The heart of the matter

Angelico and Jack Evans recently announced via video that they were signing for All Elite Wrestling. The Twitter video started off with Angelico sort of recapping his career so far and trying to hint that he could be retiring.

However, his tag partner Jack Evans soon came into the video and the duo then signed their All Elite Wrestling contract. The duo will slot into the AEW's tag-team division after reforming their team from AAA and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla - Los Güeros del Cielo.

You can check out the video Angelico posted on his Twitter, announcing that he and Evans were signing with AEW, below:
