It was recently reported that AEW has been looking to hire more people ahead of the premiere of the company’s new Saturday show, Collision.

Several new names have signed with AEW, including former WWE and IMPACT creative team member Jimmy Jacobs.

PWInsider has now reported that former IMPACT and WWE developmental star Kevin Matthews has now joined the company.

Matthews was reportedly backstage at the June 14 Dynamite taping.
