Tony Chimel has been working with AEW since last year but now it appears his time with the company has come to an end.
While speaking to All Axxess Entertainment, Tony Chimel was asked about his experience working with AEW. He explained that he enjoyed his time there, mentioning that the company is smaller and operates differently than WWE, but the people are friendly and he already knew many of them from his WWE days.
Chimel said he was grateful for the opportunity and made it clear that his time with AEW is over. He described his run as a short but positive one, noting that AEW chooses to operate in its own way.
“I always had a good time there. Theyâ€re a smaller operation and they run things a little differently, but the people there are nice. I knew a lot of WWE people who are there now. It was a nice little run and Iâ€m very grateful for the time I had there. They do their thing the way they want to do their thing.â€
This comes after Tony Chimel claimed back in February this year that AEW would have likely let him work as part of John Cenaâ€s retirement tour, since he was still part of the company back then. However, none of that happened in the end.
Now that heâ€s no longer under AEWâ€s umbrella, we will have to wait and see whether Tony Chimel will make his way back to WWE somewhere down the line as fans would love to see him back.
