"She'll divorce me" - AEW personality says his wife will leave him if he even thinks about returning to WWE
An AEW personality has recently opened up about their contractual situation and admitted that if they chose to leave All Elite Wrestling and join WWE, their wife would divorce them.
The personality in question is Tony Schiavone, who has been with AEW since the first episode of Dynamite in 2019 and has since become an important part of the company both on and off-screen.
Speaking on the latest edition of the "What Happened When" podcast, Tony talked about his contract situation where he denied the comical rumor of being given a lifetime deal with All Elite Wrestling:
"That's a f**king lie unless my life ends by April next year. There is no guarantee that they're going to re-sign me. That's how I approach life: no guarantees. Klondike Bill told me one time, 'The job is a day-to-day thing, Tony.' That's how I approach my life." (H/T Wrestling Inc.)
The entire #AEW announce team has been extra hot on the mic for this match.

Schiavone was asked about a potential move to WWE, a company he hasn't worked for since 1990. However, it seems a move back to the Stamford-based promotion will never be on the cards for Tony, thanks to his wife Lois.
"No, it's well-established here at the Schiavone household that, Lois Schiavone has said if I even think about going to the WWE, she'll divorce me!" (H/T Wrestling Inc.)
Tony Schiavone will be on commentary this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite
