In this interview Tommaso Ciampa talks about joining AEW: “It’s something I’ve been leaning towards for quite some time. I don’t know that I can say there’s one sole factor that led to it or caused it. I think it’s one of those things when your contract is coming to an end, you naturally have discussions. If I wrestled in the 90s, I’d wanna be a part of ECW… Early 2000’s, you wanna be a part of Ring of Honor. I was lucky I got to do that a little bit. 2010’s, I think for me at least, I wanted to be part of NXT Black and Gold. And when I looked at the landscape of professional wrestling in the 2020’s… the answer was AEW, man. That’s what I want to be a part of.”
Braun Strowman gives a hospital update: “Update on my leg. Again I can’t express how much the prayers and love for some many around the old mean to me. Y’all have helped get me through this. Still a ways to go but there everyday. Pain is finally starting to come down. Still got a lot of battle to go but I think we are over the hump and should get easier every hour. I love you all very very much.”

MJF says “bad blood” doesn’t exist between wrestling companies: “If people knew how much professional wrestling I’ve consumed in the 29 years I’ve been on this planet, they would probably vomit. It’s insane, but that’s how you become the best of the best. That’s how I become MJF. That’s how I become a household name when I’ve never been in the ‘big promotion’ right? As far as Adam Copeland, Jon Moxley, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes. these guys aren’t turning around and saying ‘F that other company.’ They’re not in real life. I’m sorry. They’re just looking for a place to hang their hat.”
