During the latest edition of his Saturday Night Special series on YouTube, Chris Jericho commented on the person responsible for leaking Eric Bischoff's surprise appearance on All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite a couple of weeks ago. He was there to host the debate between the Demo God and Orange Cassidy, but someone shared the news on Reddit beforehand.
The same person leaked spoilers from a number of other shows, including that Stadium Stampede match back in May. Jericho said that Mike Tenay was also considered for the role, but it was him who pitched Bischoff, and AEW has now identified who was responsible.
"Social media is a different ball of wax. I think the amount of people who are on social media is very small compared to the overall people watching. For example, when we had the debate and Eric Bischoff was announced on Reddit and we know the spy is, by the way. Oh, we know. He’ll never f**king be back in AEW, NXT reject was a spy, so print that."
"I was like, listen, we can announce this or we can just not announce it and don’t worry about it and see. The people that know will know and maybe they’ll watch if they weren’t going to. The people that don’t know, will still be surprised. That’s exactly what happened, people were super surprised that Bischoff was there and it worked out great."
There's no way of knowing who this might be as AEW has used a number of former NXT developmental talents as members of the crowd on Dynamite in recent weeks. While they've now taken measures to combat this, spoilers for Saturday's Dynamite have been leaked online, so there might be more they have to do.
We'll keep you guys updated.
