Ace Austin Reflects on His Signing with AEW

As noted before, this past Saturday’s AEW Collision show featured former TNA talent Ace Austin making his official debut in AEW. Following his match against Ricochet on the show, AEW CEO Tony Khan confirmed that Austin has been signed to an official contract with the company.

Austin reflected earlier today on Twitter about his recent debut in AEW and thanked the fans for the incredible support they have shown towards him.

Yeah guys; unfortunately I didn’t “win” my @AEW debut match.

Which just means I have to try harder & be smarter next week because what I did “win” was a sweet contract that will give me more chances to win matches & make a nice living on a huge stage.

AEW is full of unbelievably skilled talent; I knew it wouldn’t be easy but I am more than up for the challenge.

Thank you for the incredible love & support. It means the world to me.

Thank you for the hate & whining too. It keeps my name trending 🤗
