While WWE has had a fair share of bizarre storylines and incidents, AEW is not far behind. A current funny storyline involving wrestling manager Stokely Hathaway has somehow leaped all the possible boundaries, going a bit meta. The storyline took a bizarrely funny turn when WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle got roped in it.

How Kurt Angle became a part of AEW’s storyline

A clip that featured Kurt Angle was posted by Hathaway on his X (formerly Twitter) account. In the clip, Angle was seen urging Tony Khan and AEW’s Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale to give the 33-year-old manager a chance to prove his worth. Angle started by saying that he did not like how his “boy” was being treated at AEW. He then added that instead of going to Japan with Jon Moxley for a match, Hathaway decided to stay here to watch the tag team perform at the AEW Rampage. Angle, referring to Hathaway, added, “2024 is for the short, bald kings with a so-so credit score.”

He also added that Hathaway is a changed man now and the tag team should give him a chance. The former Olympian decided to start a campaign for his friend as he said, “#GiveStokelyAChance.”

What is Stokley Hathaway’s story?

The alliance between Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale gave birth to one of the best tag teams at AEW. The duo has been picking up win after win since they teamed up. However, something that has been going on outside the ring is Hathaway’s attempts at convincing Kris Statlander. As fans are aware, Hathaway wants to be the former AEW TBS Champion’s manager.

These attempts of his had led to some pretty amusing and fun segments at AEW. The latest was at the recent episode of AEW Rampage. As the two were introduced, Hathaway was seen flattering Statlander with compliments. However, he decided not to bombard compliments on her tag team partner Nightingale. Due to this, Hathaway is commonly ignored by the duo. However, Angle‘s statement for Hathaway might change the duo’s perspective. Do you think Angle’s campaign for Hathaway will be enough to convince the duo?
