AEW Star Gets Reported Locker Room Heat Over Recent Comments
The AEW locker room wasn't happy with this wrestler's remarks about ROH and more.
Anthony Ogogo reportedly received some backstage heat in the AEW locker room for a series of tweets about ROH, Jonathan Gresham and Jordynne Grace following Ring Of Honor's Final Battle pay-per-view.
Fightful Select broke the news that Ogogo's outspoken tweets on social media were "not looked upon favourably" by some backstage in Tony Khan's organisation.
The boxer-turned-wrestler raised some eyebrows by tweeting mock congratulations for Gresham after watching the technical wizard become ROH World Champ; Ogogo said, "Super cute that @TheJonGresham was the last ever ROH champ; kinda reminds me when Hornswoggle was the last ever Cruiserweight champ. Congrats kiddo".
Gresham didn't respond, but his real-life wife Grace did.
She tore into Ogogo by taking a shot at the AEW's star lack of experience and suggested that he'd previously tried to hit on her before finding out she's married. That led Anthony to fire back himself, and the intense back-and-forth resulted in Grace deactivating her Twitter account.
One AEW source told Fightful that Ogogo was just trying to play a character or maybe start an angle, but arguably went too far with his comments and didn't know how to reel them back in. His inability/unwillingness to do so resulted in some heat with the AEW roster.
