Dralistico's AEW Deal Expiring In December 2026

Dralistico has suggested he could soon be on his way out of All Elite Wrestling, and that certainly looks to be the case.

Dralistico took to X/Twitter this week and posted an AI-generated image of himself behind bars along with the caption: "Maybe not for long?"

Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer has since reported that Dralistico's AEW deal is due to expire in December and the presumption is he wants out of the promotion.

The 34-year-old made his AEW debut in December 2022 and he signed with the promotion in October 2023. Dralistico has only worked 51 matches for AEW/ROH, however, with 34 matches in All Elite Wrestling and 17 in Ring of Honor. The luchador has primarily been booked in tag team or trios matches as part of La Faccion Ingobernable, although he hasn't wrestled at all in AEW/ROH since June 6, 2026, when he, RUSH, and Sammy Guevara unsuccessfully challenged The Conglomeration for the AEW World Trios Titles.

Dralistico's AEW run has been hampered by injury and heat on the luchador. There was heat on Dralistico after he stomped on Richard Holliday following a squash win for LFI on a November 2024 episode of Rampage despite Holliday being legitimately checked over by ringside doctors at the time, which resulted in AEW not booking Dralistico until February 2025. Dralistico was then absent from AEW from November 1, 2025, to March 7, 2026, due to undergoing surgery to resolve an ear issue.

Prior to joining All Elite Wrestling, Dralistico competed in CMLL from 2012 until 2021 as Mistico II. He is the brother of RUSH and Dragon Lee, with RUSH happy in AEW, while Dragon Lee has put pen to paper on a new deal with WWE.
