AEW has a lot of talent under contract, some with more upside than others, and one talent is finding himself in the biggest push of his career.
That star is Daniel Garcia, who broke into the business in 2017 and wrestled for various promotions before going to AEW in August 2021. He did work as an enhancement wrestler on an episode of NXT by losing to Tyler Rust in January 2021.
While in AEW, Garcia was part of Chris Jericho’s Jericho Appreciation Society alongside Jake Hager, Angelo Parker, Matt Menard, Sammy Guevara, Tay Melo, and Anna Jay. Garcia has been receiving a babyface run lately, including a big angle this past week on Dynamite when MJF turned heel and laid him out.
Fightful had previously reported, “Garcia’s AEW contract was set to expire in the fall of 2024, at least as of earlier this year.” Dave Meltzer provided an update in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Meltzer wrote, “Garcia’s contract is up in October unless he just signed. Those we’ve asked about it who know him don’t expect him to be leaving.” MJF is slated to address his actions in the opening segment of this week’s Collision.
