In a recent interview with Witty Whittiter, AEW wrestler Evil Uno expressed his desire to wrestle AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage.
Uno said, “I’ve always looked up to him and I would love to wrestle Christian Cage in All Elite Wrestling. I think he’s doing some of his best work, although he has been a jerk. He’s definitely a jerk. He’s a very talented jerk and I would love to get the opportunity to wrestle him someday.”
Christian will defend the TNT Title against Daniel Garcia this Sunday at AEW Revolution 2024 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
On a recent edition of his “1 Of A Kind” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam discussed competing in a six-man tag team match last week on AEW Dynamite.
RVD teamed with Hangman Page and HOOK in a losing effort against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Brian Cage on Dynamite.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his tag team match on last week’s Dynamite: “It was good. It was a six-man tag, and those are complex with everyone trying to be in the right spot. There was a lot of chaotic energy to it, but it was fun. Crowd was awesome. Of course, RVD got the biggest pops ever.”
On his thoughts on the match: “It was good. All those guys are good, but like I said, it was a little bit chaotic. I was in the ring with Joe, but it might have been a couple moves here and there, or it could have been a save or whatever. There was just so much going on. It’s not the same as being in there and wrestling around with somebody in the ring for a little bit, although that does happen. That is part of the match, people pair off and do that, but I don’t know. I guess I felt like I was in there for a long time, and people were taking turns whipping on me. But it was cool. Everyone’s good.”
On a lot of people in AEW going out of their way to make him feel welcome: “Everyone at AEW, not everyone, but a lot of the guys really went out of their way to make me feel appreciated and welcome. They were like, ‘Hey, some of us might be a little apprehensive about coming up and telling you this, but we’re all so excited that you’re here and so stoked. It’s so cool.’ There was a few particular guys that said that. I’ll always remember that. That stands out. It definitely puts me in a definitely perspective than in WWE, where I kind of just felt replaceable, expendable, might be there next week, might not. I never knew how to feel [laughs]. I never knew if I was really being appreciated or not there because there was so much balance of different energies conflicting. Totally, no pressure [in AEW].”

In another wrestling news, WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam discussed his recent experience competing in a six-man tag team match on AEW Dynamite during an episode of his podcast, “1 Of A Kind.” RVD teamed up with Hangman Page and HOOK but unfortunately ended up on the losing side against Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Brian Cage.
Reflecting on the match, Van Dam described it as good but also acknowledged the complexity of six-man tag team matches. With multiple wrestlers trying to be in the right spot, there was a lot of chaotic energy in the ring. Despite this, Van Dam praised the crowd and mentioned that he received some of the biggest pops of his career.
Van Dam also expressed his appreciation for the talent of his opponents but admitted that the chaotic nature of the match made it difficult to fully engage with each wrestler individually. However, he appreciated the opportunity to work with everyone involved and acknowledged their skills.
One aspect that stood out to Van Dam was the warm welcome he received from the AEW roster. Many of the wrestlers went out of their way to make him feel appreciated and welcome. This gesture meant a lot to Van Dam and contrasted with his experience in WWE, where he often felt replaceable and uncertain about his place in the company.
Overall, it is clear that both Evil Uno and Rob Van Dam have had positive experiences in AEW. Uno’s desire to wrestle Christian Cage showcases the respect and admiration he has for his fellow wrestler, while Van Dam’s comments highlight the welcoming and appreciative atmosphere within the AEW locker room.
