In an update on the Brian Cage contract situation, we confirmed with sources within All Elite Wrestling that Cage's option year on his contract was picked up. We noted on Wednesday that he'd told several in the company that it happened. We're told that his deal would have expired on February 21, but the option was exercised a couple of days before that happened.
Cage hasn't been on AEW TV in months, and we did hear from a source within one other company that confirmed there would have been interest if he was made available. Those that we've reached out to say that Cage hasn't been backstage at AEW in months, but was there for several weeks after he stopped being used on television.
Cage's deal is now set to expire in February 2023.
