Was the rumors I read not to long ago about Aew intergenerational tag titles just a rumor?

I've not specifically heard about these title belts themselves from people in AEW, but I know that they had a bunch of title belts that were just already made, so it's possible. I have heard there are no current plans in doing those titles.

Is there any interest in Lena Kross from AEW?

She made a good impression from what I understood. She's done the same with TNA. If TNA maintains heavy interest in her, it will put the pressure on other places to sign her. If they don't, there isn't as much of an incentive. But she's made some really great waves in some important places.

I’m very interested in the business side of wrestling. How are Indy wrestlers paid? I know it varies based on talent, but I have heard people claim it’s as low as $50 match.

It's not "as low as" $50. Sometimes it's lower or nonexistent. There are hundreds of indie wrestlers that work for free every weekend. Hundreds more that work for less than $50. If you're a former WWE talent, you're getting a much better rate, but it always varies. That's if you get a good, reputable, honest promoter, though. Every indie wrestler should be looking at additional revenue streams, carpooling, and getting as much experience as possible.
