Probably not for long. His wife was released a year ago and she seemed very bitter about it, and now his tag partner is gone. Clock's ticking for him.

I miss Alex doing Penta Sez. I imagine if he did that schtick in WWE, half the crowd would gasp at what Penta says and the other half would gasp at Alex repeating it.

Buddy being in AEW is keeping them together. If he goes to WWE, look for Rhea to dump him and take a husband.

when you REALLY think about it, remember that the Luther hire was done as a favor to Jericho and look how things turned out, Jericho is imminently fed bound and Luther is an AEW lifer most likely, dude legit got the golden ticket

I was a big fan of Luther and Serpentico. My favorite gag other than Luther using Serpentico as a weapon was from a match vs Best Friends where they hug and Luther shrieks to the back of the arena "WE'RE BEST FRIENDS!! WE'RE BEST FRIENDS!!"
Shrieking Luther was my favorite era but Erich Von Stroheim Luther is his best shit.

I forgot his wife's name but she had a pretty good grift going. She would sign with companies and then get immediately pregnant. She was able to fleece TNA and AEW and WWE if I remember

These are people with families. AEW is just leaving them without a source of income.
