Shawn Spears has been absent from AEW's weekly shows since his match on Rampage last October. He was given time off due to the star's request to deal with personal matters. Spears had seemingly turned babyface prior to his hiatus, reverting to his 'Perfect 10' gimmick from WWE.

The AEW star had previously expressed wish to win a specific WWE Title

Shawn Spears apparently has a specific title in mind to win in WWE if he ever gets the chance.

In an episode of The Sessions with Renee Paquette podcast, the former WWE superstar was asked what title he could see himself winning in the Stamford-based Promotion. Spears opened up about his limited career time left, choosing the Intercontinental title as his choice.

"Being completely honest, I have always seen myself as an Intercontinental Champion. I grew up on the Mr. Perfects, and the Rick Rudes, and the Ultimate Warrior, and then as I got into wrestling, it was always seen as the workhorse championship. So, I had always seen myself in that zone. So, in a perfect world, it would be the Intercontinental Championship," Shawn Spears said. [H/T: Wrestling Observer]

As of now, it remains to be seen when he will be returning to action.
