Is Shawn Spears out of AEW?

As we mentioned earlier, Spears hit AEW with a controversial promo. He discarded the loaded black glove given by Blanchard; Blackjack Mulligan and Ted DiBiase used to wear a similar glove back in the day. Blanchard probably hinted at Spears’ future greatness with the glove.

Spears said in the interview, “I bet on myself. I left New York, and the grass isn’t always greener. You can change the three letters, but you can’t change the glass ceiling.”
