Ex-WWE Star’s AEW Contract Expiring Soon – Reports

A huge update on a former WWE star’s contract with AEW has emerged.

Big Bill, fka Big Cass, made his All Elite Wrestling debut in 2022, showing up as Wardlow’s mystery opponent on the May 4 edition of Dynamite. Unfortunately for the 6ft 10in star, Mr. Mayhem ended up defeating him on the night.

Bill officially signed a full-time contract with the Jacksonville-based promotion in August 2022. He has won the AEW World Tag Team Championship once, with Ricky Starks as his partner.

The duo ended FTR’s reign on the October 7, 2023, edition of Collision. Big Bill and Ricky Starks dropped the gold to Sting and Darby Allin in a tornado tag team match, 123 days later.

Big Bill is most widely known in AEW for his time in the Chris Jericho-led Learning Tree.

His last match under Tony Khan’s leadership was on the April 6, 2026, edition of ROH, where he teamed up with his Paid In Full partner, Bryan Keith. They defeated Nick Halen and Vin Parker.
