Recent reports indicated that The Butcher and The Blade have departed All Elite Wrestling (AEW) following the expiration of their contracts. However, both wrestlers are still listed on AEW's roster page, which is typically updated promptly to reflect changes in talent. Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful Select was the first to report their departure, noting that their contracts were set to expire in 2026. Despite the reports, the duo's continued presence on the roster page raises questions about whether this is an oversight or if they might re-sign with the promotion. Following the news, The Butcher took to social media to thank fans for their support, stating, "Thanks for always backing the coolest dudes in pro wrestling. Bar none." As original members of AEW since 2019, their exit marks a significant moment for the promotion. Now classified as free agents, it remains to be seen whether they will join another major wrestling promotion or pursue opportunities on the independent circuit. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on their next career moves.
