Below are a couple of top AEW & WWE news stories.
• According to Fightful Select, Shawn Spears (fka Tye Dillinger in WWE) is leaving AEW.
His contract expires on January 1st 2024 and his departure is amicable, there’s no heat between him and All Elite Wrestling.
Spears signed with the company in 2019. He last wrestled on the All Out Zero Hour and hasn’t appeared on Dynamite in over a year.
This obviously has begun speculation that Triple H will bring him back to WWE as entry #10 in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match, as his gimmick in WWE was the “Perfect 10”.
