Kendrick was recently granted his release from WWE, after which AEW announced his debut against Jon Moxley on Wednesday’s show.
However, a few hours before the episode aired, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion’s past tweets went viral, resulting in massive fan backlash. AEW President Tony Khan then announced Kendrick’s removal from the show.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Hall of Fame, Booker T stated that Tony Khan should have unearthed Kendrick’s past before announcing him to appear on Dynamite.
He believed the promotion’s decision to book Kendrick for the show was rushed and intended to be a jab at WWE. In conclusion, Booker T explained that though AEW made the right decision by withdrawing Brian Kendrick from Dynamite, they should have been more careful and aware.
Brian Kendrick apologized after his AEW debut was scrapped
Soon after Tony Khan canceled his debut, Brian Kendrick took to Twitter to apologize for his comments. The former WWE star accepted that his past views have caused long-lasting damage and that he “crossed the line.”
Furthermore, Kendrick added that he would regret his actions for the rest of his life.
Following his scrapped debut, Wheeler Yuta stepped up to face Jon Moxley in the opening contest of Dynamite. As expected, the former WWE Champion had it fairly easy against the Best Friends’ member, except for a few moments where Yuta legitimately came close to causing an upset.
