Nick Gage has signed an exclusive, multi-year contract with Game Changer Wrestling, Fightful first reported.

GCW owner Brett Lauderdale said on Twitter that it’s the first and likely last contract GCW will ever offer, and he’s “against the idea of contracts for talent” but made an exception for Gage.

I’ve always been against the idea of contracts for talent in GCW, but there’s an exception to every rule…

This is the first & likely the last contract GCW will ever offer.

Nick has earned the right to finish his career on his terms w/ dignity & a focus on the future he deserves. I’m proud GCW can give him that.

For the hard work, sacrifice & loyalty over 23+ years,

In a statement to Fightful, Lauderdale also added:

This is a major milestone moment for both Nick and GCW. I have always been against the idea of contracts in GCW but there are exceptions to every rule.

From day 1, Nick has put his body, and literally his life on the line for the fans inside the squared circle. He deserves, and has earned the right to be rewarded for 20+ years of hard work and sacrifice.

This historic contract will do just that, allowing him to continue his in-ring career at a pace that is beneficial to his health, while beginning to focus on opportunities that take him towards the next phase of his career.

GCW would not have achieved the level of success it has without Nick F’N Gage, and we are proud to be able to say that GCW will remain Nick’s home for the rest of his career.

Gage has wrestled for GCW since 2015.
