Ace Austin has officially stepped into All Elite Wrestling. The former TNA Champion made his first AEW appearance during recent Collision tapings in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he faced Ricochet.
His arrival comes just months after his six-year run with TNA ended in May, when his contract expired. Austin’s departure was on good terms, closing a chapter that began in 2019 and making him one of the most in-demand free agents in the business.

During his time in TNA, Austin became a three-time X-Division Champion and won the TNA World Tag Team Championship three times with Chris Bey as part of ABC. These accomplishments highlight the track record he brings to AEW.
It’s not yet clear if this was a one-night appearance or the start of a regular role in AEW. His match with Ricochet gave fans a first look at the kind of matchups he could add to the roster.
