AEW announces signing of Nigel McGuinness

Nigel McGuinness is All Elite. 

Ahead of tonight’s AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan posted to social media that McGuinness is joining the promotion. This comes just after he made his return to the ROH commentary team at Supercard of Honor on Friday.

Nigel McGuiness is a legend in pro wrestling, and now @McGuinnessNigel is All Elite! See you all TONIGHT on @TBSNetwork for a massive Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite, and I’ll have a very important announcement on TBS tonight! 

McGuinness was released from WWE in October after having been with the company for six years. Prior to that he had worked on commentary for ROH from 2011-16. 

During his in-ring career, McGuinness won the ROH World Championship, Pure Championship, and held the TNA tag titles once with Nick Aldis.
