While it is not known why he said something this offensive, fans often forget that he wrestled a few matches in All Elite Wrestling. The youngster performed for the Jacksonville-based company, thrice: once in 2022 and twice in 2023. All three matches took place on AEW Dark. There, his in-ring name was Jay Malachi.

His first match was a singles showdown against Fuego Del Sol on Dark #163, where he was defeated in under five minutes. On Dark #184, he teamed up with Oliver Sawyer and locked horns with The WorkHorsemen. He and Sawyer failed to win. However, in his third and final match on Dark #185, he joined forces with Jackson Drake, & Oliver Sawyer, and took on Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett & Satnam Singh. Unfortunately, his team got defeated by the popular trio.
