Cody is referencing his scheduled appearance as Stardust back in January, which was supposed to get a confrontation between himself and Stephen Amell, but it was cancelled due to a snowstorm in the Northeast.
Intergender Wrestling
Houston Press’ Cory Garcia posted a new editorial asking if intergender wrestling could work in today’s WWE, considering how it has been introduced and succeeded in other promotions.
The article references WWE’s position as a ‘family friendly entertainment’ company for being a reason why WWE might not have these matches, but notes that Lucha Underground has made it work successfully, and Chikara crowned Kimber Lee as their main champion. Additionally, Garcia notes “The World’s Cutest Tag Team” Candice Larae and Joey Ryan as being one of the independent scene’s most popular teams, but questions if WWE could make it work compared to these other promotions.
