Since its inception, AEW has emerged as one of the most popular North American wrestling companies. It currently has three television programs: Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision.

Many names have been associated with the company since its inception, often referred to as the 'Originals.' One of them is The Butcher, who is also known as Andy Williams. He is best known for his alliance with The Blade (Jesse Guilmette). Collectively, this tag team is known as The Butcher and The Blade. Williams recently completed five years in the Jacksonville-based promotion. To celebrate the occasion, he released a statement on X (fka Twitter) yesterday.

He said that his character has seen various changes since signing with All Elite Wrestling. However, he thanked the promotion for allowing him to do whatever he wanted to.

"Yesterday was 5 yrs with @aew for me. I feel like I’ve lived 50 lives since then. Monocle, pants sash, long hair, tassels, fat, shredded, bald, Malenko trunks, bunk house Butch, white clothes,..etc. Now I’m rampage man or something. Love what this company has allowed me to do," said Williams.
