Latest Update On Daniel Garcia’s AEW’s Contract Status After He Was Written Off Television

During the July 3 episode of Dynamite, MJF fully embraced his heel persona by brutally attacking Daniel Garcia after he’d just wrestled Will Ospreay. Subsequently, it would be confirmed that this was done because Garcia’s contract expires in October, and he hadn’t decided whether to re-sign or explore his options elsewhere. And now, in news that won’t make AEW fans happy, Fightful Select has reported that he still hadn’t committed his future to Tony Khan’s promotion as of last week.

“One top name in the company believed he was staying and speculated he’d re-signed, but as of last week, that wasn’t the case … There is interest in Daniel Garcia from WWE, as well as interest in retaining him in All Elite Wrestling.”

Despite having worked matches for WWE, it was AEW who signed the 25-year-old to a full-time contract after he impressed during their now-defunct YouTube show Dark. From there, he would join the Jericho Appreciation Society, which saw him become regularly featured on television, leading to a storyline about him potentially switching allegiances and joining the Blackpool Combat Club. Yet, while many fans thought he was more suited to the other stable, he remained part of Jericho’s faction and would win the ROH Pure Championship from Wheeler Yuta.
