• WWE Lying To Its Employees Regarding Sami Zayn’s AEW Mention On RAW

“You could’ve asked me about AEW.”
WWE didn’t include this line in the video that they uploaded on YouTube.

There were some reports going on that employees backstage in WWE were told that what Zayn said wasn’t scripted and that Vince McMahon was very angry at this situation.
However, that is not the case. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the AEW mention was scripted by WWE and WWE lied to their employees to give the impression of something controversial happening:
“It was scripted. They just lied to their own employees to make it out like Sami went against the script, not realizing anyone with a brain knows about the 15 second delay. Not to mention the people who did know would eventually tell those who don’t.
This is Bischoff WCW and they didn’t learn a thing from it. It draws no money and only makes paranoid talent even more paranoid, and makes employees think they’re working for an insane company, neither of which is a positive.”
