AEW star Daniel Garcia is yet to sign a fresh deal with the promotion while his contract set to expire next month. It has come to light that his contract status played a huge role in the outcome of the match against MJF at AEW All Out pay-per-view.
Daniel Garcia was written off the storylines at AEW Dynamite: Beach Break a few months ago. We reported that he was written off until he decided to re-sign. Garcia returned at AEW All In: London as he distracted MJF and cost him the ‘American’ Championship against Will Ospreay. Garcia went on to face ‘The Salt of The Earth’ in a losing effort at AEW All Out. Garcia was initially considered to win his match against MJF at All Out, but his hesitance to re-sign led to a change in the outcome.
“Garcia was considered for the win, and that those in AEW say he’s not signed a new deal. Garcia has been offered a new deal, and AEW were hopeful he’d sign it before All Out, which didn’t happen.”

MJF vs Daniel Garcia kicked off AEW All Out. The final moments of the match saw MJF hit a low blow followed by a Jacknife Pin to secure the victory as he pulled off his his signature heel tactic. Following the match, Garcia exacted revenge on the champ, who tried to attack him after the bell. The former ROH Pure Champion would intercept MJF’s kick and hit a low blow of his own. He then hit a piledriver from the second rope on MJF.
Daniel Garcia has also drawn interest from WWE and there is a huge possibility that he could jump ship to AEW’s rival promotion. In recent months, a handful of AEW stars have moved to WWE and Garcia could certainly follow suit.
