For those unaware, Zak Zodiac is the brother of Saraya, who has long campaigned for her brother to appear in AEW since she made her debut in the company last year.
Saraya recently spoke in an interview of how she told Tony Khan she would pay for his visa if Tony would give him a match on Dark.
“I would love to see my brother get his movie. There were two stories, and there was Zack,” Saraya said on the Mark Hoke Show when asked what a Fighting With My Family 2 looks like. “I just got him his visa. Tony was awesome. He took the time to speak to Zack and was like, ‘Do you have a visa?’ ‘No, I don’t.’ ‘Well, I’d put you in a dark match right now, but you have to have a visa.’ ‘You got it.’ He never got the opportunity in WWE. They never gave him the time of day. He did all these tryouts and they never (gave him a shot). After the movie, I feel like they dropped the ball big time with him. That could have been the ultimate underdog story right there. Years and years spent trying to make it. Now, with AEW, Tony without even thinking, was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll give you a dark match. Sure.’ I was like, ‘I’ll just get him his visa.’ I got him his visa, it should be here in August, which is awesome. I’d love to see his story where he finally makes it. His is an even bigger underdog story.”

With Dark and Dark: Elevation being discontinued for the time being, it is unknown if they will return but for now, Zak Zodiac will await his chance to compete in All Elite Wrestling.
