The Shawn Michaels NXT Vengeance Day media call is underway shortly. Live streaming is prohibited, but I'll have notes in this thread.
I asked Shawn Michaels about protections in place for talent in NXT that could be impressionable or vulnerable. He said WWE can always do better, and the information in the lawsuit is unfortunate. He says there are some protections in place, but they will always try to do better in NXT, and it's something very important to him

Assuming MJF is still in Vegas, I'd personally be shocked if he doesn't wrestle tonight. However, I was shocked he didn't do the meet and greet either. I'll go into the possibilities of a "work" in the thread below
MJF is a worker and one of the best ones. If he's "working" it didn't start out that way. I'm sure in any situation and scenario there are elements of that he's weighed would utilize accordingly as it best suits him or whatever it is he may be doing.

Tony Khan is asked about MJF by Kenny McIntosh.
Tony Khan says wrestling thrives when off-screen conflict sometimes carries over on-screen. For MJF, this storyline has been an opportunity to air some real life grievances
Tony Khan tells Jon Alba he believes that the AEW/Warner Bros. Discovery relationship is going to be a good one, and they're throwing a party for AEW in LA. He says some of the top execs in the company are coming to hang out with AEW next week.

Cody Rhodes put over all three individual champions as being the top people in the company, and the championships themselves as being the most important things in AEW. If it matters to the characters on-screen, it is more likely to matter to the people watching the screen!
Hangman Page has already met singles success and wants to remain a tag team with Kenny Omega because the tag championships are important. Almost everyone on the roster has a tag team partner because the titles are a treasure worth seeking.

I have a feature called Enhancement Stories that runs on Fightful. I speak to wrestlers about some of their experiences coming up and doing extra work for various companies.
One of them was talking to Dr. Britt Baker DMD about working against Nia Jax fightful.com/wrestling/excl…
The first I ever did was with @gangrel13. As a teen, I didn't realize he'd wrestled dozens of matches in WWF, much less a DECADE PRIOR against The Big Bossman!
If you all don't wanna read goofy or sometimes completely trivial articles about your interests, pro wrestling probably isn't for you and Fightful FOR SURE isn't for you. I spent my Friday interviewing a woman whose minivan was the focal point of a feud
I asked Big E if Kevin Owens' official New Day name was Big O Wangston

Jon Moxley is headed up next.
Moxley says Renee doesn't wanna get anywhere near his corner right now and she has an extensive non-compete. It wouldn't surprise him to see her pop up and present. She was there tonight, but couldn't appear on camera.

Tony Khan says the FTW title is going to be treated much different than any other titles in AEW. They haven't totally established it, but there's a lot in store.
Tony Khan says he agrees that the Buy In is a chance for more people to see a match, and he trusts in Britt Baker and Big Swole to help sell PPVs. He loves the wrestling economy because it's the only one where people will complain about getting something for free instead of PPV
