A former champion in AEW had some harsh words to say about the company.

When All Elite Wrestling launched as a company in January 2019, one of the first wrestlers they announced as signing a new contract was Pac, who a lot of wrestling fans knew from his WWE run as (Adrian) Neville.

During his time in AEW, Pac was the first person to hold the All-Atlantic Championship (now known as the International Championship) and he was also a Trios Tag Team Champion along with Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo as part of a group known as Death Triangle.

While Pac remains a part of the All Elite Wrestling roster, he has been off television since July 2023. That time off television ended during the AEW Revolution Zero Hour pre-show where he delivered a message about his possible return.

In the video, Pac stated that AEW’s Owner Tony Khan will never get rid of him. “The Bastard” would go on to say he’d be back “very soon.” Pac went on to state that he would be dragging this “festering scrotum of a company” into a new age.

When Was Pac’s Last AEW Match?

The last time that Pac wrestled in an All Elite Wrestling ring was the July 26th, 2023 edition of AEW Dynamite when he defeated Gravity in a singles match. Pac also lost to the ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli at the ROH Death Before Dishonor PPV in July 2023 as well.

Pac wrestled a busy schedule in 2021 and 2022, but he only wrestled in six matches in 2023. It’s not known what injury he may have had or why he has been inactive for so long.
