AEW extends Strickland's contract, making him one of the industry's highest-paid wrestlers.

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has secured Strickland's future with a significant contract extension, making him one of the highest-paid wrestlers in the industry. Strickland, AEW's first black world champion, recently lost his title to Bryan Danielson. The new contract reportedly ranks alongside deals for wrestling stars like Kazuchika Okada and Mercedes Mone. WWE views the deal negatively, believing it exceeds the perceived market value for a wrestler of Strickland's caliber. The contract extension strengthens AEW's roster and capacity to headline major events, attracting new fans and showcasing Strickland's continued success.
