This week, Tony Schiavone and AEW announced that he has signed on to work for the company.
Since he was the original voice of WCW, most people thought he was joining Jim Ross as the commentator but that is not the case.
Today, more information dropped about what Tony Schiavone’s job in AEW will consist of as well as how he was able to sign with AEW while being under a long-term deal with Major league Wrestling.
The rumors started last week when The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported it. However, MLW seemed to dismiss the rumors with this Twitter response.
Mr. Schiavone’s MLW status is unchanged. ?
