The Latest On Colt Cabana’s AEW Future

Colt Cabana signed with AEW in February 2020 and went on to become a member of The Dark Order. Yet, he has been noticeably absent from television recently, despite remaining listed on the promotions roster page. It was known he had been to Australia to film scenes in Young Rock where he portrayed The Brooklyn Brawler; nevertheless, that wouldn’t account for all his time away.

Now in the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer has provided more information confirming that Cabana is still with the company and actually signed a new contract due to support from The Young Bucks, but his future isn’t in AEW, but Tony Khan’s version of ROH. It was also speculated that CM Punk’s AEW signing may have played a part in how this has played out.

Colt Cabana hasn’t been on the show for a while as he is earmarked for the ROH group if and when that starts. This may be in some form be related to his issues with C.M. Punk. Cabana was signed to a new contract which was pushed for by Matt & Nick Jackson, and worked the ROH PPV show, but has not been at any of the AEW tapings since his new deal was signed.Dave Meltzer

For those unaware, Cabana and Punk were very close longtime friends. However, things went sour when WWE sued them over comments relating to WWE doctor Christopher Amann during the infamous podcast hosted by Cabana in which Punk discussed his WWE departure. The belief is Punk agreed to cover Cabana’s legal costs, but along the way, they fell out, and Cabana sued Punk when he rescinded that offer. Punk would counter sue, and eventually, both lawsuits were settled with it reported that neither paid any financial settlement.
