Brian Gewirtz Says He’s Given Lines To AEW Talent For Promos

Brian Gewirtz is arguably the most famous writer in wrestling history as he worked for WWE from 1999 to 2012, eventually becoming the lead writer. 

Gewirtz worked closely with the likes of The Rock, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Edge, Christian, and more during his time in WWE. He still works with The Rock as part of Seven Bucks Productions. Gewirtz is still involved in wrestling as his new book “There’s Just One Problem: True Tales from the Former, One-Time, 7th Most Powerful Person in WWE” released on August 16. 

He’s also helped AEW talent with some lines in the past. 

“I’ve always maintained a great friendship with Jericho. He called me a couple of times and I threw stuff out at him. He even called me out one time because he asked me about something and I was like, ‘Well, I’m in Australia for Young Rock, I haven’t been able to watch the show.’ He’s like, ‘You have a fucking computer don’t you? Just watch the damn thing.’ ‘Well, I can’t argue with that, you’re right.’ There are a couple of, I kind of remember, I don’t remember specifically what the lines were. If a wrestler calls me and asks for a line, I’d love to help,” Gewirtz said on the Sports Media with Richard Deitsch. 

Gewirtz would go on to praise AEW for the mystery surrounding the MJF angle as he is unsure if it’s a work or a shoot, and though he said he could text MJF to possibly find out, he’s rather let it play out.
