Wrestler agrees to terms with AEW
Added 2022-10-05 17:14:55 +0000 UTCSome good news emanating from AEW.
Fightful Select has learned that former Ring of Honor World Champion Bandido has agreed to terms with All Elite Wrestling. Bandido debuted for the company on short notice in an ROH World Title match on the 9/28 Dynamite episode in a losing effort against Chris Jericho that got positive reviews. We haven't heard that Bandido has officially signed, but he was offered a deal last week, and those close to him say that he's agreed to terms.
Fightful Select reported this past weekend that Bandido was booked on short notice and struggled to get gear in time for the match. A chain of events unfolded that led to him piecing together what he wore for the evening. Several that were backstage spoke highly of Bandido's demeanor and attitude in the situation, from not being able to get his gear, to being brought in to lose. He was visibly excited after the match and hugged Tony Khan.
We've heard there had been interest from numerous companies about signing Bandido in recent months. AEW has not confirmed the news to Fightful.

2022-10-05 17:27:44 +0000 UTCGood news. I’d rather see him in a place like Impact but AEW has way better exposure so it’s good for him. I just hope they actually use him and not just bring him in for a big match every two months and then put him on Dark.
