AEW about to sign one of the hottest free agents in wrestling?

What's the story?

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville, now known on the independent wrestling circuit as Pac, has been spotted in Jacksonville, Florida, the location where the big AEW rally is taking place. This has led to speculation that 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' is signing for Cody and The Young Buck's new promotion.

In case you didn't know...

Neville left the WWE in a cloud of controversy when he walked out on the company after losing the Cruiserweight Title to Enzo Amore. He was recently released from his non-compete clause and has just started accepting independent bookings.

This has made him one of the biggest free agents in professional wrestling and one of the hotly anticipated names to be announced as joining the promotion alongside others like Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega. Cody Rhodes, The Khans and The Young Bucks will be making several announcements during their All Elite Wrestling rally tonight (Tuesday 8th)

The heart of the matter

The possibility of Pac signing with AEW has increased considerably as reports first seen in PWInsider have suggested that the British born wrestler and former WWE Superstar has been spotted in Jacksonville, Florida.

Former WWE star Neville was spotted in Jacksonville, Florida this afternoon.
We've checked with WWE sources and he is not backstage at Smackdown, so don't be shocked to see him announced as joining All Elite Wrestling when they hold their rally this afternoon. He would be a good addition to their roster.

What's next?

We will find out more when the rally happens later tonight, but like PWInsider said, don't be shocked if Pac is announced as part of AEW as he really would be one of the top targets for the promotion.
