Kendrick had most recently been working as a producer on WWE NXT and 205 Live. PWInsider.com broke on 1/25 that he had requested a release from the company, had not been to any TV tapings in Orlando in some time and had been waiting for a release "at least" six weeks. Fightful.com reported earlier tonight that Kendrick had received his release.
Kendrick, 42, last wrestled for WWE in October 2020 on the 205 Live brand but did an angle in December on WWE NXT TV with Joe Gacy to set up an in-ring return, which never happened. Kendrick had multiple runs with WWE over the years as well as a lengthy runs with Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling and ZERO-ONE.
Debuting in AEW puts Kendrick back in the same locker room with Bryan Danielson, who he goes back with to his earliest days training at the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy in Texas in the late 1990s.
