Many AEW stars have jumped ship to WWE over the years and experienced varying levels of success. Names like Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill have all become megastars in the promotion, while the likes of Lexis King, Shawn Spears, and Rey Fenix are yet to establish themselves properly.

Another AEW name being linked to the global juggernaut is Danhausen. However, veteran writer Vince Russo doesn't have high hopes for the 34-year-old if he switches to WWE. Russo was speaking on the potential move on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge.

Talking about Danhausen on Writing with Russo, he said that WWE would fumble the wrestler, like they did with Bray Wyatt. He also claimed that Danhausen's gimmick would not stand a chance in hell if he switched to the Stamford-based promotion.

"If they can't get Bray Wyatt over, they ain't getting Danhausen over. The answer to Danhausen is no, absolutely not. Especially I mean, Bray had size to him too. Bray was believable, bro. No, he, would not, that gimmick would not stand a chance in hell," Russo said. [0:42 onwards]

He shifted to becoming a football writer at TV9 Digital and is now with Sportskeeda.

At the same event, he also got quick interviews with former WWE Superstar Dijak and Japanese Joshi legend Emi Sakura.

When it comes to his favourite wrestlers, Faiz has two names in mind. He loved to watch Triple H before the current WWE CCO retired, and he is a huge fan of Roman Reigns. Being a loyal fan since the Tribal Chief's SHIELD days, Faiz credits Roman's mic skills and unmatched in-ring storytelling for his mega success. When he was young, one in-ring story left a lasting impression on his mind and eventually got him hooked on WWE. That match was Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24. Apart from that, he is also a fan of RAW.
