If time has been added to Jericho's deal, what do you think may be the cause of that? I don't seem to recall the guy ever being hurt. Can time be added to your deal if you take time off for other projects too?

The time that was taken off last year. I don't know who instigated or suggested the time off, but that's where the deal is effectively extended from. Every contract is different, and they're becoming less uniform by the day. Wrestlers are getting more leverage than ever, so I would expect this to be a point of contention in some future deals.

Any updates on Zoey Stark?

She's been rehabbing and has been at the WWE Performance Center, which isn't out of the ordinary. That's where the majority of talent prepare at and do their physical therapy after injuries, considering a large percentage of them live in Orlando. I wouldn't expect her back for another few months.

With the war going on in Middle East, is there a possibility that the next wwe event could end up take place somewhere else and not in Saudi Arabia?

Nope. The event is taking place in Saudi Arabia. There are no plans to host it elsewhere. Anything is possible, but it would take a lot more for the event to not happen there. It's going to be in Saudi Arabia. There is too much money involved for WWE to move it, and if they haven't already extended the deal with Saudi, they will want to.
