Tony Khan Comments On AEW Star’s Expiring Contract After All In Appearance

As one AEW star moves closer to free agency, Tony Khan has reflected on their importance to the company.

At AEW All In, Will Ospreay scored an incredibly popular win over MJF to regain the International Title.

Born just down the road from Wembley Stadium, Ospreay was greeted like a returning hero when he made his entrance and the star used that outpouring of emotion to deliver one of the standout matches of his AEW career to date.

As the match hit the final stages, MJF’s past actions came back to haunt him after a returning Daniel Garcia nailed him straight in the face as he looked to cheat his way to another win. Garcia had been out of action since July thanks to MJF and his return sparked fresh speculation about his future.

The star’s AEW contract is reportedly set to expire in October, so fans immediately wondered whether his appearance means he’s sticking around.

Tony Khan Gives Little Away On Daniel Garcia

During the All In post-show press conference, Tony Khan was asked about Garcia’s status, but he steered clear of contract details. While Khan talked up the star, it’s believed he still hasn’t signed a new contract.

“I don’t wanna necessarily comment on everybody’s contract length or status, but Daniel’s here and he’s a great part of AEW.

“We’ve been having great success and this is a great night to reflect back on what we’ve been doing here in AEW. For some reason we keep going back to this number of the past three years, but at Revolution we talked about the three-year run of Sting, and what a special three-year run it was of Sting in AEW from 2021 Revolution to Revolution 2024.

“Bryan Danielson, at All Out 2021 he debuted, and we’re coming up on three years of Bryan Danielson in AEW, and again, a really special moment in that three years.

“It’s been about three years with Daniel here. Daniel Garcia started with us in Daily’s Place and he was kind of on that run of shows right before we started wrestling in front of the crowds again. So he’s someone who’s been with us a really long time, somebody beloved by the fans and backstage, and we love having Daniel here, so without saying exactly what’s going ion, it’s a good sign that he was here I think, and really great to have him come and take that next step tonight after what happened with him and MJF and Will Ospreay being involved in the International Title.

“It was a great payoff to a lot of storytelling in recent weeks on Dynamite and I think we’re on a really great run of Dynamites. People thought this go-home show was probably the best go-home show we’ve done, and one of the best shows, and really it feels like that’s been consistent.

“Coming out of Forbidden Door, I feel like Beach Break in Chicago was one of our best – it was when Garcia had gotten taken out right back then leading into that MJF/Will Ospreay 59:58 International Title match setting up tonight’s rematch.But Daniel Garcia’s been a big part of AEW for a long time, we love having him here.”

Daniel Garcia hasn’t wrestled since being beaten by Will Ospreay on the July 3rd episode of Dynamite.
