Former WWE writer reveals that there was a pitch to bring back the NWO with new members including Lars Sullivan
While speaking to the Public Enemies Podcast, former WWE writer Chris Dunn commented on an idea that was pitched during the COVID-19 pandemic for the New World Order faction to be brought back with new members…
“Do you guys remember the Thunderdome? It was really tough to do TV in there, so a lot of ideas were thrown against the wall. So, it was discussed at one point bringing back the nWo in 2020 again. A new version.
So, the pitch was Sheamus, Cesaro, Nakamura, and Lars Sullivan. We were really close to it happening.
I think there was a period where they were trying to figure out whether he [Sullivan] was coming back or not. Vince [McMahon] was always trying to get him on TV.
I forget which legendary nWo member was supposed to fly to Orlando to introduce this new nWo. It wasn’t X-Pac. But essentially they landed and didn’t pass the COVID test.”
Kevin Nash addressed the remarks from Dunn via Twitter/X…
“Never heard anything about it. Scott [Hall] and @TheRealXPac and myself were out almost every weekend together. So it definitely wasn’t one of us.”
