With free agency looming large on the horizon, many are wondering just where former NWA Television Champion Zicky Dice will land.

In a new report from Fightful Select, Dice is hopeful of being offered a spot in AEW when his NWA contract expires today.

Many have speculated that the Outlandish One could wind up in WWE or IMPACT Wrestling, with him having trained with several WWE superstars and also recently hung out with IMPACT’s Doc Gallows.

Instead of WWE or IMPACT, though, this latest story says that Zicky Dice’s promotion of choice is All Elite Wrestling. All three of WWE, AEW and IMPACT are believed to have varying degrees of interest in Dice, and it remains to be seen just big AEW’s interest in the charismatic performer is.

As 2019 rolled into 2020, Zicky put himself on the map in a major way after becoming a must-see part of NWA programming, defeating Ricky Starks to become the NWA Television Champion.

When NWA talent were offered the chance to be let out of their contracts earlier this year, Dice was one who asked for his release, but that request was refused. October saw Zicky drop that prize to “The Pope” Elijah Burke, and Zicky Dice will become a free agent as of tomorrow.
