The contract details for an exciting new AEW signing have been revealed.
Bandido was offered a contract with AEW after his match against Chris Jericho on the September 28 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite.
He also received interest from WWE following this match.
It was recently confirmed that Bandido had officially signed with AEW and now some interesting details regarding his contract have been revealed.
The details also shed some light on why Bandido ultimately chose AEW over WWE.
As per Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“We can confirm the deal is for three years and has a maximum number of dates on it (we don’t have the number but it is more matches than most AEW wrestlers work in a year now, so that shouldn’t be an issue, but that could change if they do house shows).
“In the end, he realized he couldn’t sign with WWE because he’s got a child in Mexico and his significant other doesn’t want to move from Mexico and he doesn’t want to not see his child all the time. Working for WWE, where they’d want him in NXT at first, would require him to be based in Florida, and if/when he got to the main roster he’d be away from home far more than in AEW.”
Bandido is set to return to AEW to face Rush during AEW Rampage on November 11 (which was taped on November 9).
The match is part of the World Title Eliminator Tournament, with the winner receiving a world title match at AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming.
The winner of the Bandido vs Rush will go on to face Ethan Page, who defeated Eddie Kingston on AEW Dynamite on November 9.
The final will take place at AEW Full Gear on Saturday, November 19.
The title shot is scheduled to take place on December 14.
