Nick Wayne, 17, signed with AEW last year when he was just 16 years old and is waiting until he’s 18 to start wrestling for the promotion.
While speaking on the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, he detailed his contract and noted that he’d be working for AEW starting this July.
“As of right now, I can’t do any in-ring work with AEW until I turn 18, which will be this July,” Wayne said. “From last February until July, it’s just a learning experience, trying to learn TV wrestling and how AEW does things around here.”
Wayne was given an AEW contract offer when Allin Darby showed up after Wayne’s match with Christopher Daniels at a DEFY Wrestling event in February 2020.
“I had no clue [Allin] was here or in town or anything,” Wayne added. “And he did something with Daniels, then he got on the microphone, he was talking for a bit, and then he pulled a paper out of his pocket and it was the AEW contract. I said ‘yes’ in front of the fans and it blew up online. I was trending like No. 7 in the world on Twitter for this contract.”
