AEW Growing Less Confident in Daniel Garcia Re-Signing – AEW is not as confident as they once were that Daniel Garcia will re-sign with the company.
Last month, it was reported that while Garcia and AEW had not come to terms on a new deal, the promotion believed he was “most likely” staying. However, Dave Meltzer noted on last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, that AEW is no longer as certain as they once were.
Meltzer said, “As far as what’s going to happen with him, I would say this, I would say that the almost surety or the strong confidence that he was signing, I wouldn’t say it’s as strong but I wouldn’t say that he’s leaving either but it’s not as strong as it was a month ago. He may leave.”
Meltzer continued to say that Garcia not being on AEW programming of late is due to his not having re-signed. Meltzer says Tony Khan is often hesitant to put talent on AEW programming if he feels they are likely going to leave the company when their contracts are up.
“If they believe somebody’s not going to sign – and that’s why a lot of the guys that you see or don’t see, there’s a reason that you don’t because the belief is that when their contract is up they are going to go. And if that’s the case, Tony’s just not going to put them on TV. He could go in there and job them but some of them complain. He just didn’t want to put them on TV, in a lot of cases, I think we’ve seen that.”
As noted, WWE is eagerly waiting to sign Garcia if he becomes a free agent at the end of October.
Daniel Garcia is a former ROH Pure Champion and the current PWG World Champion.
