During a recent autograph signing for “Highspots Superstore,” AEW wrestler Serena Deeb discussed how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stole her “Final Boss” nickname.
The Rock used the moniker for himself last week in a social media promo, shortly after Deeb had called herself “The Final Boss” on AEW Collision.
Deeb said, “Funny thing is, I said that on Collision and then the following week…I don’t even know if I can say this. [Someone says he stole it] He stole it? [Laughs] Someone took it, and you guys would know who he is.”
Deeb is not the first person to use the name, as former WWE NXT UK women’s champion Meiko Satomura used it too.
On a recent edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan announced that El Hijo del Vikingo is not signed to AEW.
Konnan further stated that Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide is working on a television deal that would allow them to compensate talent better.
He said, “He’s not signed by Tony Khan. He’s signed to us, and he’s one of the very few talents, very good talents that we have, that Tony hasn’t signed. But what’s really f**ked us up, when this finally happens, we’ll have a more normal playing field, so we were supposed to get a TV deal like two years ago or something like that, and then the pandemic, a lot of changes were done in the industry. So we’re on our road to that now. Until we get our TV deal and we can get people the proper compensation like Tony does, we’re gonna lose them to him. But once we get a TV deal, a lot of people that aren’t being used right over there or anywhere, they’ll come back home because they know they’ll be used right by us.”
