Blake Christian has been a consistent presence on Ring of Honor programming over the past 12 months, and has also made quite a lot of appearances on AEW television wrestling the likes of Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, and Ricochet. Nonetheless, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the “Vanilla Baby” was now not featured on each AEW and ROH’s official roster pages, causing some fans to invest that Christian’s time with the corporate is likely to be over.
That will not be the case as Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has reported that despite not featuring on the AEW or ROH web sites, Christian continues to be firmly under contract with AEW and ROH and has been working with a deal for a while. With that said, no word on how long Christian has been under contract, or when that contract may expire, was given to Fightful. A lot of the speculation was actually put to bed almost immediately because it Christian ended up appearing on the February 21 episode of “AEW Collision” alongside his partner in The Swirl, Lee Johnson, where they faced off against The Young Bucks in a losing effort.
Before putting pen-to-paper on a take care of AEW and ROH, Christian was a mainstay in GCW where he held the GCW World Championship for close to 1 12 months between 2023 and 2024. The “Vanilla Baby” has massively scaled back on the quantity of independent shows he has taken for the reason that start of 2025, only making three appearances for GCW in 2025 together with his most up-to-date being in June. That may all change in March as GCW have confirmed that Christian might be making his return to the corporate on March 14, and Christian will even be making an appearance on the Mark Hitchcock Memorial Show over WrestleMania 42 weekend as he and Johnson will face former TNA World Tag Team Champions Subculture.
