WWE Are Doing Everything They Can To Stop Backstage Leaks

According to a new report by Ringside Seats based on a conversation between Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho on Talk Is Jericho, WWE appears to be doing everything they can to stop backstage leaks

WWE appears to be in a constant war of information, where it seems like every day more news is coming out about potential plans and backstage issues, concerns or news.

While on Talk Is Jericho, Jericho explained how he was almost called in as Shane McMahon’s replacement to team with Bryan at WrestleMania 34 if McMahon couldn’t make it.

Here is what he said to say:

“He goes listen, we don’t know if [Shane] can do Mania and he got someone to look over my schedule and we had a Fozzy show that day and originally when I was like, ‘why are we competing against WrestleMania? Why don’t we just do a combine it, we’ll do an earlier show, and let the venue buy WrestleMania and we’ll watch WrestleMania.’”

“He goes, ‘I know you got a Fozzy show and you’re watching WrestleMania with your fans. But what would you think about coming to New Orleans if Shane can’t do it?’ Do you know anything about this?”

Bryan would have an interesting reply to this, commenting on what backstage is like at this time in WWE. Apparently, WWE personnel are telling the talent less and less.

Check out what he had to say:

“It’s weird because we’re in this stage now where they don’t tell the boys anything. Right, so they keep all the secrets from the boys cause they’re afraid the boys are all talking to the dirt sheets and all that kind of stuff. And so I ask because Shane called me and told me. He said, ‘I’m in the hospital right now, I got diverticulitis while I was in Antigua and then when they were giving me IVs I got a staph infection from the IVs and then I have this hernia that’s coming out of my stomach. But don’t worry I’ll be ready for Mania.’ I was just like, ‘what? how?!’”

“So I was on my way to TV in the airport security when he texted and said ‘call me’ and all that happened. Then I talked to him and he said that and when I got to TV the next day I was like, ‘what are we going to do? Like certainly he can’t be wrestling.’ And they said, ‘well, he says he’s wrestling but we have a backup and we think it’s a pretty good backup.’ I said, ‘who is it?’ And then said: ‘We can’t tell you.’”

With H/T to Ringside News for the transcription.

Bryan thought it insane he wasn’t told who his partner would be if McMahon couldn’t make it. Despite picturing Jericho as the likely substitute, he wasn’t made aware of anything.
