Shawn Spears To Reportedly Get A Manager

AEW’s Shawn Spears might be flanked by a manager in the near future. The 38-year-old picked up his first victory in the promotion at Fight for the Fallen on Saturday. Spears got the pin for his team in a 6-man tag, pinning Darby Allin after a Death Valley Driver.

According to a report from Fightful, Spears could be paired with a manager as part of his act shortly. The report continued to say that this could be revealed as early as the episode of the “Road To All Out” scheduled to air on YouTube today. Spears is scheduled to take part in a sit-down interview with Jim Ross as part of the episode.

He’ll be exposed.

Although nothing official has been announced, Spears could end up facing Cody at AEW’s next PPV. Spears and Cody are former tag-team partners in Ohio Valley Wrestling together, where they were both part of WWE developmental. We will likely find out more about Spears’ motivation for hitting Cody with a chair at Fyter Fest during his interview with Ross.

Spears has had 2 official matches in AEW thus far. He participated in the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas. Then after his chairshot to Cody at Fyter Fest, he teamed with Cody’s protege MJF and Sammy Guevara in winning fashion against Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc, and Darby Allin.
