The news of Ben Carter’s signing was first mentioned by AEW’s Miro who stated during a Twitch stream that Carter was not with AEW and went to the “dark side”.
Dating back to September, Ben Carter worked several matches for All Elite Wrestling on their ‘Dark’ program and was spotlighted on AEW’s Late Night Dynamite show when he wrestled Scorpio Sky on TNT. Carter began to gain buzz around his name over the summer when he competed for Game Changer Wrestling, Warrior Wrestling, Beyond Wrestling and several more independent promotions.
Ben Carter is in his early 20s, began his career several years ago and is now signed to WWE.
