There have been a lot of wrestlers to wrestle in AEW/ROH, whether they’ve been homegrown talent, wrestlers from other promotions and veterans.
There have been plenty of former WWE names working in the company, from Chris Jericho to Jon Moxley to CM Punk and Bryan Danielson. One former WWE star may be the latest person to do so after starting to work for AEW as a producer/coach.
Chris Hero first made a name for himself on the independent wrestling scene and in ROH before going to WWE with his stint from 2011-2013. He returned in 2016 for his second run, where he was used in NXT in addition to working for the NXT UK brand before being released in April 2020 due to budget cuts. He hasn’t wrestled since.
A few weeks ago, he started working as a producer on the AEW Collision brand, something he recently confirmed on Twitter.
While responding to a fan on Twitter regarding the idea of Hero being part of the July 19th Blood & Guts Match, AEW President noted, “I’m chipping away on him.”
Khan added, “I can’t say for sure if I’ll ever get him, but I’ll keep chipping away at him on a weekly basis, and hopefully someday he’ll crack. Either way, I love working with him.”
