Ace Austin has officially joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), confirming his departure from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Austin made his AEW debut during the latest episode of Collision, where he was announced as a new signing with the promotion. According to a report from Fightful Select, Austin has secured a multi-year contract with AEW, marking a significant step in his wrestling career.
Austin left TNA in May 2023, following negotiations that failed to reach a conclusion on financial terms. TNA expressed a desire to retain him, but the two sides could not agree on a suitable arrangement. His move to AEW is seen as a promising opportunity for the talented wrestler, who has built a strong reputation in the industry.
In tandem, the future of Chris Bey, Austin’s former tag team partner in TNA, remains uncertain. Bey’s contract with TNA would have expired had it not been for a serious neck injury he sustained in October 2022. Although he continues to be on TNA’s roster, his contract is nearing its end. Reports indicate that he remains under contract and is still receiving compensation.
Austin’s transition to AEW is part of a broader trend in the wrestling world, where talent is increasingly exploring opportunities across different promotions. AEW’s growing roster and commitment to diverse wrestling styles have made it an attractive destination for wrestlers seeking new challenges.
The wrestling community will be watching closely as both Austin and Bey navigate this pivotal period in their careers. With Austin’s new role in AEW and Bey’s ongoing situation with TNA, fans can expect to see significant developments in the coming months.
