Daniel Garcia is All Elite.
Coming into AEW during summer 2021, Daniel Garcia, a celebrated name on the independents for his technical wrestling prowess, has consistently been in featured matches on AEW television competing against former WWE Champions like Jon Moxley and CM Punk, all while being paired with two names that were recently released from WWE themselves, Matt Lee and Jeff Parker.
Now, Tony Khan has confirmed that Daniel Garcia has signed with the promotion, something that Garcia confirmed while appearing on Evil Uno’s blog earlier this week.
This year @GarciaWrestling came into @AEW with a great reputation built through his hard work on the indies, & he’s continued to work hard here in #AEW + he’s shown no fear, never backing down from anyone, even the best in the world. Thank you & welcome to the team Daniel Garcia! pic.twitter.com/PSAPkkIxf5

Garcia commented on the news being made official with a tweet of his own.
I told myself that I didn’t want to sign somewhere just to say I got a contract. I wanted to go somewhere that would help me become the best wrestler in the world. I know AEW is where I can become that.

I plan on being a major player in this company for a very long time. https://t.co/3yTQPwIRf2
