Nick Wayne appears to be All Elite.
At DEFY Wrestling on Saturday, Darby Allin showed up following Wayne's bout against Christopher Daniels and offered him an AEW contract. After a "you deserve it" chant from the crowd, Wayne said "Yes. Fuck yes," officially accepting the offer from Allin.
AEW and Tony Khan have yet to make an official announcement regarding Wayne's status in AEW. It was noted by Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline that Wayne's deal is "along the lines of an apprenticeship" as he is just 16 and that it will be a full-fledged contract when he turns 18.
