DEREK GOES BACKSTAGE AT AEW (PART 1)

[@nickyimbo6229]

Love how so humble AEW is a whole company , everyone their. Seems like they care about the fans more

[@brisky__]

Yeah they actually listen to the fans too 😌

I love how he calls out every wrestler when he sees them like he cannot believe it. "HALL OF FAMER MARK HENRY?! " This is so wholesome!

[@MayaWasHere120]

I do not know a single thing about wrestling, but that was 15 of the most joyous minutes of my life. I smiled the entire time

[@roldirevan2130]

That's all about it, at these moments wrestling, business, beef on any kind it all matters 0% Glad you appreciated it.

[@albaniampureana8602]

This is what they do best, great human beings

[@staalhard666]

Derek's quite the character. All of the topheels turn instantly babyface when they meet him 🤣 I wonder how MJF would have reacted to Derek lol.

[@samskyrider88]

He prob would of made derek cry lol hence why he's not there

[@yourwannaberockstar]

@@samskyrider88 He'd probably make fun of him in the softest way, that's for sure

[@anthonymeyer4139]

I haven’t smiled that hard in awhile. Awesome job AEW. Derek is a character that’s for sure!

[@bjolsen6687]

This shows how humble tony Khan is and the aew locker room is. Love it

[@jessicacarranza2959]

True

[@stacymirba1433]

Derek keeps asking for Punk and I was thinking this could get real interesting with Colt standing right there. The moment he said he was leaving to get ready to wrestle I knew that's when Punk was coming into the picture. Fascinating behind the scenes interactions.

[@bkleen4674]

Do punk and colt have beef now? The last I heard about the 2 of them was something about a lawsuit after the podcast years ago.

[@stacymirba1433]

@@bkleen4674 Punk sued wwe and asked Cabana to sue them as well. He didn't want to but Punk said he would pay for his legal expenses. After the date of the trial was set Punk told Cabana he wanted him to pay for half of it, even though Colt didn't want to be involved in the first place. After Punk and Cabana won, Cabana sued Punk to pay for his half of the legal fees. Cabana was Punk's best friend for 15 years and this is how Punk treated him.

[@mason_h3849]

@@stacymirba1433 not true, wwe sued punk and colt not the other way around and colt and punk were gonna be represented by the same lawyer and punk said he’d cover the legal fees because they were on the same legal team and then colt went behind punks back and decided to get his own lawyers so punk decided he wasn’t going to pay for that and then colt and punk won the lawsuit and then colt sued punk for breaking his promise to cover his legal fees and then punk sued colt in retaliation and then they both dropped their lawsuits so nobody won and nobody owed anybody anything and now they’re still on bad terms from what i’ve gathered

[@wolfcola3401]

@@mason_h3849 I hear they squashed the beef.

[@mcqueenx75]

When he called Luchasaurus "Lizard guy" I could feel Luchasaurus' feelings hit the floor, 😆

Derek Vs LuchaSaurus next year at All Out

[@demoskidd]

This makes me so happy. I've followed Derek on TikTok for some long. I had hoped he'd get this treatment somewhere else just being this amazing wrestling fan. He deserves this so much.

[@craiggunn6035]

Derek's the only guy tough enough to call mark henry 'buddy' without suffering the consequences😂

[@marke123ify]

Most wholesome video I've seen! His expressions, and joy were unrele!

[@trevorharding3783]

AEW is so wholesome and they have such a vast roster of superstars from both the past and present. Thank you AEW for making this kid's day special.

[@mcqueenx75]

Proud of AEW for making his day

[@ShogunEorling]

Dustin points to Colt "he's a great wrestler", points to Ricky "this guy... is starting to be". Ricky just nods very shy. Respect is something you earn and Dustin knows his shit.
