Gabe Kidd made it clear he has no interest in facing anyone currently on the WWE roster, dismissing the entire company’s talent pool in blunt fashion during a fan Q&A session on his Instagram Stories on November 2, 2026.
According to Ringside News, Kidd was answering questions from followers while waiting for a connecting flight when the topic of a potential WWE opponent came up. Asked directly which WWE wrestler he would like to face, Kidd did not hesitate. “None of ’em; they’re all s***,” he wrote, a response relayed across multiple outlets including Fightful, Wrestling Headlines, and eWrestlingNews.
The comment arrives amid persistent fan speculation about what a hypothetical AEW-WWE crossover card might look like, with dream matches between the two promotions’ biggest stars frequently debated online. Kidd’s answer effectively closed the door on that conversation as far as he is concerned, offering no names and no caveats.
Kidd is no stranger to this kind of blunt, unfiltered commentary. As outlets covering the story noted, he has built a reputation for speaking his mind on social media without concern for the discourse it generates, and this exchange follows that same pattern. Rather than naming a dream opponent or playing into the usual promotional back-and-forth between rival companies’ fanbases, he used the moment to flatly reject the premise of the question itself.
There is no indication from any of the reports that Kidd’s comments were tied to a specific storyline, contract situation, or upcoming event. The remarks appear to have originated purely from a casual fan interaction rather than any official promotional angle, and no response from WWE or any of its talent has been reported in connection with the comments.
Kidd, known within AEW circles for his association with the Death Riders faction, continues to be a polarizing figure whose outspoken nature regularly generates headlines independent of his in-ring schedule. Whether this exchange has any lasting impact on cross-promotional discussion remains to be seen, but for now, Kidd has made his stance on facing WWE talent unambiguous.
