In perhaps surprising news, Joey Ryan has reportedly turned down a contract from All Elite Wrestling. The controversial indie star has been a big part of ‘Being The Elite’ storylines and Ryan even made a memorable entrance at All In last September.
It was originally believed that that the top indie star would be heading to the all-new promotion; however,
SoCal Uncensored revealed that Ryan turned down a contract offer from the company. It was reported shortly after his release from Lucha Underground that WWE management approached Ryan about a position as one of the coaches down in NXT, an offer that many believed that Ryan would pass on in favor of AEW.
