How's Andrades work been received backstage so far in AEW? He seems in great shape and in good spirits lately but this instant big push could rub some people in AEW the wrong way, no?

Very well. His work has been good, and so far, there have been no issues. Last time, there were issues with him fighting co-workers, even after specifically being asked not to. AEW also had thought he was going to re-sign until shortly before he left, but Tony Khan kept things very amicable because he knew there was a real possibility that Andrade could end up working there again. He saw big things in Andrade upon bringing him back.

Any word on how long they expect Samoa Joe to be out?

Everything I've heard is that it is week to week with the company deciding to be cautious of it. Despite it being mentioned as a non contact injury, we were told he was in concussion protocol. Hook has taken over leading the Opps in Samoa Joe's absence.

Do you think aj Lee shows up at chamber or competes there

I was honestly surprised that she didn't appear at the Royal Rumble to further her feud with Becky Lynch. I would be even more surprised if she didn't appear at Elimination Chamber. It's in Chicago and they have to get the ball rolling on the singles feud at this point. I would have had her at the Royal Rumble, but you don't always get what you want.(Note: this was scheduled prior to Raw)
