In professional wrestling, drama and tension between superstars are not uncommon. However, when it involves two prominent figures like Brian Cage and Don Callis, it becomes a topic of interest among fans. Recent revelations from WCW veteran Konnan have shed light on the supposed heat between The Machine and Callis, which dates back to their time in Impact Wrestling.
For those who may not be aware, Don Callis manages a faction in AEW, featuring notable talents like Will Ospreay, Konosuke Takeshita, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Kyle Fletcher. Prior to joining AEW in 2020, Callis held the position of Co-Executive Vice President of Impact Wrestling, where he worked alongside Brian Cage, who was a massive star in the promotion and even held the world championship title.
Konnan, during his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, revealed that the tension between Cage and Callis stemmed from an incident where Brian was supposed to squash a talent in a match. Instead, The Machine chose to wrestle a proper match, going against the plans. This apparent disobedience led to friction between Cage and Callis, who was the authority figure at the time.
Despite the reported heat, Brian Cage is known for being an exceptional athlete and an even better human being. Many of his peers have praised him for his helpful nature and willingness to put others before himself. Konnan echoed these sentiments, stating that The Machine is “very unselfish” and should not hesitate to prioritize his own success when the opportunity arises.
The recent loss to Swerve Strickland on Dynamite has left fans wondering what the future holds for Brian Cage. As the wrestling world continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds. One thing is certain, however – the drama and tension between Cage and Callis will only add to the intrigue surrounding their careers.
