#8 Sonya Deville asked Vince McMahon for promo time
WWE Backstage has become one of the company’s most popular weekly shows for fans who like to hear what the people behind the characters think about their current role on television.
On this week’s show, Sonya Deville revealed that she asked Vince McMahon and members of WWE’s creative team for an opportunity on the microphone. She added that they “can take it away from me forever” if she messed up.
WWE viewers will know that Deville did not mess up, as she delivered a memorable promo segment that turned out to be one of the biggest highlights of her rivalry with Mandy Rose.
#7 WWE accidentally tried to hire Adam Cole instead of Xavier Woods
One of the most bizarre stories of 2020 so far was revealed this week by WWE NXT Superstar Adam Cole in an interview with The Wrap.
The 30-year-old made his first on-screen WWE appearance as a 19-year-old when he took part in a bar scene with Serena Deeb and The Straight Edge Society. However, Cole (real name Austin Jenkins) recalled that the segment only happened as an act of generosity after someone within WWE accidentally said they wanted to sign him.
Cole noticed when he received a follow-up email from WWE that they wanted Xavier Woods (real name Austin Watson) and they had been trying to sign the wrong Austin!
