Following his surprise debut on the August 16 episode of AEW Collision, a new report from Fightful Select has confirmed that former TNA star Ace Austin has signed a multi-year contract with All Elite Wrestling. The report also provided an update on the status of his former tag team partner, Chris Bey.
Ace Austin’s New AEW Contract
According to the report, the deal between Austin and AEW is a multi-year agreement. This comes after his contract with TNA Wrestling expired earlier this year. TNA was reportedly hopeful they could retain him, but the two sides were unable to agree on financial terms.
The Chris Bey TNA Contract Situation
The report also shed light on the status of Austin’s former “ABC” tag team partner, Chris Bey. According to TNA sources, Bey’s contract would have also been nearing its end if not for an unfortunate in-ring accident that has him currently on the sidelines. The report notes that Bey is still considered to be with TNA and is being paid under the terms of his existing deal while he recovers.
Austin’s signing marks the end of his successful seven-year run with TNA, where he was a three-time X-Division Champion and a three-time World Tag Team Champion. He is the latest high-profile free agent to join the AEW roster.
