An ex-WWE personality has confirmed that his time with All Elite Wrestling has come to an end.
Speaking on All Axxess Entertainment, former WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel revealed his departure from AEW. He noted that he always had a good time with the company, and also pointed out the differences between AEW and WWE in terms of the size of the operation and backstage culture.
“I always had a good time there,” Chimel said. “They’re a smaller operation, and they run things a little differently, but the people there are nice. I knew a lot of WWE people who are there now. It was a nice little run and I’m very grateful for the time I had there. They do their thing the way they want to do their thing.” [H/T WrestlingNews.co]
Could Tony Chimel Return To WWE For John Cena’s Last Match?
Tony Chimel stated earlier this year that he’d love to be a part of John Cena’s retirement tour. He said that AEW management wouldn’t have had a problem with him making a temporary return to WWE while still being contracted to AEW.
While he’s known for his announcements for Edge, Tony Chimel has also introduced John Cena throughout multiple stages in the latter’s career. Now that his time with AEW has come to an end, he could return to WWE to introduce John Cena in his retirement match. However, nothing has been confirmed so far.
John Cena has two more appearances left in his retirement tour. His next match will take place at Survivor Series: WarGames against Dominik Mysterio, and then he will go on to face the winner of the Last Time Is Now Tournament at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
