Are there any updates on Jericho’s contract status?

He's still under AEW contract and is listed on the AEW roster. They are very particular over who appears on their online roster. There have been some that have been moved to per appearance deals like Peter Avalon who are still on the roster page, but if they're let go or leave, they're off the page. The exception was Hobbs, just until he dropped the Trios Title on TV.

Any word on Jake Doyle's injury? What kind of time line would a torn bicep look like?

Yeah, it's real, unfortunate, and a torn bicep. He knew immediately. I was told that he was at least relieved he's in a company where he's earning a salary and able to make a living while injured. He'll be out until at least the Spring. He seemed to be in good spirits all things considered after the initial shock of such a rough and horribly timed injury. A few months out is likely.

Do you expect Brock Lesnar have a major role at SummerSlam this year since it in Minnesota?

That was the belief within WWE. I don't know if it's going to be another retirement angle, but Brock Lesnar is planned for the show as of the start of the year. I don't think that comes as much of a surprise considering that's typically a show they would have him work in the years past as well.
