Shawn Spears, best known for his time in WWE as the 'Perfect 10' Tye Dillinger, is the latest competitor named for the Casino Battle Royale at AEW's Double or Nothing this Saturday.

Spears, who was granted his WWE release this February, was announced via a card draw on AEW's YouTube in which he naturally drew the ten of diamonds.

Speaking about his move to AEW, Spears told Sports Illustrated:

"I'm coming to AEW because I believe in what they are doing. I believe in providing an alternative for fans, and I really believe that the audience has wanted an alternative for quite some time."

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
