Willie Mack addresses AEW status: ‘I want to wrestle’
Despite sending out a tweet that made people think he had departed AEW, Willie Mack says he is still with the company.
Mack posted a tweet on Tuesday night saying that he was “about to become a homeless superhero” because AEW doesn’t think he’s worth the money. He then sent out a follow-up saying that, for two years straight, he’s been calling every week to see if the promotion has anything for him:
- When ya boy is about to become a homeless superhero because the booker doesn’t think he’s worth the money. #WhereTheBestWrestle
- It’s like for 2 years straight I’d call every week and ask if you got anything for me? You signed right? You still getting paid right? I want to Wrestle.
Those tweets led to it being reported that Mack had departed AEW. In response to an article covering the situation, Mack stated that he is still with the promotion:
- Wrong still there.
Mack also indicated that a fan was “wrong” for saying that he was only on a per-appearance deal and not a full AEW contract.
During his time with AEW, Mack has only wrestled sporadically, mostly featuring on ROH in the matches he’s had. The most recent of those was an ROH match in December 2025 where he and Aaron Solo lost to Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia. Mack has worked outside dates while with AEW and is a regular for Juggalo Championship Wrestling.
Mack wrestled for PWG early in his career and has held championships for Lucha Underground, TNA, NWA, and JCW.
An AEW/ROH departure was confirmed at the start of April with Lady Frost entering into free agency upon the expiration of her contract.
