Daniel Garcia returned at All In last night and caused a
distraction to MJF which led to Will Ospreay taking
advantage and beat him to become the new AEW International
champion.
The 25-year-old last appeared on AEW television on the July
3 episode of Dynamite, losing to Ospreay and then MJF turned
heel on him after the match.
Garcia’s disappearance was due to his contract negotiations
with the company as he had not signed a new deal and the MJF
beatdown served as an exit for him if he had decided to
leave.
While it’s unclear when Garcia’s deal is up, the fact that
he was brought back at All In suggests that the two sides
are either close to or have agreed to a new contract.
AEW President Tony Khan was asked about Garcia in the post-
show press conference, with Khan saying that Garcia is a
great part of AEW and has been with the company for a long
time, but failed to give any real update.
“Without saying exactly what’s going on, it’s a good sign
that he was here,” Khan said. “And really great to have him
come and take that next step tonight after what happened
with him and MJF, and Will Ospreay being involved in the
International title, it was a great payoff to a lot of
storytelling in the recent weeks on Dynamite.”
