Melissa Santos went on Twitter to proclaim her husband Brian Cage is being misused in AEW and should be a top star. Don’t get me wrong, I like Cage enough. Good look. Great finisher. Kinda clunky in the ring and I’m not big on him trying to wrestle a style that’s not complimentary of his physical appearance, but he’s a good talent and they’ve featured him and mostly protected him since his debut, and he’s in finishing up a year long storyline with team taz. He also can’t cut a decent promo that I’ve seen and seems vanilla as fuck, personality wise. I get it’s get husband and she wants him to be the top guy but let’s be realistic here. He’s far from misused. He’s been beaten clean 3x in the last year as far as I know, one of which was Taz throwing in the towel and the other with Darby pinning him on a crucifix bomb off the top rope and was made to look like an upset.
Misused is certainly not the word I’d use. Underutilized, maybe. But even then.
