3) WWE Interested In AEW Star (Part 2)
According to Dave Meltzer on Twitter, MJF is under contract with AEW until late 2024. So even though WWE is interested, they wouldn’t be able to potentially poach him for a few years still.
Here is what Meltzer said:
He’s under contract for a long time (late 2024). But you’d have to be completely brainless about talent not to be interested in him.
My Take:
- Looks like this is a rumor to check back on in another year or two. Still, interesting to see if WWE makes a big play for him in a few years.
2) Scrapped WWE Podcast Plans
Johnny Gargano recently started streaming on Twitch. During his first stream, he revealed that WWE scrapped plans for a podcast that involved himself and Adam Cole.
Gargano says that this would have been a re-watch of the Attitude Era. Here is what he said:
He is very happy that I’m doing [Twitch] now. We recorded a pilot for a podcast that we hosted. We were going to host an Attitude Era podcast. It was going to be under the WWE banner.
We recorded a pilot and it was with a couple of guests; Malcolm Bivens and Dakota Kai. Those were our two first guests. There is a podcast somewhere out there that has been recorded with us four talking about the Attitude Era.
Obviously, it didn’t happen, I think due to the transition from the Network to Peacock. It was a podcast where you could watch along with episodes from the Attitude Era. It was very fun. Who knows, maybe one day.”
My Take:
- This would have been awesome. Too bad that it didn’t happen.
