One of the hottest prodigies in professional wrestling may be appearing on AEW TV sometime this year.
While Nick Wayne himself believes that he would be ready to go by the time he turns 18, Dave Meltzer also agrees. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that AEW has plans for Nick Wayne’s debut when he reaches 18 years of age.
“Will we see Nick Wayne on AEW television [after his] 18th birthday right? I think it be anytime after July … I don’t know if they will start him right away … but that was the idea.”
“They showed him on the Seattle show … they should have brought him to the Portland show too and done something … I think he was there in Portland [with his mom]. I am pretty sure, they should have put him in the front row and done something with there too … but … I mean, how ready … I have seen him wrestle many times, and he gets over really really good, and I saw him wrestle Will Ospreay … Dude he can be on TV tomorrow … That good? I mean, I don’t know about promos, but in the ring … ya.”
