Ari Daivari Signed To Full-Time AEW Deal
Ari Daivari already factors big into AEW.
Daivari has been heavily featured on AEW programming over the last couple of months, but first appeared last November following his WWE release. Since then, he’d worked the independent circuit, NJPW and AEW, while still getting a WWE producer trial run. Unfortunately, WWE experienced heavy producer cutbacks and he wasn’t picked up for that. Fortunately for him, All Elite Wrestling did pick him up, and on a full-time deal. We’re told to expect him to get an “All Elite” graphic soon.
Fightful Select has confirmed that Daivari has signed an agreement with AEW. He’s been leading the Trustbusters group of Slim J, Parker Boudreaux and Sonny Kiss for the last month and made their way onto Rampage this past week. In addition, we were told that he produced the positively received Dr. Britt Baker DMD & Jamie Hayter vs. Thunderstorm matches as well, creating some versatility for his role. Daivari and Slim J appeared on ROH Death Before Dishonor as well.
