It was reported this week that Bandido was signed by All Elite Wrestling but it seems that is not the case.
Chris Jericho defended the ROH Championship against Bandido in the main event of last week\’s episode of AEW Dynamite. Jericho retained the title in a match that received rave reviews from critics and fans.
The 27-year-old was immediately offered a contract following his match with Chris Jericho. Fightful reported on Wednesday that he had agreed to terms on a new deal with All Elite Wrestling.
However, Bandido himself has stated that he has not signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. He noted that he will likely wind up in AEW, but hasn\’t signed yet and has received an offer from WWE as well.
In an interview with Más Lucha, Bandido said that after his match with Jericho on Dynamite eight days ago, Tony Khan and Chris pulled him aside after the match. Bandido claimed that Tony said \”I need you in AEW\” during the conversation.
