In the video John Cena, The Miz & Brodus Clay discuss WWE’s new partnership with Scooby Doo. The WWE-Scooby Doo movie will be released around WrestleMania time next year. The movie will feature voice roles by John Cena, Vince McMahon, Triple H, Kane, The Miz, AJ Lee, Santino Marella & Sin Cara.
The official WWE YouTube channel is capitalizing on the continued viral success of AJ Lee’s promo from this week’s Raw. The promo was already included with the end of the divas match but as the popularity of AJ’s promo continues to grow WWE has re-uploaded it without the divas match ending and left the commentary by Jerry Lawler and Micheal Cole at the end. They have also taken advantage of the hastag #PipeBombshell: The new video title reads #PipeBombshell: AJ Lee blasts the stars of ‘Total Divas’
The promo which went viral on twitter almost immediately has been compared to the 2011 promo by CM Punk where he “broke the fourth wall” discussing how he had been misused by WWE creative and other taboo “secrets” about the wrestling industry. While AJ Lee’s was obviously more scripted, it was clear that the WWE was trying to generate much of the same reaction. It appears that they were successful.
Among other realistic lines AJ Lee said during the promo none were probably more powerful then when she told the ‘Total Divas” stars that they were on reality television because they didn’t know how to act. This was a nod to the known fact that these performers portray characters and ring personas often times drastically different then their real life personality.
