American Top Team’s Kayla Harrison recently spoke with Ariel Helwani and revealed that Dan Lambert told Lance Archer to “really elbow” him during their segment on AEW Dynamite last month.
Harrison said,
“That was his Olympics. That was his moment. He was rapidly texting me, ‘I’m going on at 9:30, you gotta watch. Wait until you see this.’ Then he does this nerdy spiel about all these wrestlers and styles. Afterward, I told him, ‘Dan, I’m happy for you if you’re happy. You are the biggest nerd I’ve ever met in my life, but I’m happy.’ He’s like, You wanna hear a funny story?’ He starts talking about how they prepared all this and he said, ‘I had to tell (Lance Archer), can you do me a favor? When you elbow me, I need you to really elbow me. Everyone at my gym will give me sh*t if you don’t really give me the business.’”
As many of you know, Lambert will be returning on tonight’s episode of AEW Rampage.
Lambert confirmed that story with me. It’s true. And he’s back on #AEWDynamite tonight with back up — a pair of former UFC champions. Lambert is so good in this role. Should be fun.
