on the AEW podcast...

Cody: "Anna Jay going to be a huge part of Year 2. Red Velvet - I don't even know if Red Velvet works here yet?"

Aubrey: "She does."

Cody: "Ok, great! I hate that you know that. She's on 'pay to appear', right?"

Aubrey: "I don't know which tier."

The actual scoop is Jeff decides who gets the "is All Elite" graphic. We're all learning things this morning.

now they meandering thru tiers of AEW contracts, Aubrey explaining "if you work indies, you're now jeopardy of not working Dynamite or Dark. We don't want that COVID shit, get out of here."

someone who is paid to cover these things is going to get a nice article out of this

tier 0 comes is pay per match with first right of refusal (and Tony bonuses people too good)

tier 1 is salaried, there are "tier 2, tier 3, tier 4, and then tier Jericho"

there's other things and Cody earnestly talking about his senate plans (guess he'll be going after the Purdue/Ossoff seat if he thought this out, which nah) but now I'm getting a lot of quote tweets shocked that Jericho and like random indie guy have different rules so i'm done.
