Where is Britt Baker? Are the rumors true that she I done with AEW?

She's taking some time off, but no other context is needed. She is not done with AEW. I'd imagine if many people understood a number of the things she'd experienced outside the ring, they'd probably give her more credit for how the last couple of years had went. Outside of that, she's been working on the Cobra Kai appearance.

This is may be a silly question but any reason why AEW hasn’t added a 90 day no compete clause to their contracts (or is there a reason why they don’t) Seems like maaaaybe it may be time to do so

Originally, AEW had not even planned on releasing talent. There were a number of wrestlers like Melanie Cruise, Awesome Kong and others that AEW continue to pay even when they weren't being used or couldn't wrestle. 90 day non-competes are worked into WWE deals, and they're barely non-competes. You're still with the company during that period and getting paid.

Hey Sean any update on Speedball Mike Bailey? Last I remember he was expected to sign with AEW any idea when he will debut?

He was expected to go to AEW pretty well from the time he'd reached his last dates with AEW. There are rumors internally that he is in the process of procuring his visa with AEW.
