Farewell: AEW Star Not Likely Returning To The Company

Maybe later. AEW has quite the talent roster, comprised of a varying mixture of wrestlers. This includes established veterans, current top stars and young up and coming talent. With so much talent available, it is impossible to keep track of everyone and sometimes a wrestler might not be able to fit in on the roster. That is the case again and you might not be seeing a young star again.

According to Fightful, Jake Atlas is not expected back with AEW in the future. Atlas has not appeared with the company since he tore his ACL in January. Despite being shown in the “Jake Atlas Is All Elite” graphic that normally means that he is signed to a contract, Atlas was on a per appearance deal. Since then, Atlas has been arrested for domestic violence. AEW has not commented on Atlas’ situation.

Opinion: I don’t know how much of a surprise that this is as Atlas has not been seen or mentioned in AEW in months. He also was never a top star and then had the injury as well as the legal issues. What else would be expected from AEW in this situation? Atlas is talented, but there does come a point when there are too many things in the way to prevent AEW from taking a change on him.

What do you think of Atlas? Where do you expect him to go next? Let us know in the comments below.
