Ortiz Says He Has About A Year Left On Current AEW Contract
Ortiz was part of the first ever AEW show, making his debut at AEW Double or Nothing 2019. He was a regular during the early years of AEW, but hasn’t had a match in AEW since January 2024.
Speaking to Wombreezy, Ortiz was asked about his current contract status with AEW.
“As of right now, I have about a year left with the company. Give or take on this current contract. I would love to stay there. I love working at AEW. I’ve been coaching and doing producing, which is learning a different skill and will give you longevity. It’s also making me be a better wrestler because I’m helping people call matches and I’m analyzing it from a different lens. I’m really enjoying that. It’s something I wanted to do anyway, and now I’m getting the opportunity to do it there. Even if I stay on purely to do coaching and producing, and I can still wrestle, I’m happy. If they keep me, I would stay,” he said.
Ortiz is active on the independent scene.
Eddie Kingston recently stated that he was hoping to get Ortiz back on AEW TV. You can find his full comments here.
