Snoop Dogg has a history with WWE. He is a WWE Hall of Famer after all, and many people were surprised to see him appear on AEW Dynamite alongside Cody Rhodes.
It was rumored that WWE officials were unhappy about Snoop Dogg’s appearance on Dynamite, and while speaking about the appearance on Hot 97 Snoop said that WWE “felt some kind of way.” He also went into detail about how the appearance came together.
“Let me tell you this, Snoop Dogg ain’t no wrestler. He’s bigger than that. You gotta understand that. This is the dynamics of what happened: I had a show on TBS called Go-Big Show. So, Cody Rhodes was one of the judges on the show, and he’s one of the top dogs at AEW. So, as a promotional vehicle for the gig, I went on AEW.”
According to the Hall of Famer the WWE decided to “push pause” on him, but later changed their approach.
“Hey, you funning with them? We got to push pause on your ass for a minute. So, I stayed cool. They pushed pause for about two weeks, and then they go, ‘hey man, we got this videogame and we need you.’”
