Contract status on indie star (Patreon)

KJ Orso is still a free agent…for now.

KJ Orso had a breakout 2025, in large part to his unmasking after portraying the Fuego Del Sol character for years. His feud with Sam Stackhouse also helped him put a stamp on a career year on the independents.

Orso appeared on the Countdown to TNA Genesis on January 17. However, we were told that as of then, he had not signed a contract with the company. TNA sources said he made a good impression, but so far he has not been offered a contract.

We’re told in the past, AEW has kept the door open for KJ Orso to return as well, but we’ve not heard any movement on that lately.
