Any updates on Serena Deeb? It's been over a year since we last saw her on tv.

Nope. I haven't heard that she's injured. She wrestled on the independents in December and March, but I haven't heard anything outside of that. She's hanging out at home and collecting a check by the looks of things. I've not heard any major discussions about bringing her back. I know at one point years ago she thought her time was getting cut from her matches, but that was ages ago.

Any talk of doing a PPV in Mexico ?

There are always discussions of possibilities of PPV locations, but I haven't heard that it's in the plans right now. They seem really happy taking AEW Dynamite there and making it a big show. I definitely think Forbidden Door becomes a show that eventually ends up happening in Mexico, maybe even before one would happen in Japan because of the time zone differences. I think WWE could definitely do a big one there, though.

With AEW most likely putting on a show going against Saudimania do you think they will attempt to make that weekend “mania-like” and encourage Indy shows to be happening all week with third-party conventions and make it a destination event for fans around the country?

Well, I don't think they'll need to try that hard to encourage indie shows or conventions. Starrcast will want to do business with AEW again, Wrestlecon will almost certainly want to run there since they aren't running Saudi, and tons of indie promoters constantly hit me up about the plans that AEW has for WrestleMania season. I do not think that it will be a stadium show, but I think that AEW Revolution will probably run Saturday night of Mania week.
