AEW may have planned an attack on LuFisto, claims veteran

WWE veteran Dutch Mantell recently claimed that All Elite Wrestling may have ordered a social media attack on Canadian wrestler LuFisto.

After LuFisto's interview with Fightful came out, several members of All Elite Wrestling came in defense of the company, including MJF, Ruby Soho, and many more.

WWE veteran Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on the issue on the latest episode of Sportskeeda's Smack Talk after the recent array of tweets.

"Okay, that tells me that AEW, as a unit, got all their talent together and said, 'Let’s all attack this girl.' Because all of a sudden, they just not gonna say, ‘Oh, I’m gonna want to attack this girl because I don’t like what…’ No, they were ordered to or asked to, and they did it," said Matell.

The veteran was convinced that the company's management ordered the wrestlers to respond to the tweet so that LuFisto's comments get censored.

"So, this is an orchestrated response to her. Now, again, I don’t know the girl. But they want to censor her. They want to cancel her, and she may not even have a point, I don’t know. AEW, if they would just do this, next time you have something like this, don’t say s*** about it. Don’t say nothing because the more you say, the more you stir fans up," Mantell added.
