Marko Stunt’s AEW contract is rumoured to expire in May, as reported by Fightful Select. He has not been seen backstage or on programming for months now. New Jurassic Express merchandise does not feature him on it and no references have been made about him on TV. There are also reportedly no creative plans for him moving forward.
Stunt last wrestled for the company on the October 4th episode of Elevation in a tag team match that was taped September 29th. Him and his partner, Fuego Del Sol lost the match to Wardlow and Shawn Spears. While he was on the October 5th episode of Dark, this was not his last appearance as the show was taped all the way back on September 11th.
In a recent interview done by Joey Janela with Denise Salcedo, he talked about his plans to leave AEW once his contract runs out. He also mentioned that AEW officials have supposedly ‘ghosted’ Stunt.
“I’ve had times where I’ve injured people of course, everyone has. But once you get that reputation, it’s hard to break that. I’ve had a string of bad luck throughout my AEW career and that may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back but I don’t know because they don’t communicate with me. They did the same thing to Marko Stunt. They just stopped talking to him, but I appreciate them, but if you have talent relations, I know Christopher Daniels would love nothing more than to tell me I am no longer with the company. But it is what it is. I am not sad, I am not mad, I am not mad at anyone, I had a wonderful experience.” (H/T WrestlingInc.com)
It has been made known that going into 2022, Tony Khan would have to make difficult decisions regarding who he would re-sign to the company and who he would have to let go. Talent such as Janela and Lio Rush have already left or are on their way out of the promotion.
