Overview
- Fightful Select reported that sources in AEW believe Big Bill’s deal is up at the end of May or the start of June 2026.
- There are no public signs of new talks or a re-signing, and he has not appeared on AEW or ROH broadcasts in recent weeks.
- Coverage notes that a WWE return is possible, as he previously wrestled there as Big Cass after a strong NXT run and a brief main-roster push.
- In AEW since 2022, he won the World Tag Team Championship with Ricky Starks and later featured in Chris Jericho’s Learning Tree, but his role has shrunk over the past year.
- Reporters point to WWE’s track record of valuing large, athletic heavyweights as a reason he could draw interest if he hits free agency.
