This popular yet highly controversial wrestler has opened up on his employment status.
Later this week on 25th May, controversial NJPW star Gabe Kidd is all set to be a part of AEW Double or Nothing. Scheduled to be a part of Jon Moxley’s team during the Anarchy in the Arena match, Kidd detailed his All Elite Wrestling status.
Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful ahead of Double or Nothing, Kidd claimed that he currently works for Jon Moxley and not the Jacksonville-based promotion.
“I don’t work for AEW. I work for Jon Moxley right now. You can say what you want, but I have my purpose, my vision, my path. That’s what I’m doing right now. Fuck all the noise. It’s about what I’m trying to accomplish, what we are trying to accomplish.”
He further opened up on his relationship with The Death Riders’ leader.
“None of your business. The important thing is that it did, and it happened, and it’s happening. It’s a very crazy collaboration of people getting together and working towards the same goal. Don’t worry about how it came about, just be happy that it did.”

Kidd appeared on the 14th May episode of Dynamite last week, and helped Moxley retain his World Championship against Samoa Joe.
The Young Bucks Reveal Why AEW Is “Easier”
Also reportedly set to be a part of the Anarchy in the Arena match later this week, All Elite Wrestling EVPs, The Young Bucks, recently described why working in NJPW is easier than AEW.
Speaking to Ryan Droste of Sports Illustrated, The Young Bucks said,
“Nick Jackson: I’d say the biggest difference for us wrestling for NJPW instead of AEW has to be less obligations. So when we wrestle for them, we only have to focus on being wrestlers. So it’s a lot easier for preparation.
Matt Jackson: NJPW has always been most known for its strong style, hard hitting wrestling matches. If you’re a talent and you’re backstage, expect to wrestle that night. AEW could be different. You might be needed for a week, only to do a quick pre-taped promo to progress a story or show a character beat. And in AEW, it’s an all you can eat buffet of different styles, and it’s all condensed into a quick two hour television show with multiple commercial breaks. I guess it’s non-TV vs. TV, which in turn makes the two products feel completely different.”
