Yesterday news broke that Alan Angels has finished up with All Elite Wrestling. A member of the fan favourite Dark Order faction, Angels would be one of the lower ranking members in the group – often teaming with Preston Vance. He had signed a two year contract with AEW in 2020, and the deal came to an end on June 30th, 2022.
Alan Angels Feels There Is More Room To Grow Outside Of AEW Right Now
During a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Angels would have a moment to speak about his AEW exit. Angels would be quoted saying the following.
“My contract, I was told about a month and a half ago, that they are not going to re-sign me. They did offer me a per-appearance, which I decided not to take, just solely based off what I thought was best for me. I feel there is more room to grow outside of AEW, right now, at this point in my career.
It’s nothing against AEW or Tony Khan or any of the higher-ups in the business. It’s a personal thing. I feel, me going on the Indies and showing people what I can really do and showing people that I am a good fucking wrestler, I feel that will raise my stock — not saying it’s impossible to do that in AEW, but I guess the perception, how fans perceive Alan Angels, is, I’m the bottom guy in Dark Order and I feel I can change that outside of AEW. It’s possible in AEW, but I feel it would take longer.
On top of that, I never got to have a great Indie career. I was on the Indies for three years, got lucky, and got scooped up. As a wrestling fan, being an Indie wrestler and doing cool ass Indie shows, that’s a thing I want to do. There are plenty of places to make money in pro wrestling right now. That’s not to say that I won’t be back in AEW, maybe I will, I don’t know, but that’s pretty much it. They offered me something, I felt it was better for me not to. That’s all it was.”
Dark Order Is For Life
However, despite no longer being part of the AEW roster – Angels is not kicked out of The Dark Order. During this same interview, he’d be asked about if he had plans to team up with Stu Grayson, the other Dark Order member who recently left AEW. Angels had the following to say.
I’m open to whatever. If anything, I’d like to have a match with him. Whether that be at C4 or wherever else he wants to go. That would be my main thing. If somebody wants to book us for a tag, I’m open to it. I’m still wearing the Dark Order hat, it’s not like I’m kicked out of the group or whatever. I have a New Japan show, it’s already taped, with Uno as a tag. Stu leaving was a big thing for all of us and maybe was part of all of it. I’m open to do whatever with Stu.
