Didn’t he say he was going to retire soon and the last contract was going to be his last? If he does go to AEW, I can just see it be a 1 year deal or just work at AEW without a contract(just have a few matches)
This is a clear sign he wants the Bucks to retire him. 😜
I don't see it, he has always been very sure he is retiring before he runs out of steam so to speak. I think he may have signed the extension due to him likely ending his career with an injury had he not(his last contract would have ended before his return). I still expect him to retire when this deal is done.
I don't know whats gonna happen, but if it comes down to it, trade Jericho for AJ Styles. Both sides win.
 
AJ has said he doesn't want to go beyond 50, and he's 48 now. Now, to be clear, wrestlers lie or change their mind all the time. Remember when Edge was acting like he didn't know how much he had left towards the end of his WWE run, only to show up in AEW and now has been wrestling more than ever (for better or worse).

I don't ever try to figure out what a wrestler is thinking or how they're feeling, but AJ going either way wouldn't surprise me. If he goes to AEW, he can set up a couple year run there for himself and work Omega, Ospreay (when healthy), Fletcher, and others on the way out. And if he's in WWE, he can work around the midcard like they've been having him do recently and I'm sure he'll have some kind of job afterwards if he wants it.
 
I think it would be a terrible look for AEW to sign Del Rio given how big of a deal Khan has made calling WWE, the harvey weinstein of pro wrestling only to sign someone like Del Rio.


This is why Del Rio shouldn't be signed by ANYONE imo
I had a hearty as hell laugh when TK said that WWE is the "Harvey Weinstein" of Professional Wrestling.

It's not that he's necessarily "wrong", but I remember Tony glorifying/promoting the Knight/Bevis Family (who have a long history of doing some very shady and naughty stuff) and gaslighting the public into thinking they were "heroes" at the biggest show in AEW's history, while once again promoting them at the next All In London show months after the Weinstein comments.

I agree that Del Rio shouldn't be signed to ANY company given his terrible reputation, but TK isn't all that clean when it comes to promoting certain wrestlers, even calling the Knight family during a Media Call "wrestling royalty in the UK" is a massive fucking yikes in my humble opinion.

When you bring in a convicted (not alleged #metoo’d) rapist — Mike Tyson — you can’t claim the moral high ground.

He was wrong, had he said Vince McMahon is the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling, he would have been right. Also this was said just after Vince sold the last of his shares with TKO so he had nothing to do with the WWE when Khan said it. It was just him trying to play the Saivor of Pro Wrestling and acting like AEW is better then WWE morally when really they aren't. Let's just say one of AEW big stars(Will Ospreay) teamed up with someone who was accused of sleeping with a 16 year old when he would have been 26(Paul Robinson) and that happened after it all came out.
