He tweeted something along the lines of that he was thinking of Jon Huber (Brodie Lee) the night he came in and Amanda Huber/Jericho/a few others were upset with him both because he misspelled his name (he wrote John) and he had never really reached out to the family so some thought he was more using his name for selfish reasons as opposed to genuinely paying tribute to a friend. And apparently he also didn't take well to this view backstage and now seems unlikely to ever work there again. It was something more along the lines that Brodie's ghost had spoken to him. Yeah this he basically tweeted how Brodie gave him strength that night and how happy he was to have him as a friend (show was in Rochester) and Amanda was made because SDS 1)never reached out to family after death and 2)never really showed support for Brodie till the night he basically had a tryout in Brodie's hometown. So it was a bit more nuanced

Here is a write up of that situation with some more details that I forgot:
On this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Samuray Del Sol (fka WWE’s Kalisto) and Aerostar made their AEW debuts by taking on AAA World Tag Team Champions FTR.
Afterwards on Twitter, Samuray noted talking to Brodie Lee before his match, spelling his real name “John” instead of “Jon.”
“Prayed and talked to John (Brodie Lee) before my match. Thank you for showing me your home @aew and giving me the strength and energy I need it today. forever your in my heart Hermano.”
This got Chris Jericho to respond, “You spelled his name wrong,” which also got the support of Lee’s wife, Amanda Huber.
On the latest Bryan and Vinny Show, Bryan Alvarez reported Jericho’s response was due to the tweet causing Amanda to be “very, very upset.” Apparently, “a lot” of other people were bothered by it, too.
In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was reported Amanda was mad because Samuray wasn’t a friend of her husband and was name dropping him. She also noted they hadn’t heard a word from Samuray during these last few years.
It was brought up that Miro had misspelled “Brody” in the past, but Amanda listed off reasons why that wasn’t an issue. “Brodie” and “Brody” were stage names, not his real name. Miro spoke to Amanda almost daily when Lee was sick and had cried with her in the past. Also, Miro “checked on her and her kids continuously.”

I'm surprised neither Breeze or Fandango ever got a match - even just for Dark. Especially the former. Breeze is a really solid hand. Fandango going the CYN path may have had something to do with that. Breeze was pretty content to quietly give up wrestling after his release cause he made some life changing deals in real estate

I'm surprised Tegan hasn't popped up in AEW. Given that Claudio was signed under wraps for a while apparently, I'm assuming that Tegan/Nixon and Dakota/Kota will show up eventually if they don't pop up elsewhere. Seems like Khan is content to lock people down to bring them in later. Either that, or the pair of them have visa issues like the Iinspiration had.

Johnny's said on his streams that we'll know when he's coming back to wrestle when he randomly gets super tanned but in the meantime is taking time for the newborn and to heal up from injuries. He's also said he's gonna announce his return. He won't be a surprise opponent. Given his relationship with HBK and Trips, and how he left on good terms, I could see him going back to WWE if Trips and Steph are getting more power, and he's allowed to keep Twitch. I'm surprised Tegan hasn't popped up in AEW. Tegan's having the infamous "Visa troubles" last I heard.

Plus from what I've heard they were friends (dunno how close) and some people don't deal with it. It still seems like a whole lotta nothing to get a guy blackballed. It may have been a crappy thing for him to do but with the other things some AEW stars have been accused of (Hager and Darby) it really isn't much of anything.

Are The Ascension problematic? Because I'm honestly surprised that they haven't even done a one-off.

He apparently did a few other things backstage to rub people the wrong way. It's probably a combination of a lot of little things that just got people fed up. And he doesn't sound like much of a friend if he didn't reach out to Brodie or the Huber family even during his sickness. Probably a work acquaintance more than anything.
I don't really blame Amanda for being put off that this relative stranger is putting her dead husband's name in his mouth. Especially if you don't offer your condolences in private, it really comes off like clout chasing more than anything.

The IInspiration don't seem like they're en route to AEW any time soon, and seem done with wrestling entirely at the moment after their Impact run?
Heath is someone I don't know if we'll ever see in AEW, I remember very early on Cody shot the idea of him coming in down but it's been a long time since then
Breeze got super into real estate I think even before he was fired and he's doing really well with it, which probably factored into him not doing many wrestling dates. Dango is one I'm shocked was never brought in as an open challenge fodder but hey, never know

Gargano will probably come back when ROH is relaunched.

Plus FTR being injury prone really messed up their chances of a contract

Johnny Gargano seems like a wholesome guy. I'm really surprised AEW hasn't brought him and Candice in yet. Gargano and Candice are taking it easy with their baby, the Bucks absolutely love Candice, no doubt they'd both be in AEW if they want to do it.

That reminds me, does Kota have visa troubles as well? Is she back in New Zealand or something? I could imagine Nixon and Kota going over there, and given their histories with the likes of Toni and Ruby, I could see them working with those two. Only time will, though.

The IInspiration don't seem like they're en route to AEW any time soon, and seem done with wrestling entirely at the moment after their Impact run? I know not everyone likes them (some people seem to really HATe them actually lol), but it feels like such a loss for wrestling that The IInspiration have decided to focus on OnlyFans. Don't get me wrong, they should absolutely get that bag, and if they can make tons of money without f***ing up their backs then I get why they're doing it. I don't fault them in the slightest, but I'd really like to see them in wrestling again :/ I could be wrong, but the same thing seems to be happening to Brandi Lauren. She hasn't made a big announcement like The IInspiration did, but she hasn't done matches in awhile according to Cagematch. Though, to be fair, its only been since January, so she could still be around. Don't know why Impact let her go. (also discovery: if you google her google lists her as "american model" not "american pro wrestler", which is odd).

Gargano is popping up at the end of the month on Ethan Page's Toy Hunt Vlog so, take that as you will.

As for Brandi, I think I saw her post an advertised indy match for September on one of her Instagram stories recently.
