What’s Next for Brian Pillman Jr?

Brian Pillman Jr is reportedly finished with All Elite Wrestling. Fans noticed he’s been removed from the AEW roster page online. PWInsider confirms that Pillman Jr is finished up with the company for now but the door is open for a return. 

I like Pillman Jr but could use some more developing and seasoning before becoming a polished product. It takes wrestlers years to become a full blown finished product. He’s shown flashes and I think his ability to tell a story is coming along. Although he has a ways to go technically. Although he can absolutely work on that. 

I liked when he had that small feud with MJF. Pillman Jr clearly isn’t on his level but he doesn’t need to be. The son of a legendary wrestler that fans loved who was taken away too soon is a great story to tell. I didn’t think they fully capitalized on that. 

Fans have also said they should have paired him more with Brock Anderson, the son of Arn. We saw it teased but never fully realized. Which is a shame because I think they would have worked as a babyface team similar to Pillman’s dad and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Brock should have been part of the Varsity Blondes team with Arn as manager. I think Brock Anderson would have been much better than Griff Garrison. 

What’s next for Brian Pillman Jr? Will he go to WWE or will he head back to AEW? I suggest going to Impact Wrestling to continue to hone his skills and develop. I think there’s another gear that he can hit. I’m hoping at least. If you watched The Dark Side of the Ring on his dad, you saw the struggles this guy went through. Struggles he had to go through without his father. I promise you that if you watch that, you’ll have no other choice but to root for him.
