In wrestling nowadays, with multiple reports constantly emerging about what's happening backstage, it's very rare for WWE fans to be caught by surprise. But that's exactly what happened on AEW Dynamite this week.

This week on AEW Dynamite, when the Jericho Appreciation Society attacked Adam Cole, there was a shock awaiting. At first, it was only Orange Cassidy and Bandido who came out to make the save, but they were still outnumbered. Then out of nowhere, Roderick Strong came out to make the save for Adam Cole.

They threw back the Jericho Appreciation Society and just like that, Strong was standing with Cole. Fans immediately lost it and made their feelings known.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Some fans pointed out that Strong was still a part of WWE's roster page and wondered aloud what had happened.
