Ace Austin has officially joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), marking a significant shift in his wrestling career. His debut occurred on the latest episode of Collision, where it was confirmed that he signed a multi-year contract with the organization. This development comes after Austin’s departure from TNA in May 2023, where negotiations for a new deal reportedly fell short over financial terms.
Austin’s move to AEW is expected to enhance the competition within the promotion, as he brings a unique style and a strong fan base. According to Fightful Select, Austin’s contract is structured for multiple years, allowing AEW to build storylines around his character and skills.
Chris Bey’s Contract Situation with TNA
Chris Bey, who previously teamed with Austin in TNA, faces his own contract uncertainties. His deal would have ended if not for a serious neck injury sustained in October 2022. While Bey remains with TNA, he is currently being compensated under his existing contract, which is nearing its conclusion.
The injury significantly impacted Bey’s career trajectory, leaving TNA with mixed feelings about retaining him. Although the promotion hopes to keep him, the financial discussions will be critical as his contract approaches its end.
Both Austin and Bey have made notable contributions to TNA, and their next moves could shape their futures in professional wrestling. The wrestling community will be keenly watching how these developments unfold and what they mean for the respective promotions involved.
