All Elite Wrestling star Alan Angels was recently interviewed by Fightful to discuss several professional wrestling topics.
During the interview, Angels confirmed that his contract with AEW will be expiring on June 30th and he’ll become a free agent.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his contract expiring on June 30:
“I was told about a month and a half ago that they are not going to re-sign me. They did offer me a per-appearance, which I decided not to take, just solely based off what I thought was best for me. I feel there is more room to grow outside of AEW, right now, at this point in my career. It’s nothing against AEW or Tony Khan or any of the higher-ups in the business. It’s a personal thing.”
On wanting to build his name up on the indies:.
“On top of that, I never got to have a great Indie career. I was on the Indies for three years, got lucky, and got scooped up. As a wrestling fan, being an Indie wrestler and doing cool ass Indie shows, that’s a thing I want to do. There are plenty of places to make money in pro wrestling right now.”
On his cryptic Tweet about his future:
“It was literally just a normal tweet, at first. Then I saw some people speculating some stuff and I was like, ‘You know what, my contract is up in a few days, I’m just going to run with it.’ Then I turned my profile picture black, took the AEW out of my bio, and really just stirred the pot because I love watching people freak out on social media. People were hitting me up, asking if I was okay. Yeah, I’m fine, I just like watching people freak out on the internet.”
