[Sean Ross Sapp] Sources in AEW told us that one of the reasons Serena has been gone from AEW TV is a heated disagreement with AEW managemnt. Serena has told people close to her that she'd sustained an injury, and that's why she's missed time.

I just miss seeing her matches. I know she’s not the best talker and all that, but I enjoyed the little feud between her and Shida. That preshow match between her and Riho was one of my favorites a couple years ago.

The one thing I constantly criticize AEW on is the women's division is treated like an after thought. I know a lot of the wrestlers are banged up right now, but they have enough to have more stories going and more than one match per show.

she’d accuse Tony Khan and AEW management of cutting the time for her matches without telling her until they got to the ring.

They considered her being upset about this disrespect, is this not disrespect towards the talent itself? Look, I'm thankful for Tony and his dad putting up their billions to start a second company with enough power to replace WCW, but he's a lot like Vince in some regards, and that's not necessarily a compliment.

Yeah like in 99% of cases, TK should be telling the producers what the time frames are per segments, and the producers and talent are supposed to get together prior to air time and lay shit out.

So it could be the producers not telling her before hand, or her not going and asking. Either one seems fucky cause you meet with your producer in the hours before the show to figure out what you're doing that night, so you should know your time right then to plan things out with your opponent. Should be a zero percent chance of a wrestler hitting the ring and not knowing their time unless if there was a last-minute-while-shes-doing-her-entrance change.
