AEW is reportedly planning to offer Dralistico a new contract amid speculation about his exit.

Recent reports revealed that Dralistico’s AEW contract runs through December. However, his recent online activity raised questions about his future with the promotion. He shared an AI-generated image of himself wearing handcuffs behind bars on X/Twitter last month. He posted the photo along with the caption “Maybe not for long?” prompting speculation about his exit.

Dave Meltzer previously reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Dralistico is not injured. He last competed on AEW television on the June 6, 2026, episode of Collision.

Dave Meltzer noted on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that AEW is planning to retain Dralistico with a new contract. He also said people close to the luchador claimed his cryptic post was about his visa issues and not about wanting to leave Tony Khan’s promotion.

“From the AEW standpoint, they are going to make him an offer. I was told from people close to him that the thing with the bars and everything, that’s because of the visa issue. It’s not because he can’t wait to leave like Fenix. His contract is up soon,” Meltzer said.

Dralistico’s real-life brother RUSH is also dealing with visa issues. He addressed his lengthy absence in a recent social media post and noted that he’s happy to be with AEW. Reports indicate his new visa might not arrive until early next year.
