Austin’s arrival comes after his departure from TNA Wrestling in May, ending a nearly seven-year run with the company. During his TNA tenure, he became a three-time X-Division Champion and a three-time Tag Team Champion alongside partner Chris Bey.
Since his TNA deal expired, Austin has kept busy on the independent circuit, competing for promotions such as Pro Wrestling Revolver and RevPro. He now joins fellow former TNA stars Josh Alexander and “Speedball” Mike Bailey as part of AEW’s 2025 roster acquisitions.
Fans can catch Ace Austin’s debut match against Ricochet on AEW Collision this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
