Eric Bischoff surprised a lot of fans when he showed up on AEW Dynamite. It would have been a bigger surprise if the news wasn’t spoiled way ahead of time.
Chris Jericho made a quip during his Saturday Night Special about an “NXT reject” who leaked the news. There were some theories going around, but Fightful Select seems to have more of the story.
It was reported that Tino Sabbatelli was called out for being the NXT reject who gave out the Bischoff scoop. It hasn’t been confirmed that he actually did it, but that is who Chris Jericho and others are talking about and it is who they have referenced as the suspected culprit.
“We don’t know if Sabbatelli was actually leaking information from AEW, just that he’s the person often referenced by those in AEW.” it was reported. It sounds like there might have been a reason why Tino wasn’t invited back.
