Former AEW star Dan Lambert has discussed his decision to move on from the company, saying that he thought his character was becoming ‘stale.’
Lambert made his AEW debut with American Top Team in 2021, before becoming the mouthpiece for AEW stars Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Lambert discussed his decision to ‘wind down’ from his on-screen appearances:
“Not now (Lambert said he’s not currently working with AEW). About 2 months ago, we finished up our feud with the Men of the Year, we had Scorpio Sky drop the belt to Wardlow. Sky was going to take a couple of months off because he had a knee injury that needed to heal.
“Page was being repackaged so he could do what he is doing now with The Firm and with MJF. So I thought that it was a good time to wind down, I thought that I was getting stale.”
Lambert added that he’d be open to a potential return to AEW in the future:
“The reactions were still good, but I just grabbed Tony after the show and said that I think this has run its course. I don’t want to go backwards or overstay my welcome.
“He was like, ‘Yeah man, sure. If you have an idea for something in the future then come back, then sure, whatever, call me.’ If Tony called me tomorrow and had a good idea and I liked it then sure, I’ll do it.”
