In a scathing critique of the recent AEW Dynamite main event, wrestling veteran Konnan has taken aim at FTR’s Dax Harwood, accusing him of being lazy for not coming up with a compelling storyline for his match against Kazuchika Okada. The controversy erupted on the ‘Keeping It 100 OFFICIAL’ podcast, where Konnan questioned the narrative behind the highly anticipated bout.
Harwood’s match against Okada, which saw the AEW Continental Champion emerge victorious, was widely criticized for its lack of storytelling and depth. Konnan, never one to hold back, did not mince words, calling Harwood lazy for not putting in the effort to craft a more engaging narrative around the match.
The WWE Hall of Famer’s comments have sparked a heated debate within the wrestling community, with many fans and insiders weighing in on the issue. Eric Bischoff, the former RAW General Manager, has also entered the fray, taking a subtle jab at Harwood on X (formerly Twitter). Bischoff posited that if the main event of Dynamite had a more substantial storyline, the show’s ratings would have fared better. The recent episode did indeed receive some of the lowest ratings since 2020.
As the wrestling world continues to debate Konnan’s comments, all eyes are on Harwood to see how he will respond. The FTR member is currently gearing up for the Double or Nothing PPV event, where he will team up with Cash Wheeler, Bryan Danielson, and Darby Allin to take on Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, Nicholas, and Matthew Jackson in an Anarchy of the Arena match.
While Harwood remains focused on his upcoming bout, many are eagerly anticipating his response to Konnan’s scathing critique. Will he fire back at the wrestling legend, or will he take the high road? One thing is certain – the wrestling world will be watching closely as this drama unfolds.
