Bow Wow’s short stint with AEW in 2022 had fans wondering if a wrestling crossover was actually happening—but according to AEW’s RJ City, the entire thing crashed and burned thanks to a single underwhelming promo video.
The rapper first grabbed attention by flirting with Jade Cargill on social media, which quickly became part of an on-screen angle. AEW aired footage of Jade and her Baddies confronting Bow Wow at one of his concerts, teasing what looked like the start of a potential feud. But the angle was abruptly dropped, and fans were left asking: What happened?
On AEW Unrestricted, RJ City admitted he was the one who unintentionally started the whole thing and explained why it quickly fell apart.
“I also want to say, by the way, it’s time I come clean and take responsibility for the whole Bow Wow fiasco. Swerve called him out on ‘Hey,’ right? Yeah, yeah—I remember that. I clipped it, they tagged him, and I guess Bow Wow was just laying in bed on a Sunday morning scrolling Twitter. He replied, and then it turned into this whole thing.”
RJ said the angle had a chance to take off — until Bow Wow’s promo killed the momentum and it all fizzled out.
“I mean, it almost blew up into something big, and then it immediately fizzled when he posted that low-quality promo from his phone. Which is a shame. But yeah—I want to take responsibility for it.”
What could’ve been a celebrity-wrestling spectacle ended not with a bang, but with a blurry phone video. Love it or hate it, AEW isn’t afraid to experiment with crossover moments. This one just didn’t land. And now we know why.
Are you disappointed Bow Wow never wrestled in AEW? Or was the whole thing doomed from the start? Drop your thoughts below—we want to hear what you think.
