Daniel Garcia has been with All Elite Wrestling since 2021, and the internal belief is that he'll be around for quite some time.
Sources familiar with the situation have confirmed that Daniel Garcia’s AEW contract was set to expire in the fall 2024, at least as of earlier this year. Unless he’s re-signed since then, Garcia could possibly hit free agency at just 26 years old, with years of television experience on ROH and All Elite Wrestling TV. However, one top AEW name said that they don't believe he's going anywhere, and even think he's re-signed.
When we asked directly to those close to Garcia about his contract status, they said that a lot of his future would likely come into focus soon. We did reach out to Garcia, but didn't get a comment on the record or on background for the story.

Garcia had a WWE tryout in January 2021, which we were told went exceptionally well for him, to the point that it landed Garcia an NXT TV match. WWE didn’t sign Garcia, but told him that if anyone else was interested in him, they’d sign him sooner.
Those that we spoke to said that tryout, among some others in 2021, led to WWE running some specific tryouts for wrestlers with in-ring experience.
