Joey Ryan reportedly has recently turned down a contract offer from All Elite Wrestling, according to SoCalUncensored.com, citing multiple sources.

Ryan has been a regular on Being the Elite, so the expectation was that he would end up in AEW after finally being released from his Lucha Underground in March. But WWE reportedly also made an offer to Ryan, where he would wrestle in NXT then eventually become a coach.

Ryan will be making an official announcement regarding the future of his career at Bar Wrestling’s Pickle Jar Hero event this Thursday, May 30th in Baldwin Park, California.
