Independent wrestling veteran AR Fox was offered an AEW contract after this week's Dynamite, on which he teamed with Top Flight against Trios World Champions Death Triangle - though there's currently no word on whether or not he accepted the deal.

Fightful Select reports, however, that sources expect the high-flyer to sign with AEW following a successful, well-received Dynamite bout.

AEW revealed the contract offer in an exclusive Twitter clip uploaded after Wednesday's show. Interviewer Lexy Nair was catching up with Fox and Top Flight following the bout, asking Fox how he felt after debuting on Dynamite.

"It's unbelievable to me," answered Fox. "I don't think I have the words to describe it. I grew up about 10 minutes down the road and I had my mother in the crowd here for a moment that I thought I might never reach. So yeah, I just don't know how to... I'm just waiting to be alone so I could uh, cry."

Later, Nair informed Fox that AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan had offered him an official contract. Fox smiled and nodded in response, thanking Lexy.

Beyond this, he works as head trainer for WWEA4 in Atlanta, Georgia, counting Jade Cargill, Lee Johnson, Austin Theory, and more among his students.
