Hi Sean. Have you ever heard of AEW showing interest in signing Dijak? I think he'd be a really fun fit.

Signing him? Not particularly, because if they did, he would be signed. I know that for a while, AEW was very adamant about not using a ton of former WWE talent as soon as they became available. Dijak has a lot of friends there and people who would love for him to come in, and was invited and welcomed backstage at previous events.

He's keeping an incredibly busy indie schedule, working almost 100 matches over the last year. Re-establishing himself on the indies, in CMLL and MLW is a great approach for him right now.

Fantasy book Kross returning to WWE

Obviously if for some reason he came back, you could maximize that moment, and give him a nice win upon returning. I think that what he was doing is the optimal way to utilize him. He's a fantastic character that helps other characters get over. I would love to see him going from being the Devil's Advocate style character to one who just tends to stir up shit without any true motivation. You could argue that the Sami Zayn feud was him helping "motivate" Zayn in character.

I think that Kross manipulating many people, and narrowly escaping a big comeuppance would be really good, and then he runs into all of them in the Royal Rumble. Or the people that he's encouraged to go heel.

I don't think anything was wrong with how he was booked. He was a very valuable character.

Have you heard of Chris Jericho is planning to write another book? I loved his other biography’s and would love to hear about his time in AEW.

I haven't outright heard that he was, but I'd ne shocked if he didn't. His first book is one of the best wrestling books I've ever read. When Jericho is unable to wrestle, I would imagine that he'll have to fulfill his creativity in as many different ways as possible. Considering this isn't a foreign concept for him, I would expect another Jericho book. It's been like eight years since last book, which is his longest gap he's had. He probably has enough for another two books, honestly.
