Confirming reports on various news sites today, AEW original Shawn Spears announced he is leaving the promotion. His contract is up this weekend and says it was a personal decision to leave. He hasn’t been featured much in AEW since the pandemic and last was seen at the All Out PPV in September. He also is expecting his second child with wife Cassie Lee (the former Peyton Royce in WWE) after their first child arrived earlier this year.
Spears was previously Tye Dillinger in WWE and NXT before AEW but there is no word on where he may go next. His Chairman gimmick in AEW involved, of course, chairs.
