Big Boom AJ isn’t dead—he’s just been chilling at Disney.

The beloved Costco Guy and part-time AEW star took to social media to personally shut down a bizarre internet rumor claiming he had passed away. In a new video, AJ looked very much alive and addressed the false claim head-on: “Big Boom AJ died?! Who comes up with this stuff? Hey, absolutely nothing to worry about. Big Boom AJ is right here bringing the boom!”

AJ revealed that he’s been spending time at Walt Disney World, meeting “hundreds, maybe even thousands” of fans, filming content, and staying active on his socials the entire time. He explained, “We had posts out there, I was commenting back. So Big Boom AJ is fine. I’m right here!”

He also gave fans a preview of what’s next, confirming appearances at DreamHack, VidCon, and AEW All In: Texas—just in case anyone still needed proof he’s alive and booked.
