Darren Young reveals recent AEW creative pitch he made to team with Sonny Kiss
“I’ve talked to Brandi, I’ve sent her ideas about teaming with Sonny Kiss. If no one has ever heard of Sonny Kiss he’s an incredible talent. And the story would be like, I’m the big brother, he’s the little sister, you know? So no one messes with my little sister Sonny Kiss. I think we could rock-and-roll in AEW as a team. Me, making sure no one messes with him, me having his back, and him wowing the crowd with his athleticism, and me wowing the crowd with my ground-and-pound attack.
“So I presented the idea to Brandi. I sent it to her and creative, I just haven’t heard anything back. Like I said, I’d love to get an answer, as to ‘we have nothing for you’ so I can just keep it moving, but I haven’t gotten anything.”
And Young says that he hopes the lack of response has nothing to do with his reputation – a reputation he says is backed up by multiple WWE main-eventers.
“I hope I don’t think I’m a bad talent, or someone hard to work with. My reputation in WWE speaks for itself. Some of the top talent really enjoy me as a talent – Sheamus, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle – these guys have my back and always gave me the time of day. So I think I’m pretty good to work with.”
So if he hasn’t heard back from Brandi, what about his relationship with Cody Rhodes? Young and Rhodes were both in WWE around the same time, for nearly the same amount of time.
“Cody and I have been in some matches together, and Cody’s always been a cool guy to be around backstage. He might, in a funny, cool way, stir the pot between people, but it’s all in good fun.
