Konnan recently appeared on AEW Dynamite but the segment almost didn’t happen.
Speaking on Keepin It 100, Konnan told the story of how he was going to miss the show because of travel. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“You have to look at the endgame. If I would have outsmarted Tully and ended it, that would have ended my tenure. Me doing this means I come back again. I just wanted to contribute. Let me tell you what’s incredible. In San Diego, they have a stupid curfew where you have to leave by 11:30. I’ve never seen that curfew applied, but they made us get off the plane. I was embarrassed because I had to text Tony [Khan], ‘Sorry, I know you announced me and I’m supposed to be there live, but I’m not going to make it.
“The flight was late coming in and it took forever for them to switch the shifts. [Tony] got back to me and found me a flight. I flew there, drove from Orlando to Jacksonville, I got there 45 minutes before the segment, not knowing anything I was going to say or do. They were like, ‘You have four minutes and 30 seconds and you’re taking this piledriver.’ ‘Which piledriver?’ I forgot what it looked like until I felt it. I thought it came off good. It could have been better, but I was happy.”
The segment ended with FTR impersonating Santana and Ortiz before attacking Konnan and hitting their piledriver.
