Road Dogg on WWE dropping the ball on Aiden English: “Great dude. Great body, great wrestler, great voice. Couldn’t pick a nicer guy. And I don’t know. I will say I missed the ball with him.”

On other talents WWE dropped the ball with: “I think Rusev. I think Bobby Roode is a great hand, Bobby Roode doesn’t get used enough right now.”

On WWE dropping the ball on Rusev: “I think Rusev and Aiden English, there was something there with Rusev Day, we saw that. We felt it. We set it up … We made Rusev Day from a creative standpoint … but yeah, we dropped the ball with Rusev.”

The former WWE United States Champion was released by WWE in April 2020 as part of pandemic-related budget cuts. He later signed with AEW later that year and was re-dubbed as Miro. Miro is still currently signed as part of the AEW roster.
