- Eli Drake reportedly took a shot at the Alberto El Patron – Paige controversy at this past Saturday's GFW live event in Staten Island, New York. While cutting a promo to the crowd, Drake asked why anyone would want Alberto representing the company as their champion (h/t PWInsider). As noted, Alberto is currently suspended by GFW as the company conducts their internal investigation into the altercation between the couple at the Orlando airport last month.
