All Elite Wrestling EVP Cody recently did a Q&A session on his official Instagram handle and answered a bunch of questions in regards to AEW. One fan asked Cody whether he would like to sign recently released WWE Superstar, Heath Slater. Cody didn't mince words one bit while answering the question, bluntly stating, "Nope! No on Heath Slater."

Fans must be aware by now that WWE recently released a long string of Superstars, including Heath Slater. The releases came amid the coronavirus crisis, and the sheer amount of layoffs was something the WWE Universe hadn't expected. Slater was a WWE mainstay for more than a decade. He came up to the main roster way back in 2010, along with the other NXT Season 1 rookies. The villains attacked John Cena and many others in one of the most chaotic endings in WWE RAW history.
Slater is a 4-time Tag Team Champion, with three of those reigns coming alongside his Nexus cohort, Justin Gabriel. Slater is also known for his stint as a member of the 3MB, a faction that was mostly used as enhancement talent. The other two members of the stable, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre, went on to become WWE Champions. It would be interesting to see where Slater lands, now that it's confirmed that he won't be coming to AEW.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
