to keep me down.

Chris Statlander

Chris, you're afraid of Thekla. You might be more than a woman, but you are much less than Thekla.

AEW blood/violence controversy

They might need to release two versions. We need an R-rated version and a regular version. Do they do that with horror movies? I feel like... I don't know. We'll see.

Swerve Strickland's standing in AEW

Swerve Strickland talks about AEW like John Cena would talk about WWE. Like, he is a guy who really made himself something bigger than life in the company.

Mark Davis return/Aussie Open reunion

I'm not going to say it. I'm going to keep my comments to myself. But come on, there's a tremendous shape. And Mark Davis, I'm so glad he's back from his injury and he's working so well. In the back of my mind, I'm hoping that eventually we get a reunion with Kyle Fletcher again and we get a little Aussie Open or something.

Mina Shirakawa entrance music

I was at the show where they changed her [Mina Shirakawa's] music when she came out for her entrance. And then everybody was so confused. So then when she won, they played her old music again. And that was on Tony Khan, fixing and learning in the moment and understanding his audience.

Viva Van contract status

Viva Van is signed to a lower-end deal, Ring of Honor contract.
