Report: Jake Atlas' AEW Status "Up In The Air" Following Arrest
Jake Atlas' AEW future is unclear
May 31, 2022
Jake Atlas' status with All Elite Wrestling is "up in the air" following his arrest on charges of domestic battery, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Meltzer noted that it is unknown if AEW have full details on Atlas' arrest and that as of a few hours ago "there was no official word that he had been let go."
Atlas is not listed on the All Elite Wrestling roster page but it is unclear if he was ever featured on the promotion's website. The 27-year-old did receive an All Elite graphic upon signing with Tony Khan's promotion in January 2022 but Bryan Alvarez reported Atlas was never on the roster page since he signed a per-appearance deal with AEW as opposed to a full-time contract.
Atlas has only performed for AEW twice and he has been on the shelf since he suffered a torn ACL during the January 5 Rampage taping in a match with Adam Cole in what was his second match. He debuted for AEW one week prior at the December 29 Dark: Elevation tapings.
