Willie Mack, a well-known figure in professional wrestling, has been absent from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since March 2025. After shifting from a salaried contract to a tier zero pay-per-appearance deal, Mack's financial situation has become precarious, leading him to express concerns on social media about potential homelessness. Following reports from PWInsider that he turned down a new contract offer from AEW owner Tony Khan, Mack publicly refuted these claims, questioning, 'When did I turn it down?' Meanwhile, Lady Frost, another wrestler who had been with AEW, announced her free agency and has since signed with Major League Wrestling, expressing gratitude to Tony Khan for his support during her time at AEW.
