Tiered wrestler signed to full-time AEW deal
Added 2022-10-27 18:12:02 +0000 UTCAnother tiered deal in All Elite Wrestling is now full-time.
This past week, Josh Woods was added to the official All Elite Wrestling roster page after working in the company for several months without being listed. After asking around with AEW sources, it was confirmed to Fightful that Woods recently signed a multi-year, full-time contract, which effectively removes him from the free agent market.
Woods had previously worked in NXT, before being released and spending years in Ring of Honor. After Ring of Honor's purchase, he started to work AEW dates, teaming with Tony Nese, and being managed by Smart Mark Sterling. Those that we spoke with said that the deal is three years in length, though we don't know when the contract officially started and if there are option years involved.
Nese and Woods, collectively known as the The Varsity Athletes, competed against the Acclaimed in an AEW World Tag Team Title match on the October 21 episode of AEW Rampage. Woods also wrestled for the ROH Pure Title on AEW Dark back in May after losing the title to Wheeler Yuta at ROH Supercard of Honor.

Not every wrestler needs to be a game changer.

2022-10-27 23:21:08 +0000 UTCHe's been on tv consistently for a while. It's weird learning how long AEW will use non-contracted talent rather than just subbing them out with someone actually in the roster or locking them down
