SRS reported that Roderick Strong signed a multi-year extension earlier this year so he’ll only be part of an Undisputed Era reunion if released. Well, he was the 4th and later member on NXT, he can be the same on AEW Or he could be a member of Mount Rushmore as he was for a bit as PWG Champ (and honestly, one of the best “characters” Roddy played).

Update on Gargano from fightful. The fact he signed a short extension and not a new deal is pretty telling about him being out the door. it is 5 days before AEW's winter is coming also. Man I hope Candice goes with him to as she has tons to offer and no chance will WWE do much with her when she returns. If she did leave, AEW would very likely want her. The Young Bucks adore her and have in the past said that if the Elite had a woman, it'd be her. That said, I imagine negotiations will heat up. The week extension doesn't necessarily mean anyone's leaving yet, even if I do admit that Gargano's largely run out of anything to do in NXT, so I figure that if he does stay, it'd probably have to come with some concrete main roster promises.

Hmm. Popular speculation is that Kairi is done with WWE and was released from her contract. This adds fuel to the fire.

Man I hope so,she has tons to offer still and perhaps a part time thing with AEW would be in the works for her,heck with Sarray returning to Japan and probably not coming back and Asuka probably not high priority for Vince and Co now I'd love to see them all go to AEW and kill it!

Sarray has said she's coming back to America. Also while I wouldn't be entirely shocked if Kairi ever went to AEW, I don't think it's happening any time soon, due to all the travel restrictions, and her being pretty vocal about not wanting to be separated from her husband for long periods of time. Which would happen if she had to travel back and forth from Japan and the United States. I also think Asuka will likely be a pretty high priority for Vince and folk when she returns from injury. Also in the minority here, but I really do not want to see Kairi/Sarray/etc in AEW right now since they have some pretty notable flaws, like how Britt Baker is pretty much the only woman who actually matters and regularly gets screentime, to the point of where she's quickly approaching go away heat for me.

If WWE does indeed let Kairi go then she is absoloutley going back to Stardom to IMO close out her career.
And the likeliness becomes next to nil she pops up in AEW because AEW works with the rival TJPW.
But KAIRI AND MAYU TOGETHER AGAIN YES PLEASE! everyone is turning on poor Mayu she needs a sister back.

With AEW and New Japan looking to only get closer in their working relationship, and NJPW and Stardom being sister promotions, I wonder where that leaves things. DDT isn't nearly the rival to NJPW that TJPW is to Stardom so that doesn't seem to play much into things either.
AEW does seem to be scaling back on the joshi guest workers in general, so that doesn't make things likely. But you never know in wrestling

Japan was said to be lifting most restrictions of travel between the US this month. Not sure if that's happened yet or not but that was the tentative idea. Which would make travel much easier. If Kairi goes back to STARDOM that'd be moot though

And with the new variant out there now, I don't see that changing any time soon.

In a live stream interview with fans and Emi Sakura Rossy said Stardom has no relationship with AEW and they’re not really interested in working with them. I don’t think it’s impossible in the future but given their philosophy and goals I don’t particularly see them going for that anytime soon.

Stardom didn't want Riho working AEW shows when she was with them, which lead to her leaving when her contract was up

It's amazing how this guy looks younger with a grey beard than he does clean shaven with black hair.

The grey hair's making me realize he looks more like a giant LeVar Burton than I ever would have noticed before. Hair, beard, and nose all look pretty similar.
