Big Bill’s future with All Elite Wrestling has grown uncertain, as Fightful Select reports his contract is set to expire by the end of May or early June. The 38-year-old former AEW World Tag Team Champion has received limited television time this year, with his last AEW match taking place in February and recent appearances restricted to Ring of Honor. Fans are now eagerly awaiting clarity on whether the towering star will remain with the promotion or explore new opportunities elsewhere.
“Sources that Fightful Select spoke with in April were of the belief that as things stood at that point, Bill’s AEW deal was set to expire at he end of May or start of June. We haven’t learned if he’s re-signed since then, but he hasn’t been on ROH or AEW TV since we learned of it.” – Fightful Select
In recent years, multiple mid-card and veteran talents have quietly departed AEW after their deals expired, reflecting natural turnover rather than the mass release policy WWE has used. While top stars receive early extensions, many originals and underutilized performers face non-renewals, giving Tony Khan flexibility to sign new talent within budget constraints, with Big Bill’s situation seemingly fitting squarely into this strategic cycle.
