Frankie Kazarian was pushed alongside Scorpio Sky and Christopher Daniels as part of SCU from the beginning of AEW in 2019. They were the first-ever Tag Team Champions, but after SCU split up in 2021, things changed for all three members of the group.
Scorpio Sky went on to become a two-time TNT Champion while Daniels shifted to a backstage role and Kazarian was used as a veteran to help out younger talent.
While appearing speaking with Eric Bischoff on a recent AdFreeShows Q&A show, Kaz spoke about leaving AEW for Impact Wrestling.
“I wanted to give that time to somebody that would value it. I felt at the time in AEW, my time, my contributions, and my talent was not being valued and that’s okay because I had the opportunity to take my time and give it to somebody else and that’s exactly what I did. I’m not a guy that’s wired to sit on the bench, you know? I’m a guy that should be in the starting lineup. It’s not being egotistical to say that because it’s true and I proved that.”
Kazarian returned to Impact at the Hard to Kill pay-per-view where he announced that he had signed with a promotion that he previously had a successful run with.
