AEW Officially Signs the Varsity Blonds

AEW
Jul 12, 2021

AEW has officially signed The Varsity Blonds – Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison – to full-time contracts, AEW announced today.

Both had been working for AEW on per-date deals, but are now signed full time.

Pillman had been under contract with Major League Wrestling, but his deal with them reportedly expired around this past week. Pillman last wrestled for MLW in March.

The third member of the Varsity Blonds, Julia Hart, was not mentioned in AEW’s announcement, so she’s presumably not under a full time deal with AEW at this time.

Pillman made his AEW debut in the Battle Royale at Double or Nothing in May 2019, while Garrison debuted in AEW on AEW Dark in June 2020.
