#5 Toni Storm was meant to be embroiled in a love triangle story with Dolph Ziggler, and Rick Boogs

During her appearance on Talk is Jericho, the former WWE Superstar detailed the scrapped story that never happened during her run.

Toni Storm continued by noting how the story never went anywhere.

Soon after the AEW star’s departure from WWE, Dolph Ziggler went on to have a brief reign with the NXT Championship.

#4 Bret Hart’s 1993 victory at King of the Ring inspired AEW’s Dax Harwood to become a wrestler

ROH World Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood recently shared a nostalgic tweet. Harwood noted that, like many fans, he watched in awe when Bret Hart defeated Bam Bam Bigelow to become the King of the Ring. He stated that this bout inspired him to become a wrestler.

It’s no secret that FTR reveres The Hitman, but now fans know the actual moment that David Michael Harwood became Dax.

#3 Bill Apter believes that Paige would be a great addition to AEW’s women’s roster

Paige recently announced that she’ll be parting ways with WWE after 11 years with the promotion. While the fan-favorite will have to wait until the seventh of July before she can officially begin her next chapter, wrestling legend Bill Apter hopes she joins AEW.

In a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Apter explained the reasoning as to why he wants to see the star in AEW.

She still has just under a month before she can potentially strike a deal with Tony Khan to become All Elite. Unfortunately, Paige has still not been cleared to wrestle since her 2017 neck injury. At this stage, she’ll likely have a backstage role if she joins any other wrestling promotion.

#2 Jay Lethal considered signing with AEW before ROH went under and released all their signed wrestlers

In a recent appearance on AEW Unrestricted, Jay Lethal opened up about joining All Elite Wrestling. The veteran noted that he was extremely loyal to ROH, which is why he stayed with the promotion for as long as he did.

Lethal went on to call his AEW debut a “perfect storm.”

Not all fans are happy with Jay Lethal’s portrayal in All Elite Wrestling so far. However, with his new heel persona, he might now be able to change his perception among fans.

#1 Tommy Dreamer was disappointed with Wardlow’s exclusion from the Casino Battle Royal

While speaking on the latest episode of Busted Open, ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer voiced his concerns surrounding Wardlow’s recent booking.

Dreamer then praised Wardlow’s promo skills.

The War Dog seems to be up for a massive push as he made his intentions clear to capture the TNT Championship. Fans will simply have to see if Tony Khan has an interesting story in mind for the rising star.
