At Limitless Wrestling’s event this past Friday January 16, AEW World Champion MJF successfully defended his championship against Alec Price. Price’s tag team partner Jordan Oliver stood ringside for the contest. Following the match, MJF offered them both AEW contracts.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Price stated that he had no knowledge that he and Oliver were going to be offered AEW contracts.
“I had no idea what was going on until MJF cut the promo in the ring. It made me bawl. I cried my eyes out.”
Price went on to say, “We just unlocked a new level. The sky is the limit. There’s a bunch of teams to face and a lot we can do in AEW. We’re happy for the opportunity to keep moving forward.”
“I hope that everyone who has been along with me for the ride stays along with me for the ride. I’m doing this for everyone that wants to change their life, help their family, and follow their dreams. I’m going to miss the indies, especially my home promotions like Beyond, Limitless, Alpha-1, GCW. I’m going to miss wrestling for the fans on the indies. I’m not going to forget them. I’ll always be the same Alec, regardless of whether I’m signed on TV or I am an independent wrestler.”
In the interview, Price went on to give his thoughts on the AEW World Champion MJF.
“I will say that Max is definitely the best in the world. I won’t say I ain’t bad myself, but the way Max is in the ring and the way he is out of the ring, he’s a real professional.”
Price continued, “This is our time. Max was part of the last generation of indie talent, then me and Jordan and our generation held the indies strong. Now it’s all about a new challenge. Me and Jordan aren’t going to squander this opportunity. We’re the best tag team in the world, and we’re going to show it.”
Price and Oliver will be facing FTR on AEW Dynamite tonight. The tag team are also still being announced for upcoming independent wrestling appearances.
