Welcome back to wrestling world!
For today’s video, we’ll have taking a look at how AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler prevented
Big E from being a member of The Shield, Rey mysterio vs Bayley, Enzo and Big Cass, and
more
So let’s start things off with this Big reveal from Big E
Big E is currently in the middle of a long overdue singles push over on Smackdown as
the WWE intercontinental champion
WWE recently released a special documentary on Big E and it was so greatly put together
that it had Big E trending on twitter
Not only was it emotional and truly showed a deeper look into the man behind Big E, it
also featured some never before heard reveals
Such as the insane reveal that there were original plans for Big E to be the fourth
member of The Shield
CM Punk has told a lot of stories about the origins of The Shield
Punk claimed that it was his idea for WWE to take some of the great developmental talent
and bring them to the main roster with the usage of this new faction
Punk selected Seth Rollins, Chris Hero, and Dean Ambrose, Jon Moxley
WWE kept Rollins and Ambrose, but Roman Reigns was already one of their favorites back then
so they replaced hero with Reigns
But what CM punk or anyone else never really told us was that there was a cancelled fourth
member and that was Big E
According to Big E himself, There was a version of The Shield that would have saw him joining
Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns in the shield and he would’ve been called up with them
back in 2012
However, It was AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler that prevented Big E from being a part of the shield
WWE decided that they wanted to use Big E as the enforcer for AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler
that’s what they ended up doing
Big E had this to say about what happened with The Shield plans:
"My first feeling of getting called up was 2012.
I was doing loops.
Any collective period of days is a loop.
It’s Roman [Reigns], Seth [Rollins], Dean [Ambrose], and me.
There was some thought of bringing all four of us in together as a group.
Obviously, that changes, they go on to international fame as The Shield.
I was told, ‘You’re going to be with Dolph and AJ, on your very first night, you’re
going to attack John Cena.’
I’m thinking, ‘Man, this is it."
So that seemed to be one of the rough drafts for The Shield, it was going to be all four
of them but they trimmed it down to three
Of course it probably had to make Big E feel some type of way to see what The Shield turned
out to be and know that he was almost a part of that, but his debut was still very memorable
and impactful
He debuted by laying John Cena out and this was right in the prime of John Cena’s career,
Cena was still the top guy in WWE at the time so it was a big debut for Big E
Big E would spend a year or so of his career with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee and they were
a very impactful and underrated trio themselves
AJ Lee was at the peak and prime of her character, Dolph was winning world titles at the time,
and Big E was there as the enforcer
There a trio that definitely doesn’t get talked about enough, those three were very
entertaining to watch together
The pairing on WWE TV also helped Big E became close friends with AJ Lee and they still have
a close friendship till this day
Big E is now doing his thing on Smackdown as the intercontinental champion and that
Universal Title is definitely in his future as well
It was just very interesting to know that Big E was very close to debuting as a member
of The Shield
What do you think was the better debut was Big E?
Debuting and attacking John Cena like he did or him debuting with The Shield

Intergender matches are very hard to come by nowadays at least in WWE
It’s not banned or anything like that, it’s just extremely rare
There’s only been about 2 intergender matches over the last few years in WWE
Becky Lynch vs James Ellsworth from 2017 was one of those matches
Then we had one more recently on Smackdown when Sasha Banks defeated Reginald
We haven’t seen an intergender match since that Sasha Banks one, but a lot of superstars
have been teasing intergender matches since then
Xavier Woods and Reckoning had a viral interaction on twitter which resulted in them accepting
to face each other in a intergender match, despite the hype for that intergender match,
WWE never made Woods vs Reckoning official
But now we have another potential WWE intergender match on the way
Bayley took to twitter to say that she wanted to wrestle Rey Mysterio, which resulted in
a lot of fans discussing the possible matchup
Even WWE producer, Shane Helms, replied and said “can I produce”
So it appears that no only would fans be excited for this matchup but even some of the WWE
producers want to work on this matchup as well
Well WWE actually do anything with Bayley’s tweet and make that match a reality?
That’s what we’ll have to wait on

Enzo and Cass made a surprising return to wrestling this weekend and went viral on wrestling
twitter
If you’ve been watching WWE for a few years now and watching NXT back in the day, then
chances are you’re familiar with Enzo and Cass
They were by far the hottest tag team in NXT, fans loved them and they brought the charisma
that just made the crowd come alive
Carmella was even added to the group later on and it the trio was a very successful and
entertaining team in NXT
Carmella was drafted to Smackdown in 2016 and Enzo and Cass would also be called up
around the same time
Enzo and Cass didn’t last that long on the main roster before they were broken up on
Raw
Enzo went onto have some success in two-o-five live while Big Cass has a very short run as
a heel
The two WWE stars would both end up running into some controversies that costed them their
careers with WWE
Enzo was kicked out and reportedly banned after trying to hijack a WWE show from the
crowd and Big Cass walked away from wrestling after an incident and some dark times he’s
was going through
As a surprise to everyone, Enzo and Cass returned at a wrestling show over the weekend and it
was a complete shock to everyone
It’s the first time that Big Cass has stepped foot in the ring in such a long time
He responded on twitter to the love he was getting from the fans:
“After a long journey filled with an enormous amount of self-reflection, I now start my
journey towards redemption.
Thank you The-BigLG for the opportunity, and thank you to everyone for continuing to believe
in me hashtag Straight Outta Step 12”
The fans came out to show support for Cass on that tweet and he’s officially back to
pro wrestling
The big question that everyone is asking now is will Enzo and Cass return to WWE?
Well reports claim that there are some people in wwe that still support Enzo and Cass strongly,
but it’s unknown if that will be enough to bring them back to WWE
Would you like to see Enzo and Cass return to WWE?

Bobby Lashley is finally where he deserves to be, in the WWE title picture
Bobby Lashley has been very vocal about wanting to face Brock Lesnar and how much of a dream
match that would be for him, but Lashley is switching his tone now, he no longer seems
that interested in that Lesnar match at least for the time being
He had this to say when speaking with Inside the ropes:
“As far as Brock, Brock is one person but how I look at it is, Drew beat Brock in no
time.
Of course, my sights were set on Brock for some time, like I say, Drew’s the man.
Drew beat him, Drew beat Goldberg.
So, of course, Brock is the dream match that everybody has wanted me to have for some time
but, right now, I’m looking to beat the best and right now the best is Drew.
Drew is the top guy.
If I beat – when I beat Miz – Drew is the guy”
So Lashley is making it clear right there, it looks like he’s seeing Drew McIntyre
as his real dream matchup right now
Like he said, Drew beat Brock, he beat Goldberg...that makes Drew McIntyre the top guy that you have
to beat, so could we be seeing Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley in the near future?
That definitely seems like a realistic possibility, so we’ll have to see
