Backstage News on Aiden English’s WWE Status Following Simon Gotch Release

According to The Wrestling Observer, following the WWE release of Simon Gotch, Aiden English of The Vaudevillains is scheduled to receive a push as a singles star.

On Gotch’s release, the Observer noted there had been speculation that his release might be coming as a result of the backstage fight involving Sin Cara in the summer of 2016. That fight was said to be a “one-sided destruction” by Cara and it was reported at the time that “Gotch’s mouth sometimes gets people mad at him.” The Observer noted this week that Gotch’s personality rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

WWE To Hold TV Tapings for New UK Network Show

As noted, WWE will be holding TV tapings on May 6th and May 7th in Norwich, England, and The Wrestling Observer is reporting the tapings will be for the one-hour weekly series to air on the WWE Network. The series is expected to debut before the summer is over, and while there had been talks of airing the show on broadcast TV, no official deal was put together.
