      I don’t know where he intends to go, or if he intends to go anywhere, as he might freelance. But, he’s in his mid-30s now, if he wanted to try his luck in AEW or WWE this would be the time and I expect both they’ll both make a play for him.

      I read something on Bluesky a week or two ago that said he was WWE bound, but I don’t recall the source, could have just been some asshole on the internet. (aren’t we all?)
