Chris Jericho AEW return

Chris Jericho is back home in AEW. As much as we love to boo it, anyway, Jericho is in AEW and notably for conspiracy theorists and close listeners to this pod, he's not in WWE.

Kaz

It feels like AEW would be better off without him, WWE you know could get better use out of him, but it's still intriguing for sure.

Vince McMahon WWE return rumors

I promise you we don't need him [Vince McMahon] back in WWE. I promise you we don't need him back. And I promise you that they wouldn't be bringing—I mean, there's no reason to be bringing him back.

Kaz

The only way people would accept that [Vince McMahon returning] is if he comes on TV and he tells everyone, 'I'm dying.' He's like, 'I have one year left to live or something like that.'

Chris Jericho contract status

He was supposedly a free agent at the end of last year, at the new year, and then there were also stories that AEW was exercising some injury time on its contract, so that just put everything into flux.

Braun Breaker injury update

The subtext here is that Braun Breaker, who is long penciled into Seth's opponent, is clearly not going to be healed up from his hernia injury in time for WrestleMania, which is why they had to go left here.

Shawn Michaels interview

This week on 7pm in Brooklyn, Carmelo Anthony, myself and Melo are sitting down with the one and only Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.

NXT Stand and Deliver scheduling

I think it's a little bit of a mistake [to hold NXT Stand and Deliver away from WrestleMania weekend]. I love being able to go to NXT.
