When news broke that Shane McMahon had met with Tony Khan about AEW, it garnered some pretty incredible reactions from around the professional world. Some wondered if McMahon would formally sign with the promotion, while others asked if this was nothing more than a way to juice up the hype cycle, but the prevailing thought wasn't so much how Shane-O-Mac would fit in AEW but who he would fit alongside, as at 54, there's basically no way the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion could hang on his own as a singles wrestler.

That appears to be the case again and now we know about more about what the two of them are planning.

Like all pro wrestling promotions, AEW is always looking to bolster its roster with new talent. And now, after he worked two Collision tapings in Canada early this year, Fightful Select has reported that 23-year-old Tommy Billington has signed with AEW. However, it should be noted that the report notes it isn’t known whether he received a full-time contract or is on a per-appearance deal, which is typical for many unestablished talents when they first join AEW. For those unaware, Billington is the nephew of The Dynamite Kid, who worked for WWF, Stampede Wrestling, All Japan, and New Japan, often alongside his cousin Davey Boy Smith. And while he had a terrible reputation due to purposely injuring opponents and bullying those weaker than him in the locker room, he is still regarded as one of the most influential wrestlers ever. Sadly, his legendary career would be cut short while he was in his 30s due to injury, and after being confined to a wheelchair for decades, he passed away in 2018 on his 60th birthday.
