Ariya Daivari has had a remarkable twist of fate.

On the July 26 episode of AEW Dark, Daivari defeated Blake Christian in a singles bout. In an interview after the match, Tony Schiavone stated that there’s something different about him and wondered what was going on. Daivari responded by saying that his trust fund has kicked in, so he is now the richest man in professional wrestling. He also noted that he’s going by Ari Daivari now.

 “Mr. Schiavone, I have some fantastic news. After the Fourth of July, my trust officially kicked in, making me the richest man in all of professional wrestling, even more so than Mr. Tony Khan back there. Now tonight I was watching Mr. Slim J, and he impressed me. He’s a hell of a talent. That’s why I have purchased his contract, and Mr. Slim J now works for me. So over the next few weeks, over the next few months, I’m gonna be scouting AEW, I’m gonna be scouting Ring of Honor, I’m gonna scouting New Japan, and I’m gonna be scouting the wrestling world to see who wants to come join me, ‘ Trust Fund’ Ari Daivari,” he said.
