Brian Cage will remain All Elite for the foreseeable future.
One part of the six man tag team champions in Ring Of Honor, Brian Cage has been a mainstay of both Ring Of Honor and All Elite Wrestling with Tony Khan as his boss. Most recently, Cage was said to have garnered attention from WWE as his deal with AEW was expiring.
Fightful Select now reports that Brian Cage has signed a multi year deal with AEW, and will be staying with the company for a long time.
Fightful Select has learned that ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion Brian Cage put pen to paper this week, and signed a long-term, multi-year deal to remain with All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor. Tony Khan told Fightful after ROH Supercard of Honor that he was hoping to keep Cage and the Embassy with the company for a long time. Fightful noted in recent months that Cage’s deal was coming up. There were conflicting dates within the negotiations about how long Cage actually had committed on the deal, and he’d effectively became a free agent as of midnight after Supercard of Honor. We’re told that several top talent had pushed for Cage to re-sign, but there were also top talent in WWE who were angling for him to end up there. We’re told WWE had some interest in Cage, but he ended up liking the offer made by AEW. Cage worked with an agent throughout the process. Those that we spoke to said that AEW worked hard to get the deal done in the last couple of weeks, and it was agreed upon in principle by the time creative was started with Swerve Strickland.
