Former AEW Star’s Future Takes an Intriguing Turn as he Trains at WWE’s Performance Center
Brian Pillman Jr., who recently departed from AEW, was sighted training at the prestigious WWE Performance Center. Dave Meltzer, in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter, reported that Pillman Jr. was present at the center on July 13 for training purposes. While no further details were provided regarding his current status, this sighting has sparked curiosity among wrestling fans.
The removal of Pillman Jr.’s name from the roster page on AEW’s website earlier this week confirmed that his AEW contract had expired and was not renewed. His final matches for the promotion took place during a house show tour in May, where he faced Claudio Castagnoli in a singles match and teamed up with Brock Anderson in a loss to The Gunns.
Pillman Jr.’s last televised match for AEW occurred on an episode of Rampage back in February. Since his debut at AEW’s inaugural event in 2019, Pillman Jr. has been an integral part of the promotion. He gained recognition as one half of the dynamic Varsity Blonds tag team alongside Griff Garrison.
Adding to the intrigue surrounding his next move, Pillman Jr. took to Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a picture with the caption, “Stay tuned for the next chapter…” This cryptic message has left fans speculating about what lies ahead for the talented wrestler.
As the wrestling world eagerly awaits further updates, the sight of Pillman Jr. training at the WWE Performance Center raises questions about potential new opportunities and a possible transition to the WWE roster.
