Colt Cabana's future appears to be in Ring of Honor.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Cabana has signed a new contract, something Matt & Nick Jackson pushed for. Rather than continuing to perform in AEW, however, the 42-year-old is expected to be part of a re-launched ROH brand if and when that happens. This may be due to the longstanding issues that exist between Cabana and CM Punk.

"Colt Cabana hasn’t been on the show for a while as he is earmarked for the ROH group if and when that starts," wrote Dave Meltzer.

"This may be in some form be related to his issues with C.M. Punk. Cabana was signed to a new contract which was pushed for by Matt & Nick Jackson, and worked the ROH PPV show, but has not been at any of the AEW tapings since his new deal was signed."

The issues between Punk and Cabana stem from a defamation suit WWE doctor Chris Amann filed against the pair in 2015. Cabana then filed suit against Punk in 2018 claiming they had a verbal contract that Punk would cover Cabana's portion of legal fees they incurred. In 2019, Punk filed a countersuit against Cabana and the two sides settled out of court that September.

Cabana performed on the Supercard of Honor pay-per-view on April 1, defeating Blake Christian on the pre-show. He has not wrestled a match in AEW since an episode of Dark taped on March 4.

CM Punk: “Doesn’t matter if your opinion of your coworker is positive or negative. Stand with them. Because they’ll do the same thing to you and you’ll wish someone helped. Trust me. You’re expendable. Together you’re unstoppable”

I feel like he'd probably slot in better in ROH anyways. I look forward to seeing what he does.

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey here, can you clarify?

Didn’t realize he was 42.

Smart move on his part; ROH is probably the only way he’ll get consistent TV time.

He's still a thing?

Go back to JCW and be something.
