Scorpio Sky Faces October Contract Deadline
AEW wrestler Scorpio Sky is nearing the end of his tenure with All Elite Wrestling. Reports state his current contract is set to expire in October, placing the 43-year-old veteran at a professional crossroads.
During a recent appearance on the Tagging in with Chris Harris podcast, the former TNT Champion addressed the looming expiration. Rather than speculating on his next move, Sky signaled a commitment to finishing his current run on his own terms.
Prioritizing the Final Chapter
A member of the roster since the company’s 2019 inception, Sky admitted that his future is a frequent subject of internal and external speculation. However, he remains focused on his immediate output.
“I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that I thought about what I’m going to do and what the future looks like, but I really try not to put too much into that,” Sky said, according to the Tagging in with Chris Harris podcast via transcription from 411mania.com. “Right now, I’m focused on finishing this chapter the right way. And I have a lot of stories and matches and moments left to be part of, and I’m excited to step into those moments.”
A Legacy of Early AEW Milestones
Sky’s career in AEW has been defined by his evolution from a tag team specialist to a featured singles competitor. In January 2019, he and partner Frankie Kazarian became the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions while competing as SCU.
Following his run in the tag ranks, Sky transitioned into a prominent singles role. He successfully captured the TNT Championship twice, anchoring the promotion’s mid-card division during his tenure.
Limited Television Presence
In recent months, Sky’s role within the organization has shifted. He has primarily competed under the Ring of Honor (ROH) banner as part of the SkyFlight tag team, with his AEW television appearances becoming increasingly sparse.
His most recent AEW-branded appearance took place in March, when he competed in the 21-Man Blackjack Battle Royal for the AEW National Title during the Revolution Zero Hour pre-show. As the October deadline approaches, Sky maintains a short-term outlook.
“We’ll let tomorrow handle tomorrow,” Sky stated, “and I’m just going to focus on today.”
