A recent report suggests an AEW performer signed a contract with the promotion over an offer from WWE.
Last week on AEW Collision, Hologram was haunted by his ‘evil twin’, who wore similar attire but in black from head to toe. The imposter’s identity was later revealed to be Arez, a lucha libre star from AAA.
Luchablog confirmed his identity and highlighted that WWE was impressed by the 33-year-old’s performances. It cited that the company had extended an offer while AEW had also approached him. And Arez opted for All Elite Wrestling over the global juggernaut.
