Sometimes in professional wrestling, you have to live the gimmick.
AEW star Shawn Spears took his ‘Chairman’ moniker to new heights last night when he used a steel chair in place of a bat during a charity softball game alongside his fellow AEW members.
Well, @ShawnSpears is the #theChairman after all … watch #AEWRampage tomorrow night at 10/9c on @tntdrama pic.twitter.com/Vfm2jDtWab

Many members of the AEW roster and staff took part in the game which successfully raised over $13,000 for the PAWS Chicago foundation which is the city’s largest no kill humane organization.
I’m so happy to be part of an organization that allows me not only to perform at my highest level but allows me to be part of what I was born to do… the help others! We raised almost 13k for @PAWSChicago and we fun doing it! Thank @AEW #community ??❤️☠️?? pic.twitter.com/Le9sfHCaAs

Austin Gunn might have been the one to collaborate with Shawn Spears in this instance on the baseball diamond, but All Elite Wrestling is really putting forth the team effort across the board. Tony Khan recently spoke to the media about how he’s working with CM Punk and all talent to make sure that the content they put out makes sense and doesn’t paint anyone in a bad light.
