Identity of AEW wrestler in recent mystery vignette revealed
Less than a week after a mystery vignette first aired on AEW Collision teasing the appearance of a new masked wrestler, the question of who the man behind the mask is has already been revealed.
Bodyslam.net first reported Wednesday that the wrestler is former AAA wrestler Aramis, later confirmed by Luchablog.
The BodySlam report stated the deal was struck over the last few weeks when the luchadore and AAA were unable to come to terms on a new deal. A start date is unknown or if he will officially work under the name Hologram which was referenced in the vignette (“Holo.grm”).
The 25-year-old has never worked in either AEW or Ring of Honor in the past. He did have a nine-match stateside run in MLW in 2021 and 2022.
On Wednesday, AEW head Tony Khan attempted to temper expectations when asked about the vignette, saying the man behind the mask was someone he is “excited for but it’s not necessarily teasing the biggest free agent signing or anything like that.”
