Colt Cabana Reportedly Permanently Working Wednesday Nights As AEW Dynamite Producer
All signs point to Colt Cabana working with AEW on a permanent basis once again, although definitely not on Saturdays.
It was reported Thursday that Cabana was backstage during Wednesday's "Dynamite" broadcast. Now PWInsider Elite is reporting that not only is he now working Wednesdays, but he will be serving as a coach and producer. Part of this is nothing new, as back in May Cabana made it clear that he was contracted to AEW both as a producer and wrestler.
However, this does leave questions pertaining to Cabana's in-ring career. He last appeared for Ring of Honor in April, losing to Samoa Joe in a match for the ROH World Television Championship. Last November, one month after "Brawl Out," Cabana challenged for the ROH World Championship and ultimately lost to Chris Jericho on "Dynamite." However, ROH's weekly programming is currently being recorded alongside "AEW Collision," the current TV home of CM Punk.
Certainly, moving Cabana to Wednesdays exclusively points to the idea of AEW wanting to keep Punk and The Elite separate. After all, it was previously alleged that members of The Elite believed Punk asked to have Cabana removed from AEW.
In any case, The Elite has yet to appear on "Collision." Kenny Omega and Punk were kept separated backstage during the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view. And now, Cabana is only working Wednesdays.
