“The Last Outlaw” isn’t hanging up the boots after all.
Jeff Jarrett made his anticipated announcement as part of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, saying he has signed the final talent contract of his long career and has re-upped with AEW.
Following his win at last Saturday’s Worlds End over QT Marshall, Jarrett said he was going to make an announcement about his future and heavily teased he would be retiring. He even went so far as to bring his wrestling boots out to the ring Wednesday and then gave a dissertation about his family’s involvement in the wrestling business and his own.
His in-ring promo was all about high risk and high reward and said for this last run, he wants the biggest reward: to become the AEW World Champion, offering to enter himself into next week’s Casino gauntlet match for a title shot the following Wednesday.
The 57-year-old has been in AEW since the fall of 2022, joining the company as their director of business development. He has wrestled over 40 matches during his tenure.
