Kevin Von Erich signs AEW contract

Kevin Von Erich is All Elite.

Ring of Honor Trios Champions Ross and Marshall Von Erich revealed on the newest episode of their The Claw podcast that their father, wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich, has officially signed an AEW contract.

Kevin has made regular cameo appearances for AEW in recent years, but is now officially part of the AEW team on a deal similar to a WWE Legends contract, according to his sons.

Marshall noted that Kevin will be joining his sons in Texas this weekend for Friday’s ROH Supercard of Honor show and Saturday’s All In festivities:

“So, my dad’s coming with us. I don’t know if we should, or if it has been announced or anything, but my dad is officially AEW. He’s on the team. He’s with AEW now. We were surprised too, we were like Dad, you’re..? And he was like, ‘Yeah, I’m on the team now.'”

Ross explained the type of contract:

“Yeah, he’s basically on like, sort of a Legends deal, which is awesome that AEW is able to do cool stuff like that.”

The Von Erichs have not been officially announced for Friday’s Supercard of Honor event, but Marshall and Ross indicated on The Claw that they expect to defend their ROH Trios titles on the show. They hold the Trios belts with Dustin Rhodes who is already booked for the card in an ROH Tag Title defense.

Ross and Marshall teamed with Rhodes and Sammy Guevara on Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode.
