Tony Khan is chipping away.
Chris Hero hasn't wrestled since March 2020 when he competed in the NXT United Kingdom Title #1 Contendership Battle Royal. He has remained active in wrestling as an interviewer, producer, and matchmaker for West Coast Pro.
Hero has been working backstage at AEW events.
When a fan suggested Hero compete in Blood & Guts, AEW Owner Tony Khan said he's chipping away on Hero.
I'm chipping away on him.#AEWRampage

Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite both need one more team member for Blood & Guts. Claudio Castagnoli, who famously teamed with Hero as the Kings of Wrestling in ROH and other independent promotions, is part of Blood & Guts as a member of Blackpool Combat Club.
Blood & Guts is set to take place on the July 17 episode of AEW Dynamite. Fans can learn more about the match by clicking here.
