Maybe one of the most disappointing AEW signings from WWE has to be that of Shawn Spears better
known in WWE as Tye Dillinger.
Beside his feud with Cody Rhodes which coined him the nickname “The Chairman” because
of this...
Shawn Spears’ AEW run has been very lacklustre to say the least.
He has never been able to get the same electrifying reactions he had with his “Perfect 10”
gimmick in the WWE.
Weirdly enough, his gimmick was so over to the point where WWE management didn’t want
to push him because they didn’t want people chanting 10 hence why he was kept off TV and
just randomly paired with R-Truth.
He has gone on record to say that he got on great with a lot of NXT management and told
Vince McMahon that he was “insulting the audience’s intelligence.”
It was clear that Vince McMahon never capitalized on the 10 gimmick but maybe Triple H can...
Toni Storm requested her release from the WWE after she felt they had a lack of respect
for her time and effort.
She also revealed how she was uncomfortable with a booking angle which was originally
supposed to see her stripped to her underwear by Charlotte Flair before having a pie thrown
at her.
Ironic because she would later open up an OnlyFans account straight after she was released
but that’s not the point I guess…
But now that Triple H has taken over as Head of Talent Relations, maybe a move back to
the WWE might be a good opportunity to show the WWE universe what she can really do.
After all, it was under the watchful eye of Triple H where she won the NXT UK Women’s Championship.
Keith Lee was always considered to be a Triple H guy.
In NXT, he became the first person to hold the NXT and North American Championships simultaneously.
Speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Keith Lee even revealed that Triple H wanted
to keep him on NXT for as long as he could.
When he did go to the main roster, he was booked strong as a legitimate main event contender
beating the likes of Randy Orton cleanly on a pay per view!
But reports of Keith Lee having “attitude problems” led to a shock firing.
Keith Lee now wrestles in AEW in a tag team which has led many fans to criticize how Tony
Khan has dropped the ball with Keith Lee.
In WWE, he was built up as a real threat to the division but in AEW, he’s just Swerve’s
tag team partner...
It’s frankly criminal how Vince McMahon never gave any recognition to the rise and
popularity of Rusev Day.
Despite Rusev being so over with the fans and becoming the WWE’s top merch seller
with his “Happy Rusev Day” shirts, Vince McMahon claimed that the fans were just “mocking
him” and told Rusev to ignore them.
How do we capitalise on Rusev Day?
I know, let’s just make him be a cuck on live TV…
After he was released due to budget cuts, he joined AEW under the name “Miro.”
Things were looking promising for Miro especially when he won the TNT Championship becoming
“God’s Favorite Champion.”
But after his 140 day reign came to an end, Miro became increasingly unhappy with his
booking in AEW.
He was caught liking a tweet agreeing with a fan that he had it better in WWE.
“Freedom” is what brought him to AEW but now that Vince McMahon is gone, he may reconsider
his position.
Andrade hinted his frustrations with AEW after liking a tweet from a fan who went off on
Tony Khan about how he was mistreating Miro and Andrade.
His frustrations with AEW could be linked to all the recent changes that’s been going
on in WWE.
After all, he excelled in NXT winning the NXT championship off Drew McIntyre as well
as delivering NXT’s first ever 5-star match when he fought Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover:
Philadelphia.
Fans complained how Vince McMahon was using Andrade as a mid-carder and now it’s looking
like he’s getting the same treatment in AEW under Tony Khan...
