Peter Avalon Addresses The Reaction To Him Taking Bookings Outside Of AEW

Peter Avalon addresses taking bookings outside of AEW.

Appearing on a new episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Peter Avalon touched on fans being shocked about his ability to take bookings outside of All Elite Wrestling. In January, Peter Avalon announced he was available for new bookings, and the post caused some fans to think he was done with AEW. Avalon says that

“It’s weird in wrestling when people in wrestling, you know, whatever. [They] Start to think of ideas and [makes confused face. Chris mentions it is the fans who think that]. Yeah, that’s what I mean. But it means that I am still there, I am doing more things and there is more to life than Dynamite and Rampage. I’ve been in Dynamite since day one, and they are doing their thing so I am going to do my thing.”

Avalon made sure to shout out AEW President Tony Khan for allowing several talents to have the freedom to take indie bookings.

“It’s beautiful for Tony to let us do that and expand our horizons while still being able to work at AEW. It’s great, shoutout to Tony for that.”

While Peter Avalon isn’t used so much on Dynamite and Rampage at the moment, he does have a few dream opponents in mind. Ironically, they all share a rhyming last name.

“Oh there are so many. Christian Cage, Ethan Page, Brian Cage, DDP. I would have loved to have wrestled Brian Cage when he was the TV champ, but who wouldn’t want to?”

Avalon said you can see him with the Wingmen on AEW Dark, touting their stellar record against some of the other notable stables in the promotion.

“You can see me and [Ryan] Nemeth and the rest of the wingmen, Cezar and JD, we are usually main-eventing Dark. Weird how it works out where people wonder where we are at, we are not on the flyers or any of the advertising. Hell, it’s hard, they don’t even post any of our pictures on Green Fly. But it’s funny that we will main event most episodes of Dark and we are now 0 and 672 to The Dark Order and to The Best Friends. We are doing really well against both teams.”
