All Elite Wrestling CEO Tony Khan recently had an hour-long interaction with the media ahead of the Full Gear PPV. In it, he briefly spoke about Omega. He stated that he was hoping for the 41-year-old to make his return to the company soon. Khan said it “would help them a lot and would be a great thing for AEW.”

32-year-old Kylie Rae had a short short run in All Elite Wrestling. Apart from the Jacksonville-based company, she has wrestled in Reality of Wrestling, TNA, NWA Wrestling, and more.
It was recently reported that she had signed with WWE ID, the Stamford-based company's new indie wrestling development program. The program's goal is to provide a platform for up-and-coming independent wrestlers. Furthermore, it will allow the opportunity for these names to potentially become future WWE stars.

#1. Renee Paquette on how Jon Moxley's recent run has affected their relationship
Renee Paquette and Jon Moxley have been married for several years. The latter is the leader of The Death Riders. This faction has been wreaking havoc in AEW for the past few weeks.
On a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Paquette opened up on how her husband's recent actions have affected their relationship. She stated she mostly stays away from him when they are at work.
"I don’t know. I kind of just steer clear. The truth of it is, when Jon and I go to work, we’ve always been like this, he does his job and I do my job. We’ve always been like that. I honestly don’t even see him most of the day," said the 39-year-old.
Jon Moxley will defend the AEW World Championship against Orange Cassidy at Full Gear.
