Where's Hiromu Takahashi? Is he expected to sign with WWE at any point?
He's expected to sign with WWE if he hasn't already. AEW sources say he isn't coming in there, and there isn't a lot of other places he would be going unless for some reason he just decided to do CMLL full time, which wouldn't make much sense. I would think he would go to NXT first.
Of Keith Lee, Britt baker and Toni storm, which one do you think we will see return first?
If I had to pick, I'd say Keith Lee. He was discussed for a return earlier this year, but I don't know what happened there. I don't think Britt Baker is injured or anything, but haven't heard her discussed. Toni Storm will not be wrestling again in 2026 and likely well into 2027.
TNA ticket sales for its post Slammiversary shows have been looking absolutely brutal. (the San Antonio shows for example which i have front row tickets for are at like 400 tix sold) Have you heard any internal discussions about this, if the company is surprised, and if they have plans to try to rectify this with more promotion, etc?
Well, the creative changes are a plan to rectify this. As far as the promotional efforts, every so often they bring in new people to help start efforts to do that. They got rid of a lot of them in 2025, however. The claim internally is that they're profitable, but moving more tickets will go a long way. I think that the best way to do that, is show that they're going to have a great in-ring product.
