Folks, we’ve got a wild one here. Brooks Jensen, frustrated with his position in WWE NXT, decided that throwing a hissy fit and getting himself “arrested” on live TV was the way to go. In an impressive display of theatrics, Jensen is now claiming free agency, with his first post-WWE match mysteriously set for an independent event tomorrow. Talk about a Houdini act!
Fightful Select reports that this is all part of a grand storyline – you know, wrestling’s version of a soap opera. Jensen, now parading under his real name, Ben Buchanan, is still very much tied to WWE. It’s like he’s got one foot out the door and the other stuck in the revolving door of WWE contracts. Drama alert!
Last month, our boy Brooks raised eyebrows by adding a booking email – Buchwrestle01@gmail.com – to his X (formerly Twitter) bio. Subtle as a flying brick, right? He even gave a shoutout to WWE Performance Center coach Steve Corino, reminiscing about the good old training days. Nostalgic much?
But it doesn’t stop there. Jensen’s antics spilled over to NXT live events. Picture this: June 4, NXT commercial break, and Jensen is having a heated exchange with commentators Booker T and Vic Joseph. Security had to escort him out. Four days later, like a wrestling nomad, he pops up at Bull Pen Pro Wrestling in Bowdon, Georgia. Can someone get this guy a map and a calendar?
