AEW personality reveals scrapped plans for a WWE Summerslam After Dark special he was supposed to host
AEW personality RJ City, who worked for WWE prior to joining AEW, hosted Wrestlenania After Dark on WWE’s official digital platforms in 2021. While speaking at a Sign-it-Live session for Highspots, RJ revealed that there was supposed to be a Summerslam After Dark special as well…
“We did a wonderful thing called WrestleMania After Dark. It was a comedy special. It’s on YouTube, it’s on Peacock for I don’t know how long, between night one and two of WrestleMania. The WrestleMania that rained and they all stalled. So, it aired then, they loved it. They’re like, ‘This is fantastic,’ and they said, ‘Let’s do another one.’ So we had planned and we had written SummerSlam After Dark and two weeks before we were going to begin production on it, they gutted the whole digital department.
So these (notes R.J. drafted) are all the bits that were planned and submitted for SummerSlam After Dark, including a phone call with James Adomian as Jesse Ventura. I was gonna have Tugboat on the show. See what you missed out on? I was gonna have Shayna Baszler on. I was gonna have Asuka on the show and play my favorite game, ‘Is André the Giant hot?’ We just bring up a photo and we discuss.” (quote courtesy of PostWrestling.com)
