Backstage Reaction, Producer Info for Shida vs. Hayter Main Event
Added 2022-12-23 20:24:02 +0000 UTCJamie Hayter and Hikaru Shida had a killer AEW main event on Dynamite on December 21, and we've learned more about who helped out with the match.
On this week's Ask Grapsody, Will Washington revealed that ROH veteran BJ Whitmer produced the Shida vs. Hayter match. In addition, he produced the positively received Toni Storm vs. Jamie Hayter match from AEW Full Gear. Whitmer has received consistent praise from talent that we've spoken to backstage, but Willow Nightingale also credited Whitmer on the record during her recent interview with Grapsody.
Fightful has heard unanimous positive reception backstage, not just about the main event itself, but Jamie Hayter's title reign in general. In addition, we've heard a lot of praise about the act surrounding her, with Britt Baker and Rebel also getting a lot of credit for seamlessly transitioning into the spots they're in.

2022-12-23 22:43:34 +0000 UTCIt's more a generalized thing, not even aimed at you. I just think Shida gets left behind, is all

2022-12-23 22:26:00 +0000 UTCI'm confused what about this article indicated that hasn't happened? In fact, we reported on the backstage praise she received almost two years ago. This seems like a really unusual thing to post on something unrelated

2022-12-23 20:35:33 +0000 UTCAt some point they need to credit Shida for carrying the women on her back all through the pandemic
