It looks like Brian Cage will be sticking around in All Elite Wrestling, at least if he's to be believed.
Word made it around backstage at Wednesday's All Elite Wrestling Dynamite show that Brian Cage had told those close to him that AEW picked up his option year on his contract. Cage was said to have been surprised by this, as he and virtually everyone on the All Elite Wrestling roster thought his deal would simply expire.
Cage continues to work the independent scene for the likes of Revolver, Warrior Wrestling, among others. However, he's not appeared on AEW programming since October, with his last match outside of the Jericho Cruise taking place on the October 8 episode of Rampage. We have no update on a potential on-screen return for him.
We've reached out to All Elite Wrestling officials for a confirmation on this, but haven't heard back yet. So far, this is only what Cage himself told others.
vaccine mandates are starting to disappear in the US cities that had them.

Just use him as a jobber. Make the winners look credible.

>We've reached out to All Elite Wrestling officials for a confirmation on this Has any of these companies ever actually responded to these journalists reaching out?
Elijah Baker
His run has been weird, seems like they were high on him when he went over Hangman
Jeremiah Cox
I guess they must have something planned for him whenever they get around to bringing him back to TV then...?
Eli Phillips
Had no idea who he was at first thought he looked cool. Then I saw his match with Lucha-dino(If I remember correctly) and it was fucking terrible. He should be fighting like a hoss and he was trying to do manlet/flippy shit.
Zachary Bennett
kek, that Reddit post that leaked that Brian Cage was gonna be the yummy surprise debut on the CYN show just ruined the show. Based Tony signing guys just so others can’t use them, booker of the year and not like Vince at all
Cooper Williams
Oh look the smarks were wrong and everything they said was completely made up.... again
Julian Davis
lol tony did this just to fuck CYN
Xavier Williams
>2018 WWE philosophy vs 2022 WWE philosophy
Zachary Collins
kek imagine if they stick him to the Best Friends and just make him the new Swamp Monster
They basically had to sideline him for a while because of his fucking wife. You can't risk making it look like your wife whining on twitter will help or everyone's starts doing it.
Luis Cox
this fuck that muslim
Isaiah Morales
he had been away for months already
Noah Brown
Amongst the 200 AEW guys under 6 feet he at least stands out so it would be a good deal.
Jonathan Collins
Add him to the ladder match at Revolution

>Cage was said to have been surprised by this >virtually everyone on the All Elite Wrestling roster thought his deal would simply expire >Cage continues to work the independent scene That's why you have to continue to work the indies and getting yourself over there. If you just sit around and whine like Emi Sakura, don't be surprised when they don't use you and eventually cut you
Colton Sullivan
for example, Penta and Fenix dont have that need to "get over" but they never stopped working indies and mexico, just kept on hustlin
Ayden Lee
The honest truth. Keep getting jobs and work in other spots as long as your contract allows. You'll prosper one way or the other down the line. Work at it instead of just waiting for it.
Jordan Scott
Ah, the Lance Archer booking special, I see?
Nicholas Phillips
the cocaine is turning tony into 80's vince kino incoming
Parker Perez
it's so he doesn't blow the whistle on Kanyon grooming him and the young bucks to be his bussy slaves
Jeremiah Cox
How do you know the leaker wasn't Brian himself
Jaxon Gomez
They also have their own apparel line and restaurant.
