AEW Re-Signs Rarely Used Star

AEW

AEW has re-signed a star that is rarely seen around All Elite Wrestling, having made his last in-ring appearance on TV in 2021.

While Anthony Ogogo may have been absent from in-ring action in AEW on television, it doesn’t mean he hasn’t made some appearances.

Anthony Ogogo has opened up about re-signing with AEW after having been rarely seen in the company over the past several years.

Ogogo is an Olympic Gold Medal winning boxer who also happens to be from the UK, hence his most recent appearance in AEW, at AEW All In in London.

Before recently making an in-ring return back in November 2023 for two dark matches ahead of AEW Collision, Ogogo had been absent from competition.

Ogogo said on an episode of AEW Unrestricted:

“I think there is a stigma attached to me now, maybe I create this in my own head. I think the stigma attached to me now is I have all this potential, I haven’t gotten the experience yet.

“How do you get experience when you’re not given experience? You can go on the Indies and do a little bit. There’s working there and there’s working AEW.

“I’m in this weird situation where I think there’s a lot of potential around me, and Tony Khan has signed me and re-signed me. He obviously sees something in me.

“I have this aura that people haven’t got because they haven’t done what I’ve done in real life, but it’s like I need to get the experience. It’s the catch-22. What do you do?

“Do I pimp myself out and do every Indie and get the experience. Then again, working in front of 100 people is very different than working in front of 5000.

“Do I sit and be patient? I don’t want to be patient anymore. I want to show my worth and show what I can do. If I didn’t think I could deliver, I wouldn’t be saying this, but I know what I can do. I just want to contribute.”

Ogogo was triumphant in two dark matches in November 2023 in AEW, besting the likes of Jon Cruz and Pat Buck.
