Brian Cage questions why All Elite Wrestling fans do not take to him.
Currently one third of the Ring Of Honor trios champions, Cage is currently working through an extension on his AEW deal before pursuing free agency later this year.
Cage is not a fan favorite in AEW, but has proven to be one of the most talented big men in the company since making his debut with the promotion and his alliance with Team Taz.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Cage was asked if he feels he’s been underappreciated in AEW.
“In certain regards, yes. With our core audience at AEW, I feel they almost hate on me because of all those attributes [size, charisma, mic work, athleticism], I almost feel like that screams WWE. In some regards, it’s almost like anti-me, ‘He doesn’t belong here. He’s too jacked, he does this,’ which are all positives in my book, but it feels like ‘I’m on the wrong team.’ I can toot my own horn and say, they can’t be me, so they’d rather attach on to a Darby Allin or someone they can live more viciously through as opposed to someone like me,”
