Internet Spots AEW Star On WWE TV During SmackDown, Associated Name Responds

As WWE SmackDown took place, the wrestling world noticed a sudden “appearance” of a certain AEW star, who then responded on social media.

During the brawl between Jimmy Uso and Drew McIntyre, security personnel arrived to stop the two from tearing each other apart. As the segment continued, the internet saw an interesting tidbit, which is also seen in AEW television regularly.

Lance Archer, a current member of The Don Callis Family, is sporting braids and extensions, which is his signature look. One member of the security personnel from SmackDown ironically wore the same set.

For context, Archer was a former WWE superstar in his own right from 2009 to 2010. He performed in the ECW brand and had a feud with Shelton Benjamin before getting released on November 19, 2010.

After his stints at Global Force Wrestling (now TNA) and Japan, the Murderhawk Monster arrived in AEW to be Jake “The Snake” Roberts’ client. He even challenged Jon Moxley and Miro for the AEW and TNT Championships respectively, but was unsuccessful in both.

Aside from wrestling in the Jacksonville-based promotion, Archer also performs for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, which has been his home since 2011, despite being contracted to Tony Khan’s company. He was a former IWGP Tag Team Champion with Davey Boy Smith and a former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion.
