3) Big NXT Match Scrapped
WALTER was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, WALTER revealed that there were plans for him to face Finn Balor prior to the Pandemic.
Here is what WALTER said about Balor:
“We were supposed to wrestle before the pandemic started, but we got interrupted. It’s a match I would like to have. The circumstances, whether he is NXT champion or whether I will be NXT UK champion, I don’t know, but it is a match I would like to have happen.”
My Take:
- I would definitely still love to see that match at some point down the road. Sign me up.
2) Scrapped Podcast For WWE Star
AJ Styles was recently interviewed on the A Couple in with Cody Jinks podcast. During this, Styles revealed the scrapped plans that he had to start a podcast. This came after WWE banned Superstars from using third-party applications.
Here is what Styles said:
Vince said we couldn’t do it anymore, which is understandable.
We were taking his product and making money off of it when he’s paying us to do a job. I get it and understand it. There are certain things that played into it.
I am a gamer, but as far as Twitch, I had to let it go by the wayside.
I was hoping to branch out. I started off playing games on Mixer, which ended up being sold, and I went to Twitch. I was amazed at how huge the community was. It was great. By the time I got to Twitch, it was more or less me talking for two hours rather than playing games.
I was literally hoping to do a live podcast. That was the direction I was hoping to go.
My Take:
- That definitely sucks for Styles. Hopefully he gets to do something like that at some point in the future.
