Claudio Castagnoli is now a dual contract holder.
CMLL recently published a new video with the company's reigning World Heavyweight Championship Claudio, and current General Manager and Owner of the company, Salvador Lutteroth III.
During the video, they announced that the AEW star has officially signed a new contract with the Mexican promotion. It makes him a part of the company roster while continuing his employment with Tony Khan's organization.
The dual contracts have allowed AEW to lock a number of stars from their partner promotions, stopping WWE from signing the talents. Names such as Persephone, Hechicero, and Mascara Dorada have been the most recent examples of talents that have been added to the AEW roster while being contracted by CMLL.
Though Claudio Castagnoli's signing is the first time a talent has opted for a second deal while being under contract with AEW.
Making his debut for the promotion in 2024, Castagnoli has made occasional appearances for CMLL since then. He has been more active in the promotion since winning the World Title from Gran Guerrero back in November last year, and the new deal is only expected to increase his presence in the company.
