Bear Bronson, previously part of the Iron Savages tag team, announced that he is no longer with AEW as his contract with the company officially ended on June 1, 2025. He shared this news on social media, expressing gratitude to his family, friends, and fans, and announcing he is now a free agent in professional wrestling, ready to pursue his dreams independently.
Bronson joined AEW in 2020 alongside his tag partner Bearboulder and their manager/tag partner Jack Jameson. They initially competed as Bear Country before rebranding to the Iron Savages. The team dissolved after Bearboulder’s release from AEW following his arrest earlier this year. Bronson was shocked by the allegations against his former partner and hoped for the victim’s well-being. Bronson’s last AEW match was in November, with his final appearance on AEW’s sister promotion ROH taking place in December of the previous year. Since then, he has been active on the independent wrestling circuit, appearing in various promotions.
Fan Take: Bear Bronson’s departure marks the end of an era for AEW’s tag team division, leaving fans curious about the company’s future direction. This move also highlights the ever-evolving nature of wrestling rosters and the opportunity it creates for new talent to emerge and for veterans like Bronson to explore fresh opportunities in the sport.
