As can be seen above, Benoit tagged Totally Arctic Wrestling (TAW) in the caption. TAW is a pro wrestling league based out of Inuvik, Canada. The promotion has also posted the same picture that Benoit shared on his official account, asking whether TAW needs a new Champion.
We'll keep you posted as more details emerge on the same. David Benoit has been making waves on the pro wrestling scene for a while now after he was spotted with AEW President Tony Khan backstage at AEW All Out. When asked whether he was training to become a wrestler, Benoit had this to say:
I’m just messing around in the ring right now with a couple of guys with AEW.
I want to go to AEW one hundred percent. I love AEW, I love what they do for the boys. They take care of them. I thank Tony Khan for that too.
