Shawn Spears commented on his AEW departure

Former WWE star Shawn Spears recently spoke about his shocking departure from All Elite Wrestling after spending five years with the company.

Spears was one of the first stars to make the move from WWE to All Elite Wrestling in 2019. He made his debut in the Casino Battle Royale at the company's inaugural Pay-per-view, Double or Nothing. However, Spears did not hold any titles in the company despite being featured in programs with top names like Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley, as well as being part of prominent storylines such as The Pinnacle.

The former WWE star reflected on his time with All Elite Wrestling, and thanked the talent and staff via a post on X:

​

​

"What a wonderful time it has been. Thank you @AEW for allowing me to be there from the ground level. It’s been a fantastic 5 years of growth and personal development. This is a personal choice and one that is best for me and my family at this time. Thank you to all, staff and talent alike for the memories❤ - #10," Shawn Spears wrote
