Columnist John McMullen provided some insight on AEW's new television deal with Turner Networks and TNT:
Context of #AEWonTNT AEW TV Deal -- Platform is amazing and this is an unprecedented deal for a start-up. Confirmed from a source on the television side there are no rights fees but as we have been saying here for weeks that should not have been expected. It's being treated like a sports property so production fees are there and a "great" advertising split for AEW. Remember, it took @VinceMcMahon nearly 20 years of producing highly-rated television before he got a somewhatsignificant rights deal. from Viacom at the turn of the century.The monster deal took over 35 years. TNA/Impact once had Hulk Hogan, Sting and Randy Savage and couldn't get this kind of platform. It's an amazing deal that those in @AEWrestling are ecstatic about. If it comes across as flat to some that's because they were expecting rights fees due to some shoddy reporting. Right now #AEW is set up like old #WWE where PPV numbers and advertising will be significantto growth. #WWE remains idiot-proof because of TV deal.

I think the statement applies to Taker as well
If it's a concussion issue, won't be surprised if Alexa retires altogether

Ric Flair has been rushed to a hospital in the Atlanta area after suffering a “very serious” medical emergency, according to TMZ. Thus far, the report is light on specifics other than the aforementioned serious designation, and the site says they have not heard back from Flair’s reps yet.
Flair survived a medical scare in 2017 in which he spent 10 days on life support in a medically induced coma. He kicked out of that pin-fall right before the three count.
Hopefully, the Nature Boy emerges from this latest scare as strongly as he did the last time.
