Dralistico’s AEW deal expires in December; Rush’s absence is visa-related

On October 19, he shared an AI-generated image of himself behind bars with the caption “Maybe not for long?”

Dralistico has worked with AEW and its partner promotion, Ring of Honor, and has often teamed with his brother Rush.
