Current AEW star addresses possible surprise appearance at WWE Survivor Series in Chicago
AEW star Colt Cabana recently addressed the possibility of appearing at WWE Survivor Series in Chicago.
The 43-year-old spent a few years in the Stamford-based company in the mid-2000s. However, he was released from his contract in 2009. Over the next few years, the Chicago native competed in other promotions before joining AEW in 2019, where he is currently an in-ring competitor and a coach.
During a recent interview with the Bakers Bantering podcast, Cabana was asked if he would make a surprise appearance on the Survivor Series Premium Live Event in his hometown of Chicago. The former member of The Dark Order stated that he would not since he is under contract with AEW.
"Now Derek, yes, WWE is coming to Chicago for Survivor Series. But for the past four years, AEW has also been in Chicago that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. So, I'm hoping that AEW continues that tradition. I assume we will. And I will not be appearing at Survivor Series but I will be at AEW in Chicago because I am contracted and that is my boss and they pay me money to show up there," he said. [51:03 - 51:34]
Colt Cabana recalled the Stamford-based company firing him after a match against Umaga. Check out his comments here.
