Released WWE Superstar provides a massive update on his future in Tony Khan's promotion
AEW President Tony Khan has always got a lot of plates spinning when it comes to managing his large roster. A member of the locker room recently revealed on Twitter that fans won't be seeing him around any time soon.
That someone is former WWE Superstar Shawn Spears, who had huge roles in storylines involving CM Punk, MJF, and Wardlow in the first half of 2022. However, he hasn't been seen much since his steel cage match with Wardlow in May.
It appears that fans won't be seeing him much in the near future either, as the Twitter account @OhYeahWrestling asked where Shawn Spears had been recently. This prompted the former WWE Superstar to respond with this:
Don’t hold your breath…
Not going there anytime soon. twitter.com/ohyeahwrestlin…
"Don't hold your breath... Not going there anytime soon." tweeted @ShawnSpears
Tony Khan has given Spears a lot of time off in the second half of 2022 to deal with both positive and negative personal matters. Spears announced over the summer that he and his wife Cassie Lee (fka Peyton Royce) were expecting their first child. However, Spears also revealed in October that his mother had passed away during the same timeframe.

With the rise of AEW, fans have come to expect former WWE Superstars to make the switch and become All Elite. Tony Khan has been more than happy to accommodate a large number of former WWE performers, with Shawn Spears being one of the first to make the move.
Spears requested his release from WWE in February 2019, with his non-compete clause ending shortly before AEW's first pay-per-view, Double or Nothing, in May 2019.
