Khan spoke on the matter during the AEW Revolution post-show media scrum and confirmed Mistico is on a dual contract. He labels the luchador a “personal hero” of his in the business and said he’ll be working with CMLL to ensure Mistico can be in both AEW and CMLL as much as can be arranged. You can see highlights below:
On Mistico Splitting Time Between AEW and CMLL:
“I think we will be splitting time. I think — obviously, CMLL is an amazing partnership for AEW. And what a sign of trust between the two promotions to have one of the greatest wrestlers of all time now as a dual signee, joining us in AEW as a champion. Somebody that I have admired for decades, someone that is a personal hero of mine in the wrestling business. To be able to sit here with Mistico next to Kevin and Mike, to be able to sit here with JetSpeed and say that our World Champions along with Mistico? Who — again, to reiterate, one of my all-time heroes in this business, somebody who’s accomplished so much. And it’s an honor to be able to sit on the stage with him and say he’s a part of AEW, and now a World Champion here. It’s so cool.”
On Working With CMLL On Mistico’s Schedule:
“And we’ll be working with Salvadore now that he’s a champion in AEW, I’ll work with Salvadore very closely to make sure that we see Mistico in both CMLL and AEW as much as possible.”
