During tonight’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view, Frankie Kazarian announced that he has signed a long-term deal with Impact Wrestling.
So what happened? PWInsider reports that after Kaz had the 40+ minute match with Josh Alexander, he asked to be released from his AEW contract and it was an amicable situation.
Kazarian asked to be released because he wanted the opportunity to push himself harder during the latter part of his career. During tonight’s pay-per-view, Kazarian talked about deciding on whether to be complacent and be with “people he thought were friends” or he could choose to push himself.
PWInsider added that everything Kaz said tonight is true and on the way out of AEW he “did business the right way” and the door is open for him to return at some point.
