Any reactions from people in AEW regarding the news of Paramount winning the bid to buy WBD? What do they expect to happen to AEW when the TV and media rights are up?

I haven't heard anything in an official capacity, but regardless of what deal got approved, they weren't seeming concerned about a cancelation or anything. By the time whatever deal gets finalized, AEW will likely be in their last "guaranteed" year of their deal anyway, and they always operate on the side of caution. I don't know if WWE has exclusivity, but from that possible perspective, Paramount acquiring WBD is the better outcome.

Hey Sean! do you think Stephanie McMahon will be the sole-woman inductee into the HOF this year? would that be a good or bad thing either way? thanks!

Yes, I do. They usually have a quota that they meet and often don't expand past a tag team, a woman, etc. That's the way they've done it for years. Maybe this will be the year that it changes, but I don't expect them to.

Are there anymore unannounced signings by AEW?

Yes, but I don't think they're on full-time, salaried deals. Maybe some tiered deals.
