Austin Aries has come out and revealed the reasoning for him being present in Atlanta for AEW Dynamite.
Originally, according to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net, Aries and Diamond Dallas Page were at AEW Dynamite trying to get AEW to buy into a stem cell treatment venture that they are part of. Aries initially denied the report, but then would reach out to Haynes later on and revealed that he was in Atlanta on February 19 to try and get AEW to buy into a collaboration with BioXcellerator.
?I work for BioX. I did have meetings about partnerships and collaborations with both DDP and DDPY Brand as well as AEW," Aries told Haynes in a later report.
In a recent Instagram post that Aries posted, and sent to Haynes when Aries reached out to him, Aries revealed that he joined BioXcellerator as Director of Athletic Performance Division.
Wrestlers have taken to stem cell treatment in past few years with Rey Mysterio, Brian Cage, John Morrison, Rob Van Dam, and more undergoing stem cell treatment to help prolong their careers and deal with past injuries.
Page has a DDP Yoga studio based in Georgia and is a regular at AEW events due to his relationship with Cody Rhodes. Page has also been featured on AEW television in past months, including wrestling a match on the Bash at the Beach (January 15) episode of AEW Dynamite. Aries last wrestled for Major League Wrestling and is currently a free agent.
