Welcome to Select Answers, a short feature that provides some of the answers to questions that were posed to Sean Ross Sapp in the most recent Fightful Weekly Q&A Podcast. The show drops every week on Fightful Select for subscribers.

Truth/Ron Killings is one of the most important people to successfully switch from WWE to TNA and back. Even though he's still a performer, do you see him going into the TNA HoF before the WWE HoF?

That is an interesting question, and one that could be a race to "when." I think if Killings ever announces his retirement is coming (like his hero, John Cena), TNA will induct him while still active. They still have people like AJ Styles, Hardy Boyz, Mickie James, Beautiful People, and a ton of others to add when they have the time. But Killings won an NWA World Title twice, Tag Titles three times, and gave TNA a familiar talent in his prime that people knew deserved better in WWE.

Was Tessa Blanchard returning to TNA the final nail in the coffin so to speak for Jordynne Grace leaving? Or was she pretty much always WWE bound either way?

She was heading to WWE regardless. They officially made their offer after the Tessa signing unfolded, but it was a forgone conclusion at that point. WWE had not exactly made it a secret.

Are the Bucks and Omega still EVP with AEW? The Bucks in particular seem very disconnected from AEW.

Yes, they still have their EVP role. They haven't been backstage or at shows much at all recently, and when they visit, they've left well before the shows air. They had planned to take a lengthy absence whenever they left.
