AEW Fyter Fest 2019 - 5 Things we learned from the show

#3 Shawn Spears will be a heel

For the first time since early NXT, it appears that Shaun Spears will be a heel.

When the former Tye Dillinger signed with All Elite Wrestling, it made sense. He went way back to FCW with Cody and both men were underused at times during their runs in WWE. He appeared at DON in the Battle Royal but was unsuccessful in picking up the win.

He wasn't booked for a match at Fyter Fest, but he certainly made an appearance that had the wrestling world talking about it during and after the show. After Cody and Darby Allin battled to a time-limit draw, Spears entered the ring with a chair in hand.

Before Cody had a chance to react, Spears hit Cody with one of the hardest chair shots in recent memory. Due to the impact of the backrest bar, a gash was opened on the back of 'the American Nightmare's' head, a gash that required 12 staples.

As Spears left the ring, he looked at Brandi Rhodes with a blank stare as she yelled at him. Throughout his time on WWE proper, and for most of his time in NXT, Spears, was a face. He was initially a heel with 'the Perfect 10' gimmick but became a fan favourite when he turned face. It looks as if he will be able to explore his dark side after his attack on Cody.
