Former ECW star was backstage at AEW Worlds End - Reports

AEW presented their last pay-per-view of 2023, Worlds End, from Long Island on December 30. Tony Khan booked an action-packed card, and the main event saw Adam Cole reveal himself as The Devil.

While the roster readied themselves, they reportedly hosted a special guest - a former Extreme Championship Wrestling star.

According to PWinsider, the mystery ECW alum backstage was none other than Chris Chetti, best known for his daring aerial maneuvers and technical prowess in the late 1990s.

Though Chetti's ECW run was short-lived, he built a cult following for his exciting matchups against Nova and Jerry Lynn. His post-wrestling endeavors include training future stars at the New York Wrestling Connection school.

While the reasons for Chetti's visit are uncertain, his appearance emphasizes All Elite's open-door policy. With connections spanning companies and generations, surprise legends frequently turn up backstage. Tony Khan has never been one to turn away veteran performers.
