>Bryan Danielson is cleared to wrestle again and AEW is slowly building to his return match. This is expected to be his retirement run, but there is no specific timetable on the length.
>Blake Monroe has expressed to fans that she is “frustrated” with her current career path. This has been exacerbated by the fact that she is dating Austin Gunn, who repeatedly told her to stick with AEW over WWE.
>Speaking of Gunns, Billy Gunn is returning to WWE and has been specifically penciled in for a “prominent” spot at Mania. There are no hard feelings with AEW and we’re told the door is always open for him to return.
>WWE wants to sign independent wrestler Cowpoke Paul, who appeared on AEW TV last week. He’d been scouted by the WWEID program, but his appearance on AEW convinced several “prominent names” to sign him immediately.
>CM Punk and AJ Lee were both extremely happy with her return match and have been praised backstage for the match. There is talk of AJ winning the women’s royal rumble this year.
>Nobody seems to know exactly what’s going on with Britt Baker. It’s 100% true that she pissed off a lot of the locker room and made a lot of enemies in her last year. She lost Tony Schiavone, who really stood up for her in the early days on AEW. She lost Hayter, Toni Storm, Saraya, and even Rebel. By the end she was just hanging around with Adam Cole, and when that ended she would mostly sit by herself outside the arena, show up as late as possible, and leave early.
