Many fans frequent the AEW roster page to get an idea as to see who still may be All Elite and who may not be. The company has recently lost stars such as Sonny Kiss, Brian Pillman Jr. and most notably, Jade Cargill. Another under-utilized star to go missing from the roster page happened to Zack Clayton and it left fans wondering what his status may be.
Bill Pritchard, managing editor of WrestleZone, was able to confirm that Clayton is no longer with AEW. “The Reality” was greatly known for his ability behind the mic and initially signed a deal with AEW back in October 2022. Clayton was recently seen representing the company as recent as September as he was apart of Starrcast VI in Chicago during All Out weekend.
