In a bombshell social media post, Willie Mack has declared he is about to become a “homeless superhero,” seemingly suggesting that AEW/ROH management has decided not to renew his contract. While not mentioning AEW by name, he used their slogan as a hashtag, although he had been using it more often for their sister promotion, ROH, with his last match in December 2025. Whether homelessness is a genuine concern or Mack was talking about a home promotion is unclear, although he has recently been wrestling for Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where he and 2 Tuff Tony currently hold the JCW World Tag Team Championships.
39-year-old Mack, real name William McClinton Jr., has built a unique 20-year career in wrestling since debuting in 2006. Starting on the independents, he gained prominence in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. Additionally, he has worked for GCW, MLW, HOG, XPW, AAA, Lucha Underground, and TNA, where he won the X Division title in 2020. And while JCW has been his home away from AEW/ROH since 2024, it now seems likely he’ll be working more indie dates in the future.
