WWE @ Jay & Silent Bob: "You can't be here today."

Kevin Smith and his Jay and Slient Bob Reboot co-star Jason Mewes made a surprise appearance during AEW Dynamite last week when the pair popped up in the front row of the show's premiere. Smith was personally invited to the show by reigning AEW World Champion Chris Jericho, but now it sounds like that invite wound up costing Smith a seat at a different show just two days later. The Clerks director appeared alongside Jericho on The Rich Eisen Show this week and said that after he appeared on AEW television, WWE pulled his invite from the Friday Night SmackDown FOX premiere two days later in Los Angeles.

"We were supposed to go do WWE, me and Jay, the very next day, which was Friday," Smith said. "Was it Friday? SmackDown. And then the morning after, because we were on the AEW show, it trended, like, there was a lot of coverage and stuff. So the next morning we were told that WWE was like, 'You can't come on anymore,' and they canceled us. They kicked me and Jay off the show, but not in a crazy way, they didn't hit us with chairs."

If you ask me though, they were uninvited for beating up the primary demographic.

smartest decision wwe's made in a long time

If true, and I don’t really see a reason why they’d lie, that’s hilariously petty.

I thought they weren’t allowed past the year 2002?

In truth, I think WWE would've looked bad if they still had them on.

That's exactly the kind of petty nonsense I expect out of WWE.

WWE... Not chase after celebrity over their own talent?

What fresh hell is this?!

[Jonathan Michaels]

I love those guys, but I get it, if you have them show up on Smackdown two days after they show up on AEW, everyone accuses them of either trying to one up them or copy them.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Not a bad decision

You either get accused of copying AEW or something to put a negative light on it. Now if they told WWE beforehand that's one thing but if they didn't then I don't blame WWE at all

[Mozenrath]

On one hand, it makes WWE look small minded, but on the other, yeah, it'd have probably got them accused of piggybacking.

I'm glad they were on AEW. I feel like them on Smackdown would have ended up being some 20 minute segment.

they would have needed to cut the world title match in half

[Mozenrath]

Thinking about it some more, Smith made the right call, even if he didn't know he was making one to begin with. Them on Smackdown would have felt very ho-hum celebrity appearance, since WWE's done so many of those. It got on trending in part due to how it caught AEW fans completely off guard.

We’ll come to remember this as the moment the seed was planted in Kevin Smiths mind to start his own wrestling company

[The Captain]

It's you who are the ball-lickers, WWE.
