On February 19th, episode former WWE, Impact Wrestling and ROH Wrestling Star Austin Aries was backstage at AEW Dynamite in Atlanta, Georgia at the Statefarm Arena. Fans from all over wrestling will know him. The WWE fans will know him from his time in the company. He worked on the NXT brand and had a run on 205 live as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
He feuded mainly with Neville, who is now known as PAC in AEW. Aries also worked on commentary with WWE and did an outstanding job on the commentary team; at least in my opinion. I think he may have another career as a commentator, after his in ring career comes to an end. After his last run with WWE he returned to Impact Wrestling where he once again had another run as the Impact World Champion; back two years ago in 2018. After that he would proceed to leave Impact Wrestling again but since that time he’s been showing up on the independent scene and is currently now a free agent. He is free to sign with any promotion he chooses to work for once again and it will definitely be interesting to see his decision. I definitely miss seeing him in the ring every week competing on live television.
What Does this Mean?
Austin Aries being backstage at AEW two Wednesdays ago, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s for sure signing with them. However, it does start the speculation of what his next move will be. Will he choose to sign with AEW, the hot new company in wrestling ? Will he return to WWE or ROH or will he stay on the independent circuit? We don’t know but one thing for sure no matter, what he chooses or who he signs with they are getting an elite level talent and competitor.
