Former WWE Writer Reveals Pitch For New NWO During COVID Era Featuring Sheamus, Cesaro, Nakamura, And Lars Sullivan
The NWO almost returned to television?
Ideas get thrown at the wall all the time in the WWE writers’ room, and many don’t make it to television.
Appearing on the Public Enemies Podcast, former WWE writer Chris Dunn revealed a pitch during the COVID era that nearly got done.
“A lot of ideas were thrown against the wall. It was discussed at one point bringing back the NWO, a new version. The pitch was Sheamus, Cesaro, Nakamura, and Lars Sullivan. It was really close to happening. I forget which legendary NWO member was supposed to fly to Orlando to introduce this new NWO. It wasn’t X-Pac. Essentially, they landed and they didn’t pass the COVID test,” he said. “They were going to debut and it was going to be figured out as we go. This is when it was at the PC.”
WWE ran shows from the Performance Center drom March 2020 to August 2020 when they moved to the ThunderDome.
What could have been with the new New World Order.
