Former WWE star changes up his look and says he pitched a new character to the company

During an interview with PWMania.com, former WWE star PJ Black aka Justin Gabriel commented on changing up his look…

“I didn’t plan on growing this beard during lockdowns, I kind of just grew a little goatee unto a point. And it just started growing and growing…I even cut a bit off every week. And I was like this will work for this new character that I’m trying to launch. This Dr. Darewolf / shaman character, which I have not yet…fully pulled the trigger on, but I’ve dropped some hints on it. So it kind of works. So let’s see where it goes.”

Black also revealed that his pitched a new character to both WWE and AEW…

“I did show them [WWE] this new character I’ve been working on and I sent them the package. I sent it to all the writers, the producers and everyone I know that works there. And you know, it’s kind of mixed reviews. Everyone’s like, ‘Interesting. I really want to see what’s next.’ Some people were like ‘Wow, there’s so much we could do with it.’ Because there’s so many layers to unpack. Some of the AEW people were just like ‘Ah, yeah, this is cool, but can you just be Darewolf?’ And I was like ‘Yeah, I can do that, too.’ So we’ll see what happens.”
