With AEW now on Tubi, do you see a long-term partnership with Fox?

I COULD see one. They did have some discussions about the Shockwave show that never ended up happening, but a deal didn't come together. However, it wouldn't be for Shockwave now because Tony Khan has completely tabled that name after a conversation with Billy Corgan regarding NWA using it first. If Fox sees the value in AEW programming, they will bring it aboard. I know that they had a sour taste in their mouth after the WWE deal, and the MLW lawsuit that emerged from it.

if willow had not got hurt would mercedes had come back when she did

Mercedes was scheduled to come back soon, even if it wasn't going to be the Owen Hart Tournament. As one would expect with an injury to a champion, Willow getting hurt changed a lot of plans.

I noticed in a previous question about Adam Cole you said something in regards to “revitalizing AEW games once Austin Creed comes on board” is it that good of a chance The New Day come to AEW? Would be over the moon if that happened

Everyone that I talk to in All Elite Wrestling seems to think it's a forgone conclusion. They have a ton of people pushing for them. It seems like a no brainer. Everyone likes them, everyone in wrestling knows who they are. There are fresh matches, and natural history to build, and they're one of the greatest tag teams of all-time.
