You never know what might happen when you watch a professional wrestling pay-per-view, and over the weekend fans saw former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal make his AEW debut at the Full Gear pay-per-view.
Booker T recently discussed AEW signing Jay Lethal on his Hall of Fame podcast, and he said that he always thought that Lethal should be working in primetime while praising him as a wrestler that can work with anyone.
“It’s a great story more than anything. At the end of the day, he got a shot and hopefully he gets to show the world how good he really is. I’ll tell you right now, there ain’t nobody better than Jay Lethal, the guy can go out and work with anybody in the world. That right there is the mark of a true worker.”
“I just said ain’t nobody better than Jay Lethal, that doesn’t mean that Jay Lethal is better than everybody out there, that’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is this is a guy that knows exactly what that squared circle means and he can work with the best of them. When that guy walks away, they’re going to say, ‘He was pretty good.’ that’s the mark of a great worker.”
Jay Lethal will be in action tonight on AEW Dynamite when he challenges Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship. Stay tuned for updates.
