Claudio Castagnolis absence from AEWs Grand Slam show in Mexico had fans raising eyebrows. With no appearance and no explanation, speculation ran wildwas he injured, pulled from the card, or had his AEW contract quietly expired?
Adding to the confusion, Claudios AEW debut happened nearly three years ago, leading many to assume his deal may have reached its end. The timing had fans questioning whether the Swiss Supermans run with the company had come to a close.
But thats not the case. Sources within AEW have confirmed via Fightful Select that Claudio remains under contract and still has a significant amount of time left on his deal. Internally, theres no concern about his departure. In fact, Tony Khan is said to be fully committed to keeping Claudio around for the long haul and sees him as a long-term asset to the company.
Despite missing the Grand Slam card, Claudios future with AEW is secure, and his absence wasnt tied to any sort of contract dispute or expiration.
Are you hoping AEW has big plans in store for Claudio Castagnoli, or do you think hes being underused? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know where you stand.
