Dax Harwood has revealed that Tommy Billington had interest from both WWE and AEW.
Billington, who is the nephew of the original Dynamite Kid, signed with AEW last week.
Taking to Instagram Live, Harwood revealed that Billington also had interest from WWE. He said,
“I hope he doesn’t mind me saying this, but he told me about some of his financial woes. He moved himself all the way to Canada to better his opportunities for wrestling. He told me about his financial woes. I told him that night, ‘After tonight, we’re going to get you a job.’”
Dax continued, “We had the match. Obviously, he showed out. He was offered a contract on the spot, right there. He didn’t accept just yet, but he was offered a contract on the spot. The very next day WWE also reached out to someone close to Tommy, and asked about getting him there. There was, I don’t want to say a bidding war, but there was a bit of power plays. Tom decided he wanted to come to AEW. I think you’ll see more of Tom Billington in AEW to come.”
