All Elite Wrestling announced today that former WWE Superstar Shawn Spears (Tye Dillinger) has officially signed with the promotion.

Spears made his AEW debut at the recent Double Or Nothing pay-per-view, in the Casino Battle Royale that took place during the "Buy In" pre-show. He entered at #9 and was eliminated by the #10 entrant, Dustin Thomas. Spears left the match with no eliminations.
