Wrestling veteran jokingly urges Triple H to fire Wendy Choo on live WWE TV
Industry veteran Konnan shared that WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H should fire the 32-year-old female star on live television.
Since Choo currently plays a sleepy gimmick, with pajamas as her wrestling gear. The 60-year-old veteran discussed her future in World Wrestling Entertainment. Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan jokingly suggested The Game to fire her on TV while she plays her sleeping character.
"Well, for this girl, Wendy Choo, what I would do for this gimmick is that she's always sleeping. I would have Hunter come by and put a piece of paper here, and when he leaves, they put a close-up, and it's, 'When you wake up, you're fired [laughs],'" he said. [1:23 - 1:37]
During the NXT Live event on May 10, Wendy joined forces with Jordan and Sinclair to pin the team of Izzi Dame, Jazmyn Nyx, and Stevie Turner. It remains to be seen if Triple H and WWE have any plans to bring the 32-year-old to the main roster in the future.
