Ian Riccaboni is signed to AEW.
On Sunday afternoon, Fightful Select reported that Ian Riccaboni had signed a multi-year deal with All Elite Wrestling.
Taking to social media, Ian confirmed he had signed with the company, and that the deal happened before he wore a cowboy hat on the July 15 episode of AEW Collision.
Riccaboni also confirmed Fightful Select's report that he turned down doing commentary full-time for AEW Collision to continue to spend time with his family.
It wasn't the hat.

It happened before the hat, fwiw.
Although if it hadn't happened, I'm sure the hat probably would have helped it.
We record remotely the weeks I don't Collision. It is my family. I have a 6 and a 4 year old. Everyone was first class and upfront when talking through the situation.
