AEW wrestler accuses WWE star of copying his move

The next challengers for Pretty Deadly’s NXT Tag Team Titles were determined on this week’s WWE NXT episode when WWE booked a triple threat number one contender’s tag team match with Malik Blade & Edris Enofe, Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen, and The Dyad (Rip Fowler & Jagger Reid).

WWE sent out a clip of a spot in the match with the caption of Booker T saying that Briggs was busting out moves that he had never seen before.

AEW star JD Drake took to Twitter to air his grievance and accused Briggs of copying his move. He wrote the following in a series of tweets:

“At least let them know where you got it from Josh Briggs. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

“I did this in 2015-16. Worked with Josh in Evolve for a few years. Guess I made an impression. September 4. 2015 as a matter of fact.”

Drake’s tag partner, Anthony Henry, added: “He has done this since I have known him. Never seen Josh do it until now.”

Briggs has yet to comment on the accusation. Malik Blade won the match and will challenge for the titles at Halloween Havoc on October 22nd.

Henry and Drake continue to appear in AEW as The Workhorsemen. Their most recent AEW match happened on October 4th, where they lost via pinfall against Dante Martin and Matt Sydal on AEW Dark.
