The WWE Hall of Fame has entered into a new, significant partnership with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) following multiple appearances on AEW programming. The legendary Kevin von Erich has made several appearances on AEW TV alongside his sons Ross and Marshall von Erich, who currently hold two-thirds of the ROH World Trios Championship. Ross and Marshall, both signed with ROH, recently revealed that their father is now officially signed with AEW as well. Marshall shared that his father informed him about joining the company, saying, “My dad is officially… he’s on the team. He’s with us now, so yeah, we were surprised too. And we’re like, ‘Dad?'” Ross added that Kevin von Erich is under a “legendary deal” with AEW, stating, “He’s basically become something of a legend, and that’s great.” Kevin von Erich isn’t the only wrestling legend with AEW, as several others have signed similar historic contracts since last year.
Fan Take: This announcement is huge for AEW fans because it strengthens the promotion’s connection to wrestling’s rich history through iconic figures like Kevin von Erich. It also signals AEW’s commitment to honoring legends while building the future of the sport, making it an exciting time for wrestling enthusiasts.
