Exclusive: Shawn Spears To Get A Manager On AEW Programming

Shawn Spears could be getting a second, if chatter about his status is true.

Spears has developed into one of All Elite Wrestling's top heels after the last two events, wrapping a steel chair around the head of Cody Rhodes and picking up a big six-man tag team win just a couple of weeks later. As his feud with Rhodes heats up going towards All Out, Fightful has learned of some plans for the former Tye Dillinger.

Fightful Select has learned that Spears will be getting a manager, a fact that is slated to come to light officially on this week's episode of "Road To." We don't know the identity of the manager, or even if they'll be revealed.

Before nicknaming himself "The Chairman," Spears attacked his former friend Rhodes with a steel chair at AEW's Fyter Fest, with a tweet later implying that he didn't appreciate Cody's comment that he was a "good hand." The two are slated to do battle on August 31 at All Elite Wrestling's "All Out" at the Sears Centre near Chicago.
