Update on AEW signing (Patreon)

A WWE veteran is under AEW contract.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned that Tehuti Miles, also known as Ashante “Thee” Adonis is officially under All Elite Wrestling contract. We’re told that he was signed in the first week of September, although he appeared on the March 1 ROH tapings.

Miles’ WWE contract expired on August 10, and he was signed to AEW within a month. There were some that were surprised without him working independent dates, which hasn’t happened a lot with ex-WWE talent coming into AEW the last year or so. AEW has also been very measured with who they sign coming straight from WWE.

We’re told that Miles was expected to have interest from TNA Wrestling after the success of fellow Hit Row alumni AJ Franics in the company, but we didn't hear of specific talks.
