Boom, Boom, where’s Colt Cabana?
Colt Cabana has not been seen on AEW programming since early March where he competed in a losing effort on AEW Dark against Butcher and Blade, alongside Alan Angels, who’s now gone from AEW. Colt did compete at ROH’s return show, Supercard Of Honor, but we haven’t heard much about him since. Well, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has an update, which you can read below.
Colt Cabana is technically still signed to All Elite Wrestling, but talent were told that wasn’t always going to be the case. As far back as March, Fightful heard rumblings from AEW talent that there was a bit of an internal uproar over the idea that Colt Cabana was not set to be renewed by All Elite Wrestling. Many of the roster assumed initially this was due to the contentious relationship (or lack thereof) with CM Punk, however, in the months that followed, the lessened focus on Dark Order in general and AEW not coming to terms with Alan Angels and Stu Grayson, changed some of of those assumptions. We’re told by numerous AEW talent that they caught wind several months ago that there was word that Colt Cabana’s deal with the company was not being renewed. Cabana is an extremely popular person backstage both from his work in AEW and outside, and we’ve heard that numerous talent voiced their displeasure and went to bat for Cabana. Since then, he’d ended up working the ROH Supercard event. Sources indicated to Fightful that Colt Cabana is almost never at AEW TV, if at all, and hasn’t been booked to compete in some time. Around mid-April, most believed that Cabana was re-signed as a part of the ROH brand. He remains on AEW’s roster page.

Many believe Colt Cabana is a perfect fit to be full time with Tony Khan’s version of ROH, and it seems that may be the case, especially with the slow demise of the Dark Order. We’ll keep you updated on anything new revolving this story.
