ACH is making his return to the indie scene in a big way.
The former NXT superstar has been making rounds on the indie circuit since his WWE release, with his latest stop being AAW (All American Wrestling) last week at its Unstoppable event on Nov. 30 in Chicago, Illinois.
The 31-year-old had a lengthy stint with the promotion before WWE, with ACH being able to capture the top prize of the company, which is the AAW Heavyweight Championship. He’s also won the AAW Heritage Championship twice during his time with the company.
ACH made his return in a six-man tag team match, teaming with The Besties In The World (Davey Vega & Mat Fitchett) to take on Sami Callihan, Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz. The trio would win the match-up and then ACH would make a statement once the match was said and done (Transcript courtesy of

"A lot of people don't understand what 'For the Culture' means, there's gonna take that word, culture, and their gonna spin it to what they want, and that's okay," ACH said to the live crowd. "That's the power of it. But what people have to understand this is the culture. These upper echelon, these billionaires believe they know what you want, but they don't know what you want because they don't come to places like this.
"They don't see the passionate fan. In fact, you go there and you get tired of what they feed you. Because this is what you want! AAW is what you wanted! Indie professional wrestling is what you want! ... So, you can take your contracts, you can shred them because I won't sign another one. I believe in the people because the people believe in me. So let it be known, it is us versus the machine, indie wrestling versus the machine."
