☂- Tony Khan tells Greg Oliver it's tough to manage a huge roster, but hey have a really great one, and it's a very exciting one to add to.

💦- Mike Johnson asks about a potential streaming deal for AEW. Tony Khan says he's been asked that several times today, and he thinks that would be great for the wrestling world and fans, and it makes sense.
♒- Tony Khan tells Chris Mueller he's leaving things up to a lot of the wrestlers if they want to use the Who We Are songs as their official themes. He says Scorpio Sky was a name interested in doing that.
💧- Tony Khan confirms they're looking at some bigger venues for AEW PPVs, as evidenced with T-Mobile Arena. Said in this case it made sense.

൲- Tony Khan tells me that when Kenny Omega comes back, they're more likely to do a trios title. He thinks that helps bolster that division with Kenny Omega back in the fold. It certainly seems like Trios Titles are coming to AEW in the future.

🅠- Adam Cole vs. Hangman Page is planned to go on last at AEW Revolution, per Tony Khan to Will Washington.

🐈- They will be recording some video game content at AEW Dark with the audience. They've recorded some voiceovers lately.
🥀- Tony Khan tells Izzy he loves having Cody Rhodes, but he's done two All Out shows without Cody. They're confident they can continue to put on great shows without him.
