Parker Boudreaux Debuts In AEW At Dark Tapings

Joe Gacy & Parker Boudreaux

Having been released by WWE earlier this year, Parker Boudreaux has now surfaced on AEW, being brought in by a stable during the latest Dark tapings.

It was with much fanfare that Parker Boudreaux was signed by WWE in February 2021. Touted by many as having the potential to become “the next Brock Lesnar”, he went on to make his debut as part of NXT 2.0 eight months later.

Originally accompanying Joe Gacy to the ring as his bodyguard, Boudreaux went on to compete in his first match on 14th December, where he picked up the victory over Guru Raaj. However, he had just six matches for the former black and gold brand before being released by WWE on 29th April 2022 alongside the likes of Dakota Kai and Dexter Lumis.

Three months on, and Parker Boudreaux has now resurfaced as part of the latest AEW Dark tapings. He was introduced to the crowd in Orlando, Florida on 16th July by The Trust Busters, Ariya Daivari and Slim J, and went on to defeat Serpentico. At this stage there is no indication as to whether this was a one-off appearance and him being a ‘hired gun’ for the team, or if he has signed a contract with the company.

Parker Boudreaux’s first post-WWE appearance came as the final entrant in MLW’s Battle Riot back in June, where he managed to put in a dominant display before being eliminated.
