Chris Hero is currently working for All Elite Wrestling, but the well-travelled independent veteran hasn't wrestled for the company.

At least not yet.

Speaking about his potential in-ring AEW future during a recent appearance on AEW Restricted, Hero said:

"The thing is, it's never that I didn't want to wrestle for AEW, it's just I realized how complex and vast the company is. I wouldn't be satisfied with just doing a one off thing, whoop, I'm here, I'm there. I would prefer to do something with some thought put into it and that builds for the future. Also, I've been out of the ring for three and a half years, I gotta get my head right, I gotta get my body right. Those were my conditions, and [they said], yeah, no problem, we need the help and we'd like your help specifically, so let's work on a deal and we'll get you on every Collision except for when you have West Coast, and then maybe you make it up on a Dynamite or an extra pay-per-view or something. So far, so good. It's been a lot, I haven’t been on the road this much since maybe even before I went back to NXT. It's been a challenge to hit the road hard again, but it's been great, everybody's been wonderful and appreciative but also understanding. I got to Full Gear late because of travel. That sucked, I didn't like that, but it still worked".

The 43-year-old recently wrestled his first match in over three years (for West Coast Pro), defeating Timothy Thatcher on November 17.
