My question is about tonight's AEW. All weekend, the big thing was Tony Khan wore a neck brace to make it look legit. But if he was fine to not only do the draft for three days, but was also able to do media for it, why is he too hurt to be there tonight? Did he have a setback? 

Trying to explain why Tony Khan does what he does makes my head hurt.

Jade Cargill - could WWE be doing any better with the way she is being used & developed?   

- She signed, wasn't rushed to TV or into a meaningless program.  

- Made appearances on TV/PLE to add intrigue as to where she'd land. 

- Had a solid debut at the Rumble, a showcase match at WM40 and now is paired with a battle tested, trusted talent in Bianca Belair. 

She was smartly kept out of the Women's EC.  They knew better (talking to you, Tony) than to book themselves into a corner and put her in a match she'd have to win or risk killing her mystique.

She's getting to work with Bianca, The Kabuki Warriors, and other veterans she can learn from and help her develop.  Obviously, she needs to hold up her end, but I can't think of anything to tweak her presentation.

Thoughts?

I agree 100 percent. They are taking their time with Jade and it’s showing results.

Sami Zayn - again, great presentation with him the last couple of years.  My thought with Sami is this:  much my like Ricky Steamboat, I feel Sami shines best and brightest when he's in chase mode.  Not to say that he should immediately drop the IC title,  but perhaps a future loss to someone like Bronson Reed or Chad Gable, putting him right back into chase mode.  He does such an amazing job at being the underdog, nails it every time. 

He is great on the chase, for sure.  I am sure he will do it again in the future.  I hope that he has a good run now and we can visit it later.

Great job guys, I love the site, especially Q an A. My question is about part timers in WWE. Do you think more top talent should be part timers? I noticed Roman and Brock always seemed to be more over because they aren't over exposed and when they have matches, they feel more important. I think that if more of the top guys were held off tv more, it gives a chance to get under card guys over and when they advertise the big names, they get a bump in ratings. Obviously,  you can't do this with every big name at once but what if they cycle through the top guys?

I think they are already kind of doing that.  When they don’t have a program for someone, they get a break.  I think it’s a smart idea.  It gives the talent a break and it doesn’t overexpose them.

Now that we have the announcement that Wrestlemania will be in Las Vegas in 2025, what are the odds that they are finally going to be in Minneapolis in 2026?   It feels like the last few years Minneapolis is always near the top of the list, but we always seem to be taking second place.   

Minnesota wants it, for sure.  They are in play for next year but it all comes down to what TKO wants at this point.  They have a different vision than Vince McMahon did.
