Former TNA Wrestling star Ace Austin made his AEW debut during last Saturday night’s episode of Collision and was officially announced as being “All Elite,” confirming his status with the company.
According to Fightful Select, Austin has signed a multi-year contract with AEW. He left TNA in May after his contract with the promotion expired. Although TNA wanted to keep him, they were unable to reach an agreement on financial terms. The report also noted that Austin had been teaming with Chris Bey in TNA, whose contract would have ended as well if not for a serious neck injury he sustained in October of last year.
Furthermore, the report states that Bey’s TNA contract is nearing its conclusion, but he is still with the company and continues to be paid under his current deal.
