According to Fightful Select, AEW has signed Tommy Billington, the nephew of the Dynamite Kid, to a contract. This comes after Billington has appeared on AEW programming in losses to Dax Harwood and Konosuke Takeshita. There is said to have also been interest in NXT. It is not clear when Billington will be returning to AEW TV or any details about the length of his contract.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes good sense, if nothing else for the name alone. Billington looked good during his limited time in AEW and it makes sense that AEW wants to give him a chance to develop. Hopefully everything works out, as he could wind up being a nice addition to the roster if given the chance to see what he can do over and over.
What do you think of the signing? How should Billington be used in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
