Jake Atlas previously worked an AEW Dark taping. A lot of people supposed he signed, but they waited until the episode aired to make the news official.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News.
