AEW insiders clarified there is no specific policy for WrestleMania week, emphasizing that factors like scheduling conflicts, current booking plans, or the wrestler’s standing in the company may affect availability. They also referenced similar changes for Chris Jericho’s cruise in January, illustrating the fluid nature of such decisions.
