Update On Stu Grayson’s AEW Contract Status After He Was Removed From Website

On Monday, an eagle-eyed fan on social media spotted that Stu Grayson of The Dark Order was no longer listed on AEW’s roster page on their website. Typically this will mean the talent is no longer with the company, as even wrestlers on contracted pay-as-you-wrestle deals like Peter Avalon are listed. However, with no official announcement or comment from Grayson, some speculated it maybe had been an error. Now though, Dave Meltzer has shared what he knows about the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio, revealing that Grayson and AEW failed to agree on a new deal. Although he’d add he wasn’t aware if negotiations were continuing.

The story that I’m getting is that his contract expired, which is the same as Marko Stunt, Joey Janela, and Jack Evans, whose names were removed from the roster page because their contracts expired. The only word going around was that they failed to come to terms to a new agreement. I don’t know if that means that they’re still talking or if it was one of the decisions made not to renew him.Dave Meltzer

33-year-old Grayson was one of AEW’s original signings and debuted for the promotion at Double or Nothing event in 2019 alongside longtime tag partner Evil Uno. After that, he’d wrestle 79 times for the company, mainly in tag and multi-man matches on AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation. What the future now holds for him remains to be seen, although having been a part of AEW for three years, he should ensure he isn’t short of independent show bookings in his home country of Canada.
