AEW and Ring of Honor are using three talented luchadores, but they're not under contract right now to the company

El Hijo Del Vikingo made his AEW debut on March 23 against Kenny Omega to audience acclaim, and was subsequently booked for ROH Supercard of Honor. In addition, Komander had worked an AEW ladder match originally planned for Vikingo, and is also working Supercard of Honor. In the same boat is Dralistico.

Fightful asked about the contract status of each of the three, and were told that they're all currently on nightly deals. However, we've been told there has been some conversation about more with Dralistico at the very least.

Over the past year, in numerous cases, when a lucha talent would appear on AEW TV without a contract, they'd quickly be contacted by WWE.

Could you try to get an update on Christian’s AEW contract status? Appreciate the work 👍🏼

Are none of them contracted in Mexico? It feels like Hijo del Vikingo would be offered a contract by most companies immediately. Then again I understand Bandido is signed and he's not appearing on either show with any regularity to this point.

WWE is just all hurting for their next Lucha superstar and want to put none of the work in

They have AKid/Axiom and Dragon Lee. Santos Escobar is on Smackdown?

And they are all there to replace Rey Mysterio, and WWE chooses to do nothing with them.

You really can't be serious? Like Dom is ok however there really is only one Rey Mysterio Jr and that's what WWE fails to realize; they treat every luchador as the "next Rey Mysterio" and that's a heavy crutch to put on people hence why everyone fails.
