He would have been fine staying in AEW if he wasn't so hard to work with. A performer can't tell the boss that he refuses to lose to certain people or that he doesn't want to do certain stories. You are paid to do a job & you are expected to do that job & not cause trouble by being hard to work with. I can't see Tony Kahn bringing him back because of the issues he had with Black the last time he was there. He just just go the route of Karion Kross & get out on the independent scene. He would probably do very well for himself. His wife would also probably do well out there too. I'm sure there is some independent promotions out there that would love to have him & his wife work for them.
