This week’s episode of NXT featured The Dyad vs. Edris Enofe and Malik Blade vs. Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen in a triple threat match to determine the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. At one point during the match Josh Briggs was on outside of the ring with Malik Blade and he pushed Blade into the ring ropes then hit him with a lariat as he bounced off. Booker T noted that he hasn’t seen anything like that in his 32 years in the business and apparently the move didn’t go over too well with AEW star JD Drake.
JD Drake took to Twitter to call out Josh Briggs when he posted a tweet saying, “At least let them know where you got it from Josh Briggs. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

He then took things one step further noting that he worked with Josh Briggs in Evolve when he added, “I did this in 2015-16. Worked with Josh in Evolve for a few years. Guess I made an impression.”
