3) Update On Jeff Jarrett’s Status With WWE
It was rumored this week that Jeff Jarett had been let go from his backstage role with WWE. According to Lucha Libre Online, this is not true and Jarrett is still with WWE but in a non-exclusive role.
Here is what the site wrote:
“Michael Morales Torres from Lucha Libre Online confirms that Jeff Jarrett is currently working with WWE, but in a non exclusive deal [emphasis ours] with the company, despite the news posted by WhatCulture mentioning that Jarrett is not working with WWE at all. Jeff Jarrett is indeed working with WWE, but in an non exclusive deal. Both parties were happy with the decision. This allows Jeff Jarrett to work his podcast, My World with Jeff Jarrett on Ad Free Shows, among other wrestling related projects he’s silently working on.”
My Take:
- Not much to add here as I don’t know exactly what Jarrett does in WWE. Glad this has been cleared up a bit more though.
2) Several NXT Stars Work Dark Matches
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, several NXT Superstars were backstage at Smackdown and worked dark matches.
Here is what Johnson wrote:
Backstage at WWE Friday Night Smackdown:
*Aaliyah.
*Odyssey Jones.
*Austin Theory.
*Indi Hartwell.
My Take:
- It feels like WWE is going to be calling up Odyssey Jones soon. He has been wrestling several dark matches as of late, which seems like a big hint at his future.
