- Paul Wight confirmed in an interview with Joey Franchize that he signed a new AEW contract earlier this year:
- Thank you. Let’s thank Tony Khan because Tony Khan still sees something in me, so I’m grateful for that. It helps when your boss likes you, it kind of helps. He’s one of those bosses that understands what you’ve been through, and your vision. He’s like ‘Yeah, we’re going to make this happen. I want to see this happen, too.’ So you’re like ‘Yeah, that’s good.’ Because this is a tough business, but I’m very grateful, I’m very happy, and that’s why I’m here to kick butt.
- While speaking with Undisputed, MJF praised Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship reign:
- He’s definitely a weird guy. But a lot of our fan base are weird people–so they can relate. They watch that dude wrestle some of the best in the world every single week, and as much as it pains me to say it, Darby’s title reign is going down as one of the greatest of all-time. It was so unique. People talk about fighting champions–man, you can’t take that away for him. Now was that stupid? Did he burn the candle at both ends, and by the time he wrestled me, he was half-dead? Yeah, it was dumb as sh*t. But I’ll give the kid credit. He has no brains, but he has heart.
- Nyla Rose tweeted back at someone who claimed that she’s getting paid for “doing nothing” in AEW:
- Dumbest f***ing take of all time…
- I don train, and make countless sacrifices of mind and body to sit back and do nothing…I WANT to wrestle, I WANT to work, I WANT to give my all to all the amazing fans the world over.
- YOU may be happy to be a lazy POS and take advantage of people for ‘nothing’ but that’s never been nor ever will be me.
- F***ing clown
