• AEW Wrestler Leaves & Immediately Joins Another Promotion

Lady Frost has officially left All Elite Wrestling to join Major League Wrestling. Her contract with AEW expired at midnight on April 1, making her a free agent immediately. MLW didn’t waste any time, reaching out to the veteran wrestler right away to get a deal done.

According to Fightful Select, MLW officials were reportedly “very excited” to sign her and had been interested in her for a while. Frost brings a lot of value to the roster, having wrestled for major promotions like TNA, CMLL, and AEW.

While there’s no word on exactly how long her new contract is, she is already scheduled to appear at several upcoming MLW TV tapings.

• Real Reason AEW Wrestler Is Facing Homelessness

Willie Mack is airing his frustrations with AEW after a major change to his contract left him struggling to make ends meet. He posted on X that he is facing homelessness because “the booker” doesn’t think he’s worth the money. He even used the company’s own slogan, #WhereTheBestWrestle, to take a sarcastic jab at the promotion.

According to Fightful Select, the reason for Mack’s anger comes down to a significant pay cut. For the last two years, Mack was on a full-time, salaried contract. Recently, AEW moved him back to a “Tier Zero” deal, which means he only gets paid if he actually wrestles.

This is a huge problem because Mack hasn’t been booked for a single AEW or ROH match in 2026. His last AEW TV appearance was over a year ago.

While he is technically still under contract and allowed to work independent shows, past issues (like a 2024 falling out between AEW and GCW) have made it harder for him to find steady work elsewhere.
