AEW Star Working On A New Gimmick?
AEW star Kip Sabian hasn't wrestled since May 24 and underwent successful arm surgery in mid-May.
His last appearance on AEW TV was on April 28, thanks to a backstage attack from Miro. The current TNT Champion was not happy at the time about their loss to Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy in an Arcade Anarchy Match.
Sabian now looks to be potentially working on a new gimmick, posting a photo of himself wearing a suit and box over his head with the words, "underrated, over it" on the box. There's also a sand timer on the side of the box.
"Time doesn't heal...It changes you..." Sabian wrote in the caption.
During this weekend's AEW All Out Fan Fest, Sabian did an unadvertised meet and greet with fans and scribbled different messages over his 8x10 photos.
On many of them he scratched out his face and wrote "no" as to indicate he's not long connecting with that character. In the videos, it didn't sound like Sabian talked at all with the fans that came up to him.

He ended up coming over to see what was going on and was just as surprised as all of us. pic.twitter.com/eHe2Advl71
