If you are doing media, you have to answer the questions asked. Any AEW guy doing an interview is going to be asked about the biggest wrestling organization in the world. So I can't blame him for this response to Helwani's question..

How many years is it going to take for you to learn what an interview is?

Regarding ESPN/WWE... If we operate under the scenario it's true, what do you expect Disney/ESPN to do? Come out and say "we signed a bad deal, but we can't get out of it now so we're not going to renew it when it expires?" They'll either not say anything or issue an official statement to deny it.

If we operate under the scenario it's false, what do you expect Disney/ESPN to do? They'll either go on official record to say it's false or they'll ignore it.

They are a publicly traded company, the contract is worth $325 million a year, even if it were true, they'd never voluntarily and officially admit during it that they screwed it up because that would hurt their stock price. And no executive would ever do that either unless they wanted to be fired.

There’s 2 ways to answer an interview question the right way and the wrong way - promoting all in by rambling about wwe is certainly a choice…
When Roman was on espn before wm he talked about punk not a different company…
Maybe will should have focused on omega and London (promoting the event which is what media is about)

The espn package is a disaster anyways - wwe is just part of the loss in play for it. And no one is paying for it in the summer when it’s no sports it’s essentially for cbb and cfb out of market
