The Random AEW News Thread

Brian Pillman Jr was spotted in the crowd during AEW Fyter Fest. It was unknown at the time if he wrestled at Daily’s Place as well. Now we know the answer.

AEW revealed that Shawn Spears will take on Brian Pillman Jr next week on AEW Dark. This will mark the second generation pro wrestler’s All Elite Wrestling in-ring debut.

Brian Pillman Jr made a joke about fans spotting him in the crowd. He wore sunglasses so he wondered how they were able to crack his disguise.

MJF was allowed to work for AEW while under MLW contract. His deal was signed prior to AEW becoming a thing. Older MLW contracts say wrestlers can’t work for Impact Wrestling , ROH, and WWE. Brian Pillman’s contract has the same wording.

Pillman is still under MLW contract, but it appears he is using the AEW loophole as MJF did before him. AEW has since signed MJF to an exclusive contract.

This is an interesting situation, but it should also be noted that new MLW contracts do list AEW as a prohibited company to work for while under contract.

AEW POSSIBLY AGREES TO MATCH REY MYSTERIO’S WWE CONTRACT DEMANDS

Since Mysterio is working without a contract, he could go anywhere he wants. He is remaining with WWE for now. The Elite obviously sees Mysterio’s value as he was in the main event of All In. They might want him back on a more regular basis.

During Wrestling Observer Radio (transcription by Ringside News), Dave Meltzer discussed Rey Mysterio’s options at this point. He could go to AEW. That might be a place where he and Dominik will not only be protected, but they could also make the same money.

The favorite is [Mysterio] staying [in WWE], but the fact that he’s not signed and they’ve got a number that they want and he’s got a number that he wants, and the reality is that they have not met his number. And, he’s not agreeing to their number that would tell me that it’s amenable to somebody else’s number if somebody else is going to match the number, or match the circumstances.

The one thing is that you never know with Vince. If it were me and I were in Rey’s shoes as far as his own career and his own push and now we’re talking about Dominik I would be more confident with a push in AEW than I would in WWE and being a top guy and not being forgotten as well

Ringside News getting clicks off Dave saying he thought Rey would be a guy they would be willing to match money on

Also at Dave still always talking about AEW's booking like anybody outside of the Elite, Moxley, or Jericho matter & don't get lost in the midcard shuffle.
