During a Captain’s Corner Virtual Signing event, Brian Pillman Jr. teased an exciting opportunity in the works, hinting at big things on the horizon. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of his next move.

There is a lot to come, I can’t speak on it right now, it’s kind of in the works.
