The multi-time world champion has not been seen on TV for almost eight months. The last time he was around, he ended up dropping the ROH World Championship to Bandido at AEW Dynasty in a Title vs. Mask match. In the meantime, he has been focusing on some of his projects outside the ring. But time is running out as his contract is set to expire by the end of the year.
