Dave Meltzer and I are back with Wrestling Observer Radio going over all the news in the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and a few things that have happened since it came out.
We discussed the following:
Vince McMahon’s spinal surgery
The latest on Kenny Omega, Hangman Page, and the Young Bucks
AEW Dynamite ratings
Updates on Jade Cargill, Jamie Hayter, Jim Ross and Thunder Rosa
AEW Collision
Thoughts on the Bam Bam Bigelow Dark Side of the Ring episode
Jamie Hayter is unlikely for AEW’s Wembley Stadium show in August.
Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there’s been talk that Hayter will not be able to compete at All In.
“We don’t have much on Jamie Hayter but there has been at least talk she won’t make it back for Wembley, which obviously would be the goal if possible,” he wrote.
Fightful additionally reported on Friday that Hayter would not only be unable to return by All In on August 27, but a return before the end of 2023 would be “unexpected”, writing that “things seem worse with her injury than anticipated”.
Hayter was the AEW Women’s Champion when she lost the title to Toni Storm at Double or Nothing back in May, working a match that only lasted a few minutes. She hasn’t appeared on television since. Toni Storm has remained champion since then, most recently defending the title against Taya Valkyrie at Battle of the Belts earlier this month.
The most important stretch in AEW’s history kicks off this Sunday.
The next few months will see the debut of the new Collision show, the imminent return of CM Punk, Forbidden Door II, and the biggest show they’ve ever run with All In at Wembley Stadium. The little promotion that could is suddenly the massive promotion that did.
This is a company with a tremendous reach and a big financial commitment from its television partners. Come June, there will be at least seven hours of AEW programming every week. That doesn’t even count Ring of Honor, AEW All Access, or anything else that makes its way to television. Now that they’re enormous — something a company that could wind up nearly filling Wembley Stadium certainly is — the expectations increase exponentially. It’s up to them to build on this momentum and use the extra resources to take the company to the next level. The roster is ready. There’s enough talent to make all of this work and do something historic. The future of AEW has never been brighter.
The future is limitless, but this card is just…fine? It’s probably the most skippable AEW show in recent memory. It’s a card designed to bridge the gap until the next big thing — the debut of Collision — before AEW fully opens up the engines leading into a summer full of tentpole events. I doubt this will reach the heights of some previous shows (though AEW has shocked me before), but I don’t think anyone is going to be asking for their money back either.
Let’s preview Sunday’s Double or Nothing (7:30 PM Eastern pre-show/8 PM Eastern main card on PPV) and see what shakes out.
Pre-show: The Firm (Ethan Page & The Gunns) vs. Hook & The Hardys for the rights to Page’s contract
There are two wolves in every man. The one that knows a nine-match PPV on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend is a bad idea, and the one that books this card anyway. Wasn’t there just a cinematic match with all these people? Don’t those usually mean the end of feuds? I am confused and I am tired.
I do love some of the individual pieces here. Austin & Colten Gunn had the hardest entrance ever in AEW when they came out to 50 Cent’s “Many Men” Page has been entertaining and under-appreciated for almost as long as I’ve watched wrestling. And now Hook has been sent to replace the injured Isiah Kassidy/Brother Zay. He is very entertaining and is a future star, but Hook is Hook and the people sure do love El Diablo Guapo.
Let’s keep this one short: Hook comes out, gets his stuff in, the Hardys fire up the nostalgia machine, and the crowd gets sent home happy.
Prediction: Hook & the Hardys
Adam Cole vs. Chris Jericho in an unsanctioned match
This is a great way for Cole to make his return to pay-per-view, and the usual criticism of Jericho inserting himself to steal someone’s shine is misguided here. The number one bay bay is coming back from a frighteningly serious series of concussions, and someone like Jericho who doesn’t wrestle the standard AEW super indie style is as safe and stable as an opponent gets.
An unsanctioned match might seem scary for someone coming off of brain injury, but these types of matches are typically so well choreographed and planned that there should be significantly less risk.
Babyface Adam Cole sure is something. The crowd has always loved him, and now they get to show him just how deep that love is. If he’s next up for MJF, count me as excited. Two of the best talkers in the company getting a chance to build a program should be something else. MJF really needs someone who can hang with him on the mic after his Herculean efforts carrying the wet paper bag that is the four pillars feud by his lonesome. Can’t wait.
Prediction: Adam Cole
The Elite (The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega & Hangman Page) vs. Blackpool Combat Club (Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley & Bryan Danielson) in an Anarchy in the Arena match
“Higher levels, bigger devils.”
Yet another all-time line from the god Jon Moxley and an appropriately biblical one for what promises to be a divine affair. The first Anarchy in the Arena bout was one of the best matches in AEW history as the visuals and moments will be used in video packages long after the current generation of AEW has hung up their boots. This, along with Blood and Guts, are their signature matches — their versions of Hell In A Cell and TLC.
These are matches that get busted out for the big stars with the big stakes, and come with appropriately massive expectations. If there was ever a group that can live up to those expectations, it’s these eight cats.
Your mileage may vary on the winding, exhausting tale of The Elite and their will they/won’t they friendship (relationship? lovership?). And I get it. It’s a lot! It’s overwrought and hackneyed at times, but man does the live crowd want it. They just eat it up. The building came apart when Page’s music hit a couple of weeks ago. The reunion of four of the people responsible for the existence of the company is objectively a big deal, regardless of whether or not it’s a bit tiresome.
At times, and perhaps too often, The Elite are meta caricatures of wrestling. The Blackpool Combat Club is the other side of that. Gritty, real-ass wrestlers. No wink-wink behind the curtain stuff. Just four dudes that are going to wallop you, stretch you, and make you regret stepping in the ring with them. All of them have their roles and play them perfectly, none more so than Danielson who remains a flawless pro wrestler. This is him at his best. He’s a blessing every second he’s on-screen, a beacon that lights the edges of the world.
Prediction: Blackpool Combat Club
Orange Cassidy defends the AEW International title in a 21-man Blackjack battle royal
Cassidy’s run with the International Championship is the best title reign in AEW history. Week after week, he’s had good to great matches with every type of wrestler you can imagine. Play the underdog against Big Bill? Done. Match Bandido move for move and spot for spot? No problem. Cassidy is so far beyond the “just a gimmick” moniker that he never deserved. He made this title matter and made it the workhorse title that it desperately needed to be.
Having mid-card titles like this are so important. They, obviously, add needed stakes to both one-off matches and feuds, but also serve to elevate the World title. The big prize should not be defended on TV regularly and should be saved for moments that truly deserve the highest stakes. When it is defended, it should feel like the proper spectacle it is.
As good as Cassidy has been, this feels like a safe way to take the title off him. Since winning the title in early October, Cassidy has wrestled in over 40 matches with most of them incredibly physical. It’s easy to think that his gimmick means he’s taking it easy, but he absolutely is not. Even standard AEW matches are taxing and grueling. Doing that weekly for seven months takes a huge toll. It’s time for a much-deserved break for the hardest-working man in AEW.
Prediction: Not Orange Cassidy
AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter defends against Toni Storm
Since January, Hayter has wrestled in three singles matches which seems low for the top woman in the company. Sure, there were some visa issues that complicated things, but only three matches for a woman this good and that the crowd can’t get enough of is far, far too few.
Too often, she’s been getting second or even third billing as the champion. Too often, she’s standing beside Britt Baker during promos without saying much. Too often, the story of The Outcasts doing nothing of substance gets more TV time than the woman who should be the face of the division. And that’s just it: Jamie Hayter has never been presented as the true face of the division. She’s an afterthought in everyone else’s stories and doesn’t have her own. A star this bright should never be dimmed this much.
Hayter’s injury makes this whole situation murkier. If she’s going to miss time, it makes all the sense in the world to put the title on Storm. It gives The Outcasts something to do outside of just spray painting everyone and loving green. It would give time for Hayter rest up for a huge return at All In later this summer.
Prediction: Toni Storm wins the title
TNT Champion Wardlow defends against Christian Cage in a ladder match
What a difference a year makes. Coming out of last year’s Double or Nothing, Wardlow was it, baby. No one was hotter than the War Daddy. Now? He’s a dryer on the fluff setting. Lukewarm would be giving him too much credit. As is often the case, it’s through no fault of his own. The inconsistent booking and constant devaluing of the TNT title have created this perfect cocktail of mediocrity and mild reactions.
Cage is probably the best pure, old-school heel in AEW. (Yes, this includes MJF because people want to like him.) No one wants to like Cage and no one even wants to tolerate him. He knows exactly how to get the reactions he wants. Like an expert harpist, he plucks the right strings at the exact right times. He knows which notes will resonate the most, and plays them at just the right tempo. From his words to his expertly curated selection of turtlenecks and jackets, he’s exactly the right person to start helping Wardlow get his momentum back and become someone who matters in AEW.
Prediction: Wardlow retains
TBS Champion Jade Cargill defends against Taya Valkyrie
A question that’s been rolling around in my ever-smoothing brain: is Cargill’s undefeated streak losing its luster? She still feels unstoppable, but it’s starting to feel routine. Never in my life could I imagine a world where a spectacle like Cargill feels like a regular wrestler. She hasn’t done anything meaningful since her program with Red Velvet in January. Prior to that, there was a bit of something with Willow Nightingale and Athena, but that was a year ago.
Two meaningful programs in a calendar year aren’t enough. A winning streak alone isn’t enough to be compelling, especially if the audience doesn’t believe she can actually lose. The presentation is still top shelf, but everything else is not. Sooner or later, there needs to be something for the audience to invest in or else it’s just empty calories.
There is no reason for squash matches this far into an undefeated streak. If this holding pattern is a result of waiting for Kris Stalander to come back healthy, that is just as inexcusable. AEW has never struck me as a place allergic to creative risks, so why not take the chance to make someone in one night? Whoever breaks Jade’s streak is made. Are there really no other in-house options to do just that?
If you squint, you can convince yourself there’s a story here, but certainly not enough to warrant the end of a winning streak. Their first match was nothing special, or even good, but it at least planted the seeds for an actual program with backstory. No shade meant to Valkyrie but her being the one to end the winning streak would be a fantastic disappointment.
Prediction: Jade Cargill retains
AEW Tag Team Champions FTR defend against Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal with Mark Briscoe as guest referee
Once again, and as always, god bless Jeff Jarrett. This 55-year-old carnie still has the best facials in all of wrestling. Whenever he hits a big move or gets away with something, he looks like a four-year-old that found a really cool bug at the park that they can’t wait to show you. And, of course, he found a way to work his wife (Karen Jarrett) into this angle. He’s been playing the same hits for years, and they still sound as good as ever. He’s so close to assembling the Jeff Jarrett set of infinity rings. Never change, Jeff. Never grow old.
This match probably won’t be a classic like we’ve come to expect from big FTR matches, but it should be a beautiful, overwrought mess. Ref bumps, interference galore, maybe a missed three count or two, you name it. But there will not be a title change. At least not as part of a program that is best suited for the 9:00 hour of Dynamite, not a pay-per-view.
Prediction: FTR retains
AEW World Champion MJF defends against Sammy Guevara, “Jungle Boy” Jack Perry and Darby Allin in a four-way
By orders of magnitude, this is the weakest main event in AEW PPV history. MJF has done everything he could to create something compelling here, but ultimately the other three “pillars” just aren’t up to the task. The more we put the pillars under a microscope, the more they wilt. The only one that has truly flourished and become exactly what he claims to be is MJF. The generational talent label has never been more apt or more deserved. He’s the only true top of the card talent. The rest are just lost in his gravity — completely overshadowed and outclassed by someone who is superior in every way.
The worst thing for Sammy, Darby, and Jungle Jack was the pillars moniker. It came out of nowhere and was immediately met with mockery. These guys are the future foundation of the company? These are the guys being spoken of in the same breath as the four pillars of Heaven? It was a bold statement that did nothing for any of them, much like this feud hasn’t. It’s only served as a reminder of what they aren’t.
They have been running the same promos for a month now. I need this, I love this, I gave up everything for this, etc. If that’s all there is to say, there really isn’t anything to say. Rinse and repeat babyface promos aren’t enough. Generic ‘this is all I’ve dreamed about’ promos aren’t enough. This has been so flat that I can’t help but wonder if there’s a post-match angle planned, maybe something big to close the show and propel AEW full speed ahead towards Collision.
AEW head Tony Khan addressed the media Thursday on a conference call to promote Double or Nothing, address questions about a potential brand split, future announcements for Collision, and more.
During the hour-long discussion, Khan was not asked about CM Punk, nor did he bring him up by name.
Here are notes from the call with the full audio linked below:
When asked about a potential brand split, Khan wouldn’t give a firm answer on what will happen when Collision debuts. He said he wants fans to wonder what is going to happen with the roster and is excited to eventually follow up on that question.
When asked about the television deal for Collision, Khan said the length of the deal for the new show is the same as they currently have for Dynamite and Rampage, but didn’t disclose any financials. He said Warner Bros Discovery reached out to them with the idea of adding another show.
Regarding running Collision on Saturdays, Khan said Saturday nights are the best event nights for live shows and selling tickets. He said they have to do something special and make it destination viewing and believes they have plans in place to do so.
When asked about Taya Valkyrie, Khan responded that she is very experienced, a great wrestler, and great in the locker room. He also said she is the biggest challenge Jade Cargill has faced yet.
When asked about possibly going up against the NFL’s Saturday games and with PPVs on Sundays, Khan said he generally doesn’t want to do it and it would be very tough competition. However, he sounded as though he understands it will happen. He also mentioned that AEW is on the radar of NFL executives, who have noticed the ratings they bring in.
Asked for an update on Jamie Hayter, Khan would not give a clear answer regarding if she will wrestle on the pay-per-view. He mentioned that she was not cleared for a match recently but otherwise avoided giving an answer.
Khan said that Sabu won’t be a regular on AEW programming but could make future guest appearances after Double or Nothing. He mentioned that he and his father saw Sabu in the ECW Arena when Tony was 13 years old and that his father texted him after seeing Sabu on Dynamite Wednesday.
Khan praised Jungle Boy, Sammy Guevara, MJF, and Darby Allin as well as the Four Pillars storyline they have been involved with.
Asked about possible future announcements regarding Collision, Khan said he is definitely being “intentionally secret” about where all of this is going. This was the closest anyone came to asking about Punk.
Khan commented on WWE NXT Battleground happening on the same night as Double or Nothing. He said he’s always eager to compete so long as it’s done with ethical standards. Khan also said he doesn’t consider them running a show on the same night as an unethical move but “the other side” has acted unethically in the past.
Khan said that with the addition of Collision, he wants more people helping out with creative. He mentioned QT Marshall, Pat Buck, Jerry Lynn, Dean Malenko, Madison Rayne, Sarah Stock, BJ Whitmer, and Will Washington as those who contribute from a creative perspective. He also said he’s been leaning on Bryan Danielson more lately.
Khan said he is confident they will get wrestlers from Stardom for Forbidden Door.
Khan was asked if Collision means AEW will be running more pay-per-views and responded that it’s something they could consider but only if it made sense regarding their deal with Warner Bros Discovery.
Regarding a potential Sting retirement match, Khan said Sting can wrestle as long as he wants to. Sting hasn’t given him a date on when he will retire. He praised what Sting brings to the company. Khan called Sting’s retirement match the biggest moment in wrestling that’s out there right now.
Asked about possible commentators for AEW Collision, Khan complimented Veda Scott and said he’s got some names in mind that people might find surprising.
He said he suggested Willow Nightingale for the NJPW Strong Women’s title tournament. Khan praised her performances in Ring of Honor and AEW.
In response to a question on Mercedes Mone’s injury possibly changing plans for Forbidden Door, Khan said that Mone was probably the odds-on favorite to win the tournament. He said only he and Mone know about any conversations for the June PPV.
Khan did not provide broadcast details for All In, nor information about All Out the following week.
He confirmed that AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation being canceled is due to the new agreement with Warner Bros Discovery.
Khan said he doesn’t consider ROH a feeder system, specifically mentioning the promotion’s champions as top stars. Fans can expect a bigger episode of ROH TV this week as well.
AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter is not medically cleared to perform tonight.
Tony Khan announced on Wednesday afternoon that Hayter has been pulled from her scheduled match on Dynamite. She had originally been scheduled to team with Hikaru Shida and Britt Baker against all three members of the Outcasts.
Shida and Baker will now take on Ruby Soho and Toni Storm in a two-on-two tag match.
Hayter had to be helped to the back on the April 19 Dynamite. Toni Storm focused on Hayter’s shoulder during a post match attack and the AEW Women’s Champion hasn’t wrestled since.
The TNT title will be on the line on next Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite as Powerhouse Hobbs will defend against former champion Wardlow.
After Hobbs defeated Silas Young on Wednesday’s show in an open challenge, Wardlow made his surprise return and destroyed Hobbs’ new car, flipping it over with a forklift. The two eventually brawled in the arena before Wardlow threw Aaron Solo through a table.
It was Wardlow’s first appearance since the March 8th Dynamite when Hobbs defeated him for the title and aligned with QT Marshall.
Hometown hero Britt Baker will return to Pittsburgh to team with AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter against rivals Ruby Soho & Toni Storm as their intense feud continues.
On Wednesday, Baker and Hayter came out to aid Skye Blue and Riho after Storm and Soho defeated them and attacked them after the match, joined by Saraya. A brawl ensued afterward.
Here’s the current lineup for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs defends against Wardlow
Jamie Hayter & Britt Baker vs. Ruby Soho & Toni Storm
A match for the AEW Women’s Championship has been made for the April 5 edition of Dynamite.
Former champion Rhio will challenge current champion Jamie Hayter. The match was announced during Monday’s AEW Dark: Elevation. On commentary, it was mentioned that Riho is currently the number one contender for the championship.
Since returning to action in late February, Riho has been picking up wins. On the March 1 edition of Dynamite, she defeated Toni Storm. She’s also defeated the likes of Emi Sakura, Nyla Rose, and Diamante, who she wrestled and defeated on Elevation.
The only other match announced for the April 5 edition of Dynamite is Ricky Starks facing Juice Robinson. After Robinson blindsided Starks on a recent edition of Dynamite, Starks called out Robinson to challenge him to a match this past Friday on Rampage. Robinson refused, saying he wouldn’t do it in Missouri and instead would wrestle in New York.
Here is the updated lineup for the April 5 edition of Dynamite:
AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter wasn’t on Dynamite this week due to a situation with her visa.
On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Hayter is in the process of renewing her visa. Meltzer noted that Hayter had to return to the United Kingdom to get her visa renewed but will be back pretty soon.
Jamie Hayter — okay, so she wasn’t on the show this week. She’ll be back pretty soon. But what happened is she had to return to England for visa reasons, to get her visa renewed and everything like that, which is something that happens. Like all of the foreign talent in WWE from time to time, they might disappear for a couple of weeks every couple of years for this. So it’s all worked out and it’s all fine, but I’m not sure which week she’ll be back, but she’s not there right now.
Hayter has been AEW Women’s World Champion since winning the title from Toni Storm at Full Gear last November. At Revolution earlier this month, Hayter retained her title against Saraya and Ruby Soho in a three-way match. Soho turned heel after the match, aligning with Saraya and Storm against Hayter and Britt Baker.
Former AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida will get another shot at the title after successfully defending her Regina Di WAVE title against The Bunny on Friday’s Rampage.
Shida got the victory after having to deal with both Bunny and Penelope Ford, hitting a meteora on the outside of the ring and a Michinoku driver on the inside of the ring for a near fall. She then followed up with her Katana finisher to get the pin.
Current AEW Women’s Champion Jamie Hayter decreed on Wednesday that she would defend the title against the winner. She came out from the back after the match and jaw-jacked with Shida from the ramp.
While the two have faced off in a four-way and tag team matches in AEW, this will be their first-ever singles match. No date was announced for the bout.
Shida held the title for over a year starting in May 2020. After losing it in May 2021, she eventually got a shot at regaining it in a four-way for the interim version at September’s All Out. She got a one-on-one opportunity at the interim version in November, but was unsuccessful in unseating then-champion Toni Storm.
This will be Hayter’s first title defense since defeating Storm for the title at last month’s Full Gear.

Topics include: William Regal/AEW situation rundown, MJF/Ricky Starks promo exchange, FTR vs The Acclaimed, and sooo much more!
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter vs. Saraya and a mystery partner is set for the January 11 AEW Dynamite.
The match was set up in a backstage promo segment on this week’s Dynamite. Tony Schiavone was interviewing Saraya when Baker interrupted and offered Saraya tickets to the January 11 event at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. Baker said that Saraya was welcome to watch her perform from the crowd, or could find a partner and face Baker and Hayter in a tag match.
Saraya accepted the match challenge, then continued the angle on social media:
Saraya defeated Baker at Full Gear last month in singles competition in her first match in five years.
AEW will return to the Los Angeles area for the first time since June when they ran the Forum for Dynamite, then Ontario, California for Rampage on June 1 and June 3. Both Dynamite and Rampage will be taped on January 11.
We had a pretty noteworthy episode of AEW Dynamite unfold today.
Topics include: The Elite in Chicago dividing the crowd, a major announcement regarding the AEW Women’s division, the Blackpool Combat Club falling apart, and much more!
Tune in as Denise Salcedo breaks down the show on Speak Now Pro Wrestling.
Jamie Hayter is officially the AEW Women’s World Champion after the company announced that Thunder Rosa had relinquished the championship.
On Wednesday’s Dynamite, Renee Paquette announced that due to the injuries to Thunder Rosa and the uncertainty regarding when she will return, AEW have asked Rosa to forfeit the women’s title. Paquette then introduced Hayter as the new AEW Women’s World Champion.
Rosa responded to the news on Twitter, thanking AEW and her fans.
“Thank you #ThunderArmy for all the support and @aew for being there for me,” she wrote. “Dream-like moments happened in this run, and this is not how I wanted to lose the championship, but you deserve a present champion; on to the next chapter.”
Rosa announced shortly before All Out that she would not be able to defend the title against Toni Storm due to a back injury. Storm ended up winning the match at All Out, which was changed to a four-way for the interim championship between Storm, Hayter, Britt Baker, and Hikaru Shida.
After All Out, Hayter and Storm continued to feud. At Full Gear this past Saturday, Hayter won the interim championship from Storm with the help of Baker. Commentators mentioned on Wednesday’s show that Storm’s reign as interim champion will retroactively be recognized as a result of Rosa relinquishing the championship.
Jamie Hayter is the new interim AEW Women’s World Champion.
Hayter defeated Toni Storm at Saturday’s Full Gear event in Newark, New Jersey. The finish of the match had both Rebel and Britt Baker interfere, with Baker attempting to unfasten a turnbuckle in the corner. Storm sent Hayter into Baker. However, Storm ended up being sent into the exposed turnbuckle, allowing Hayter to hit the Hayt-breaker for the win.
This ends Storm’s run as interim champion. She won the championship on September 4, defeating Baker, Hayter, and Hikaru Shida in a four-way. The linear champion, Thunder Rosa, is currently out of action with a back injury.
After losing the interim championship match at Full Gear, Hayter continued the feud with Storm, with Storm telling the story that she and Hayter had lived in the same house during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Hayter started to ignore her once she arrived in AEW, with Storm saying that that Hayter had changed.
An interim AEW Women’s World Championship match is set for the Full Gear pay-per-view on Saturday, November 19.
In a new match announced on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Toni Storm will put her interim AEW Women’s World title on the line against Jamie Hayter at Full Gear.
The Full Gear bout will be the second singles meeting this year between Storm and Hayter, as the pair last squared off in May in the first round of the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament. Storm defeated Hayter in a first round match on the May 11 Dynamite.
Three title matches, plus the finals of an AEW World title eliminator tournament are now set for Full Gear. Here is the announced lineup to this point:
AEW Full Gear, Saturday, November 19 on pay-per-view —
AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. MJF
Interim AEW Women’s World Championship: Toni Storm (c) vs. Jamie Hayter
AEW World Tag Team Championship: The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens) (c) vs. Swerve In Our Glory (Swerve Strickland & Keith Lee)
