Apart from being the wife of AEW's Brian Cage, Melissa Santos is well known as an announcer in the wrestling business, and she has participated inside the ring as a wrestler too. Her stint on the Lucha Underground season 3 saw her teaming up with Ray Fenix for a tag team match. Also, she was involved in the 2012 relaunch of Women of Wrestling as La Niña, one-half of the tag team "Tropical Storm."

Melissa Santos met Brian Cage by crossing paths in their wrestling careers. She tied the knot with her husband, Brian Cage, on July 11, 2019. They have a daughter together.

Unfortunately, Brian Cage has not been featured much on All Elite Wrestling.

Although Frankie Kazarian has had a strong start at AEW with great matches, he is currently much less on the frontline these days due to newer stars being given precedence. Initially, in his All Elite run, he had even won the Tag Team Championship and Scorpio Sky as part of SCU.

Meanwhile, Traci Brooks retired from wrestling after making a name for herself through her distinguished run at TNA (now IMPACT Wrestling). She met Frankie Kazarian on the promotion itself when she acted as his manager. One thing led to another, and the couple got on January 7, 2010. In October/November 2012, They have a son together.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.

Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
