Erick Redbeard, AKA Erick Rowan, who made an appearance on AEW’s Brodie Lee tribute show on Wednesday, has not signed an AEW contract as of now, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The Observer says that it was just a special appearance for the show, given Rowan’s history with Luke Harper in WWE.
But of course, there’s always the possibility that things can change in the future.
