During the latest edition of “The Sessions with Renee Paquette” podcast, AEW star Jon Moxley commented on a last-minute change that led to Wheeler Yuta joining the Blackpool Combat Club.
Back in February, the original plan was for Jon Moxley to face off against Brian Kendrick. That all changed when some offensive comments Kendrick made many years ago resurfaced and he was pulled from the show.
Moxley said,
“The thing with Wheeler was an accident. I was supposed to wrestle Brian Kendrick, hour before the show, that match is not happening … The show starts in an hour and Tony was like, ‘Wheeler!’ … so we go and have a little match. That was either before or after Bryan did the promo, and he’s one of the guys, I think Bryan mentioned him by name, and then it just like, very naturally happened and before you know it, he’s in the group.”
