In a stunning turn of events on Wednesday, Roderick Strong appeared on AEW Dynamite, and revealed he had signed with the company and is now All Elite.
During tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Adam Cole, Orange Cassidy, and Bandido found themselves at the receiving end of what looked to be a brutal assault at the hands of the Jericho Appreciation Society. However, Strong came running out, shocking the crowd and everyone in the ring, to save the day before delivering a huge hug to Cole.
While not the biggest superstar, Strong’s move to All Elite Wrestling is still a completely surprising one. Strong was never officially released by WWE, although he did request his release months ago and it was reportedly denied. He’s been out of action on NXT ever since last summer, however, but now it seems like he was officially granted his release.
