Alex Hunt asked if Tony Khan would allow Sting to appear at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, as Lex Luger had expressed interest in seeing him there. Khan said hes not sure, as the topic didnt come up during his last conversation with Sting, and his focus right now is on Dynasty.
Dominic DeAngelo asked about the spike bat spot during the match between Jon Moxley and Adam Copeland.
