As first reported by Bodyslam.net, and then later by F4WOnline, New Japan Strong talent and now former Ring of Honor wrestler Brody King has reportedly signed with AEW.
It is being said King’s AEW signing may have been teased on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, with the House of Black vignette featuring Malakai Black with a black hooded person.
Bodyslam.net’s Cassidy Haynes reportedly said the signing was confirmed by multiple sources.
Haynes also said one source said the deal was done as early as Thanksgiving weekend, nearly immediately after the news of Ring of Honor going dark in the first quarter of 2022 and releasing all of their contracted talent.
King, 34, was part of last Saturday’s ROH End of an Era Final Battle PPV, teaming with Rocky Romero, Homicide and Tony Deppen in a victory over EC3, Eli Isom, Taylor Rust and Tracy Williams.
King first signed with ROH in 2018, and then signed a new contract with the company in early 2020.
