David Benoit Attends WWE Event After Saying He Was Banned (Photo)

Chris Benoit’s 26 year old son David Benoit recently appeared on the “Pro and Bro Wrestling Podcast” and stated that he was no longer allowed backstage at WWE events. It was speculated that Benoit’s ban may have been handed down after he was photographed wearing an AEW jacket while backstage at a WWE live event back in March.

In an update, it looks like the younger Benoit may have been wrong about the WWE ban as he was backstage at a WWE live event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada this past weekend. Natalya tweeted the photo seen below with David, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro.

She wrote, “Edmonton Vibes!!! #WWELive #DavidBenoit @TJWilson @WWECesaro (Cesaro with the photo bomb)”

For what it’s worth, the interview with Benoit was published earlier this month, almost two full weeks before he attended the weekend live event.

David, who is close with AEW World Champion Chris Jericho, also revealed that he attended AEW Double Or Nothing and All Out earlier this year. He also talked about wanting to join AEW.

“I’m just messing around in the ring right now with a couple of guys from AEW,” David said. He continued, “I want to go to AEW one hundred percent. I love AEW. I love what they do for the boys. Take care of them.”

Maury Povich Sends Paternity Test Invite To Mike & Maria Kanellis

Maury Povich of The Maury Show took to Twitter today to issue an invitation to Maria Kanellis, Mike Kanellis and Rusev, to come on his show for a paternity test.

“Maria, Mike, Rusev… no need to fight it out in the ring! If you’re looking for a paternity test, give us a call,” Povich said.

We noted last week how there had been a pitch within WWE to bring Povich into the Kanellis storyline. He films his long-running TV show in Stamford, CT, near WWE’s HQ and TV studios. Last week Povich’s Twitter account responded to a WWE tweet that commented on who the father of Maria’s baby boy is, and that started the storyline involvement.

As noted, Maria first named Ricochet as the father of her child on last week’s RAW but that just led to Ricochet squashing Mike after he insisted Maria was lying. Maria then brought back Rusev to WWE TV and named him as the father. Rusev also squashed Mike in a quick match. It was reported last week, via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that WWE plans to keep building the storyline to another reveal, and that Rusev won’t be the father in the end. Maria is just over 20 weeks pregnant with her son, which will be her second child with Mike.
