A new report provides an update on Daniel Garcia‘s contract status and WWE‘s interest.
AEW star Daniel Garcia last wrestled on the July 3 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he lost to Will Osopreay. MJF then took him out with a post-match attack, and he has not been seen on AEW programming since.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful (via Fightful Select) previously reported that Daniel Garcia’s contract was set to expire in October, barring a deal being reached. In an update, Sapp writes that, as of last week, he had not re-signed with a company. As noted, this would see Garcia’s deal expire this fall. Per Sapp, a top name in AEW believed that he was staying and speculated that he had re-signed, but this was not the case as of last week.
Sapp writes that there is interest in Daniel Garcia from WWE, and AEW is also interested in keeping him.
Garcia previously had a WWE tryout, and he signed with AEW in 2021. He is a former ROH Pure Champion. Garcia had a prominent run alongside Chris Jericho in the Jericho Appreciation Society before he broke out as a singles star.
Daniel Garcia is not the only AEW star with a contract that is set to expire. As previously reported, the Lucha Brothers’ deals are coming up. They are reportedly expected to leave, and they have increasingly been linked to WWE.
WrestleZone will provide more information about Daniel Garcia’s status as it becomes available.
