For years, Vince wanted people to think that Kevin Dunn wasn't replaceable, but Lee Fitting took over and everything is running okay. Who was the plan if Lee Fitting wasn't available, or was there?

Well, I can't speak to specifically if Lee Fitting wasn't available, but the hope internally for a long time was Mike Mansury. Then Mike Mansury went to All Elite Wrestling and that wasn't an option. When Vince McMahon retired, we got a number of messages saying they thought that Kevin Dunn would wrap up imminently. The fact that he spent another year and a half surprised a lot of people, but WWE was looking for potential follow ups once Vince McMahon retired the first time.

Enzo Amore said in an interview in 2025 that AEW had no interest in him and passed on him. What happened there? Where there talks?

I feel like I heard that he actually went to Jacksonville at some point in the fall of 2022. I don't know how serious any talks were, but there was a conversation. He's actually stepped up the number of matches he's worked since then, because he wasn't doing a lot prior to that. He works the indies pretty regularly now.

Has Vince McMahon been around at all since the lawsuit dropped?

If by around, you mean WWE, no. He's not secretly running creative. He's not been backstage whatsoever. He wasn't discussed for John Cena's last match. I haven't heard anything about anyone consulting him for creative, or any connection in that regard.
