Nigel McGuinness has been part of the AEW family for the past few years now. While he started off as a commentator, he occasionally wrestles as well and now heâ€s clarified his current AEW contractual status.
While speaking on the Wombreezy Wrestling Podcast, Nigel McGuinness was asked about his contractual status with AEW and whether his commentary work and his recent in-ring appearances are covered by separate contracts.
McGuinness clarified his AEW contract situation, explaining that both his commentary role and his recent in-ring appearances are covered under the same deal. His manager and agent handle the details while he simply signs off on it.
When AEW decided to use him for matches again, the company added an amendment to the existing contract to account for his in-ring work, but it all remains part of one agreement.
“Um, no. I think itâ€s all under the same thing. My manager and agent sort of handle all that side of things—I just sign along the dotted line. We did re-up when it became clear I was going to be getting in the ring again. Just sort of like an amendment to it, but essentially, itâ€s the same contract, I believe.
Nigel McGuinness explained that his AEW commentary work and recent in-ring appearances fall under the same contract, with only a small amendment added once he started wrestling again.â€
Nigel McGuinness†contractual situation shows that AEW is flexible with contracts, especially for veterans who can do more than one job. Since his deal covers both commentary and wrestling, McGuinness is a useful part of AEW who can add value in different roles and fans wouldnâ€t have it any other way.
