If this was WCW, they would have reached an agreement with the worker backstage. Then made him a manager and given him a wrestler, then given him mic time to setup a screwdriver on a pole match. Build it up, then completely drop the angle and pay all parties to stay at home.
I just remember the Tank Abbot match against some nobody where Tank pulled a knife on his opponent and screamed on camera "I'll f$$king kill you". Which made TBS happy. Schiavone tried to cover up by stating Tank was going to cut off his beard. But the wrestler (Big Al) I think was clean shaven.
I can see it in AEW
Commentator 1 - "Oh my god Moxleys got the screwdriver and he's stabbing his opponent with him"
Commentator 2 - "Oh my god, now Moxley is stabbing himself with the screwdriver, and oh wait he's gone after the referee."
Commentator 1 - "I don't think so, Moxley is adjusting their glasses for them what a guy"
