AJ LEE'S WRESTLING FUTURE?, WHERE IS ODYSSEY JONES, AEW TAG TITLE CHANGE AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-10-12 10:01:00

Whatever happened to Odyssey Jones in WWE?

Nothing.  He's been traveling to the Smackdown tapings weekly but hasn't made TV, yet.

With all the talk of CM Punk's future, what about AJ Lee?  Any chance of her in WWE or AEW?  She did wrestle in Heels!

I would sincerely be shocked to see her back in WWE and even more shocked to see her in AEW.  She retired due to health concerns and she had a stunt double for Heels.

Did FTR lose the AEW Tag Team Champions due to Cash Wheeler's legal status?

No, we are told there is (as of this writing) no update on that case and are told the Tag Team titles went to Ricky Starks and Big Bill as part of a creative plan, nothing more.  The long-term appears to be Young Bucks vs. FTR again, so I'd expect to see the belts eventually slide over to one of those teams before they rematch All In: London.

Why did Earl Hebner leave WWE?  You'd think he would have a job for life after the entire Bret Hart thing.

Hebner was released from WWE in July 2005.  At the time, Hebner was alleged as selling WWE merchandise without permission at the St. Louis Pro Shirt Shop he held a partial ownership of.  Hebner was bought out of his ownership of the store shortly after at which point the store issued a statement that they have only sold authorized merchandise.  The late Dave Hebner was let go at the same time.   To date, Earl has never been back with WWE in any official capacity.

I miss the old Legends of Extreme show you did on Highspots Network.  Any chance of anything new?

I filmed an interview with Nailz for Highspots.TV several months back.  We have a rough draft together for a potential documentary on an ECW act but forever but the pandemic and other projects have let to it being pushed back many times over.  No plans for new Legends of Extreme at this time.  The fact the show was pirated so quickly led it its very early demise.
