Welcome Back? Controversial 43 Year Old Former Star Working Backstage At Survivor Series

Another hand. There are a lot of people needed to make a wrestling show work and a lot of them are not people you see in front of the camera. In addition to the wrestlers, there are coaches and producers who help put the matches together. WWE has a large group of such producers and this week saw them bring back a name to help things out a bit, though it might not be so well received.

According to Fightful Select, Brian Kendrick served as a producer on the SmackDown Women’s Title match between Ronda Rousey and Shotzi at Survivor Series, assisting Jason Jordan. According to PWInsider.com, Kendrick was working on a tryout and has not been hired by WWE. Kendrick was scheduled to make his AEW debut in February but the appearance was pulled after controversial comments involving conspiracy theories made by Kendrick resurfaced before his match.

The match was rather watchable. Check out how it went, plus some more from Survivor Series:

Opinion: Kendrick is someone who has shown some great insight and intelligence in wrestling over the years, but some of the things he has said in the past could cause him some issues. Others in wrestling have been held back for similar issues and it would not surprise me to see something similar happen to Kendrick. He is quite good, but at the same time, fans might not be happy with some of his takes and that could be a major problem.
