Big Show is still under contract to the company and has been doing some community outreach appearances for them. He had taken some time off to film a recurring role for the Syfy series Happy in New York City and will likely pop up when creative has something for him.
Any chance of CM Punk working AEW Double or Nothing as a surprise?
Punk is currently booked to do commentary on an MMA show that night. If he's there, he won't be in Vegas.
Rich Swann announced yesterday he was going to sign a new Impact deal. Are their deals guaranteed money like WWE at this point?
It's possible some of them are, but most of the deals we have heard of only provide a certain pay scale per booking with no guarantee of dates. Some of the main event talents might get guarantees, but the vast majority of the roster gets paid by the booking and the contract locked in their exclusivity with Impact to prevent them from going to WWE.

Rich Swann's new Impact Wrestling deal will not likely impact (pun intended) his MLW appearances.

It is never going to be about you," said Booker. "One of the reasons why I am still here today is I never really cared about what the script was. Give it to me and let me go out and get it done. If it was something that I didn’t disagree with, I was going to go out there and get it done. If I had disagreed with it, I would have said, 'Hey, I don’t agree with this. Let’s change this because I am not doing it this way.' Then they would change it, and that is the way business was always been done with me. I can’t say that with everybody, but with me, that was how it was done. I never looked at (wrestling) as anything but entertainment. I never looked at it like it was anything but storylines. Sasha Banks has had a lot of success. How many women get in the business that never win?"
Booker went on to compare Sasha to Ember Moon, who works hard, isn't in a top spot, yet doesn't complain about her position.
Booker continued, "Sasha Banks has had more life-changing moments than so many that have walked into this business. She is made. She can do anything she wants as far as this business goes from what she has gotten from this business. So, I don’t understand it. I don’t understand a lot of this stuff that goes on these days. We are in a totally different world right now as far as the wrestling business goes. Hey man, for me, it was all about the money and taking care of my family. Create moments and memories along the way be able to touch people to change their lives."

Going into this week's RAW, it was reported that The Revival had turned down new 5 year contracts, worth $500,000 per year. We've noted how Dawson and Wilder requested their releases back in January after being unhappy with how they were used
