WWE and AEW have clearly both been talking with her. Obviously this has gone on
with AEW for months if not a year and she’s never signed yet. There was a lot of talk
within wrestling of her on this week’s Dynamite which she wasn’t on.

He continued:

We do know that the expectation is she will be in AEW fairly soon, but until a contract
signing is confirmed, anything can happen.

matches were selected based on other criteria. No pattern emerged

based on teams or even relations, as Gilroy’s Cortez brothers (Isaiah
and Elijah) had their matches separated even though they typically
compete back-to-back at 126 and 132.
Poway (CA) sent five wrestlers to the finals and crowned two champs to
win the Doc Buchanan Tournament last weekend.

Poway’s five finalists paced the field with No. 8 Paul Kelly (138) being
the star for his squad, authoring two upsets en route to donning the
cowboy hat. In the semis, Kelly mauled No. 5 Jace Roller from Bixby,
Oklahoma, 18-3. For top honors, Kelly downed No. 4 Drew Gorman
(Buford, Georgia), 4-2. Kelly did not place at Doc B last year and lost to
Roller in the process.

At 175, No. 16 Angelo Posada proved the rankings true with a 3-1
victory over St. Edward’s No. 17 Ty Miller to improve on last year’s
runner-up showing. Settling for silver for Poway were No. 13 Arseni
Kikiniou (106), No. 8 Edwin Sierra (113), and No. 10 Robert Platt (215).
Poway’s other award winners were No. 13 Laird Root with the bronze at
150. Billy Townson was fourth at 126 and Elias Navida (honorable
mention) was fifth at 132.

To say St. Edward’s lone champ was unexpected would be an

understatement. Ryan Bennett (144) had a tough go of things at the
PowerAde tournament and dropped out of the rankings. His finals
opponent was No. 4 Joseph Toscano, who was Buchanan, California’s
only finalist. Bennett came out ahead, 2-1, when the buzzer sounded.

Ty Miller was second at 175 for the Ohio power. Taking bronze back
home were No. 8 Karson Brown (120), No. 13 Kade Brown (138), and
No. 12 Jarrel Miller (190). No. 15 Ethan Timar was fourth at 113 as was
Nate Gregory at 285. Lucan O’Brien was fifth at 144 and honorable
mention Timmy Mazur landed in the sixth spot at 106.
