I may have lost my #AEWDark debut match but I took a STEEL slug straight to the head and got back up to fight again another day!!! I will continue to take shot after shot and get back up every single time! I am hungry, I am determined, I am #bulletproof pic.twitter.com/M4ruxxhSxI

This won't be my last opportunity in an AEW ring! Every time I step into that ring is a chance to show my worth, a CHALLENGE that I will rise to! Stay tuned for my next challenge and in the mean time stay fresh with a cool summer tee! https://t.co/uEXgsxWFFp

MLW released the following statement:
Brian is not released and is fully aware of our schedule, which includes events October 3rd and December 5th pending the state of the pandemic. We put the health of our talent/staff and their family and our fans before bookings, which is why we are not running at the moment. We’ve been in contact with Brian to relay this. If he elects to perform elsewhere under the terms of his deal, he certainly has our full blessing to do so.
