Now On The Team: AEW Officially Signs Another Former WWE Star – WrestlingRumors.net

Welcome to the team! There are a lot of wrestlers on the AEW roster, as the company has put together a heck of a lineup. They have a great mixture of young, up-and-coming wrestlers, veterans, and legends. Several of them have come from other promotions, many of which have had quite the exposure. That was the case again this week, as AEW has announced the signing of a former WWE star.

Former one time WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Anthony Nese or Tony Nese, as he is adoringly called by his fans on the wrestling circuit, is a force to reckon with on the wrestling ground. Nese made his wrestling debut with the ring name of Matt Maverick and later shortened it to just Maverick but he played in the independent circuit, competing in the ECWA Super 8 Tournament and the Ring of Honor Tournament just after that, one year after another.
