Scrapped Pitch For WWE Kidnapping Angle Revealed
Kidnapping save from Progressive Insurance in WWE revealed
Jul 3, 2024
An angle almost played out on WWE TV that would have seen Flo from Progressive Insurance save Reggie from being kidnapped by a mob.
Now going by Sidney Akeem, the former 24/7 Champion revealed to MuscleManMalcolm that he made the pitch to WWE creative during one of his many reigns as champion but the idea was ultimately rejected.
"There was a lot of things left unturned. I had an idea about making a crossover with a 24/7 Title with Progressive, with their 24/7 coverage. Essentially, it would be me escaping the mob. The mob gets me. It was Flo from Progressive. I call her, like, 'Hey, I need help,' and then she comes and helps me, like makes a trampoline appear. I bounce over the guys or whatever, and I'm the longest-running 24/7 Champion because I have 24/7 coverage with Progressive. So, that would have been dope, a missed opportunity. I also wrote - I'm a writer as well - a 24/7 cartoon. Basically, it was everything we were doing but animated," Akeem said.
Akeem was a part of WWE from January 2020 until his contract expired in June 2024. The 31-year-old had multiple characters during his run with the company, including Reginald, Reggie, and Scrypts.
