Independent wrestler Nick Wayne was presented with a contract offer from Darby Allin to sign with All Elite Wrestling following the conclusion of DEFY Wrestling’s Fifth Anniversary Show, which Wayne accepted.

Due to his age, 16-year-old Wayne will be locked in to a deal that will become a full-time contract when he turns 18 years old and finishes high school. Wayne is still scheduled for several independent wrestling appearances, including his match against Jordan Oliver as part of this Saturday’s GCW Believe Me event at The Showboat in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
