Backstage Update on Blake Christian’s AEW/ROH Status

Fans have been speculating about Blake Christian’s AEW and ROH status over the past few days after some noticed that his name hasn’t been featured on either roster page lately.

Interestingly, earlier today, AEW boss Tony Khan announced on social media that Blake Christian will team up with Lee Johnson to take on Matt and Nick Jackson (The Young Bucks) on tonight’s episode of Collision.

Fightful Select is now reporting that they have been informed by sources within the company that Blake continues to remain a part of All Elite Wrestling and its sister promotion, Ring of Honor. However, the reason behind his name not being on the roster pages was not provided.

Blake Christian debuted in AEW in March 2022 and has since been a regular performer in Ring of Honor. His most recent match for the company took place on January 31, 2026. He teamed up with fellow Swirl member Lee Johnson and The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) to take on Bandido, Komander, Xelhua, and Mascara Dorada in an eight-man tag team match in a losing cause.
