3) Update On The Brock Lesnar-AEW Rumors
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is no truth to the rumors of Brock Lesnar potentially signing with AEW.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Regarding Brock Lesnar rumors of him coming here, there is nothing to them at all at this moment. I never want to say nothing because nobody can predict the future. But Tony Khan has never even had a business discussion with Lesnar and those close to Lesnar said the stories of Lesnar secretly signing with AEW were 100 percent inaccurate.
My Take:
- Glad this is cleared up as I never believed Brock would go to AEW.
2) Backstage Note On Harry Smith Signing With WWE
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided some backstage details about Harry Smith signing with WWE,
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Harry Smith, who has been working dark matches as a tag team with Austin Theory, actually signed with the company in April but everyone was told to keep it quiet until he debuted. He was told to stop working indie dates. John Laurinaitis recruited him heavily. He had met with Tony Khan at a party and Jim Ross has always been a big proponent of his. The original idea was for the NXT U.K. brand and be the top U.K. babyface and feud with Walter over the title, but COVID changed all that. Laurinaitis pushed hard for him to be on the main roster and Vince wanted him on Smackdown.
My Take:
- Interesting to hear that Vince wants him on Smackdown. I am excited to see what happens with him in the future.
