“All Elderly Wrestling”: Fans Divided as WWE Hall of Famer Makes His AEW Debut

The wrestling world, be it WWE or any other promotion, has a huge penchant for shocking debuts and returns. These instances are known to have the loudest pops and could lead to an instant surge in ratings. A well-planned debut adds to the shock value and builds fans’ intrigue with the product. All Elite Wrestling is always two steps ahead of its fans by offering intriguing debuts and returns on a regular basis.

This was the case in this week’s AEW dynamite edition as well. AEW wrestler Jay Lethal had teased the arrival of his old friend ahead of his match against Darby Allin this week. And the advertised debut did not disappoint as former WCW and WWE wrestler Jeff Jarrett attacked Darby Allin.

During the match, Allin was initially attacked by a Sting Imposter later revealed as Cole Karter. He cost Allin the match and started a collective beatdown for the former AEW TNT Champion. Sting’s music hit but it was not what the fans have come to associate with as Jeff Jarrett appeared from behind and attacked Allin with his trademark guitar.

Furthermore, Double J would then go ahead and mock a battered Allin as he said, “Darby Allin, you just got a lesson from the last outlaw. You ask what that lesson is, Darby, whatever you worship it becomes your weakness. You wanna worship the icon Sting? well, it’s become very obvious that he has become your weakness.” 

Fans had mixed reactions to WWE Hall of Famer’s AEW debut

The AEW fans were quick to express their opinions on Jarrett’s AEW debut. And they had mixed feeling about the WWE Hall of Famer’s All-Elite debut.

Well, expect the unexpected!

Not sure about that. Are we?

One of the fans came up with a new full form for the promotion!

A feud with The Icon is on the cards?

All praise to Jarrett’s iconic instrument for destruction.

Would The Phenom approve of this?

Clearly, Jeff Jarrett’s surprise debut in AEW has caught many wrestling fans off-guard. Double J is known to rile up the fans with his villainous persona and he looks set to continue the trend. He has had stints with all the major wrestling promotions and is an established name in the industry.

AEW Chief Tony Khan later announced in a tweet that apart from his In-ring role, Jarrett would be joining the company as the new Director of Business Development. This new collaboration would be hoping to tap into Jarrett’s huge experience. Additionally, it’ll also be interesting to see what the veteran has to offer AEW both in the ring and backstage.
