Former TNA Champion has now officially joined AEW.
28-year-old Ace Austin parted ways with TNA Wrestling earlier this year in May, effectively finishing his six-year-long run with the promotion.
Making several indie wrestling appearances since then, Austin has now finally become an All Elite. Sighted earlier today during the August 14th Collision taping, it was later confirmed by Fightful and Tony Khan that the former multi-time TNA Champion has now signed with All Elite Wrestling.
Enjoying a successful career, Austin has appeared across several promotions but has yet to appear in AEW. With him now officially a part of the roster, fans might soon see the former tag-team champion make his All Elite debut.
While a successful singles star, fans vividly remember Ace Austin for his impressive tag-team run with Chris Bey.
Tony Khan Would Want To Sign This WWE Star To AEW
Recently, while speaking to The Superstar Crossover, AEW President Tony Khan opened up about a wrestler from any era of the pro-wrestling industry he would like to sign to AEW.
Steve Austin. If you could get Steve Austin in the 90s and just have Steve Austin for the decade of the 90s, he’s the greatest ever. He’s a great human. I love Steve Austin. He was very nice to me, haven’t seen him in a long time. He was very kind to have me on his show after the original Double or Nothing and I am one of the biggest fans of his, and I think Steve Austin’s the biggest wrestling star of all time.
If you could pick any era of person and just if you had Steve Austin with you throughout the 90s, even though his persona evolved from Stunning Steve to Superstar Steve to the Ringmaster to Stone Cold Steve Austin, he’s one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
If I had ever been fortunate enough to work with any iteration of Steve Austin, particularly in the 90s or early 2000s, I would count myself very fortunate. I’m very fortunate and consider myself very lucky for many reasons, but also lucky just to have met Steve Austin and had a nice chat with him.
He actually was very positive about the original Double or Nothing. I did his show after the first Double or Nothing in 2019, over six years ago, and he was incredibly positive about the show and I think he’s the greatest wrestling star of all time.”
