37-year-old performer claims WWE is seemingly unhappy with him for appearing in AEW

A 37-year-old performer has claimed that WWE is unhappy with his appearance in AEW. The said actor recently started competing in the ring.

Paul Walter Hauser is an actor who has appeared in several films and TV shows. Some of his most notable movies include I, Tonya, Silk Road, Cruella, Inside Out 2, etc. Recently, Hauser made a transition into wrestling and has competed in a couple of matches.

Hauser is an avid wrestling fan who appeared on AEW Dynamite and Rampage last year. He was also involved in a segment with Jeff Jarrett, Sonja Dutt, and Jay Lethal where he was smashed on the head with a guitar.

During an interview with Steve Fall of Ringside News, he was asked if WWE had reached out to him. Hauser recalled that he was supposed to attend a live show but it seemed like the administrative people did not want him there. He also believed this could be due to some comments he made during his AEW appearance.

“Uh, no. Kind of, kind of the opposite where I was going to go visit, and I think some of their, uh, administrative folks were not sure if they wanted me to be at one of their live shows because, uh, they had seen me on AEW, and I had made a couple remarks while on the microphone at AEW about bypassing Connecticut for Jacksonville.“

He continued:

“So I think, um, I think I don’t know what they think, but I’m guessing they don’t think I’m very famous, and they probably, uh, think I’m an AEW fanboy, which I love AEW, but I also like what WWE is doing right now. They’re in a really special, uh, place where they’ve figured out how to, um, get rid of toxic people and, um, and, and make room for new blood, as it were. So, I’m really happy for them, and, and I know people that work there, some brilliant, brilliant creative people, and, the product is looking better now than it has in a very long time.” [H/T: Ringside News]
