Komander comments on reported interest from WWE/AEW

[Chris]

Komander says he is humbled by the interest he's received from major wrestling companies in the United States.

The 24-year-old was interviewed by SI.com for an article released on Wednesday. He spoke about his match on Dynamite last week as well as reports that both AEW and WWE are interested in signing him.

“It’s very humbling to hear that people want to know where I’m going next,” says Komander. “That is a huge honor, to be spoken of in such a manner. I came from nothing. I had absolutely nothing. I did this because it is what I love to do.

Dave Meltzer addressed Komander's situation last week in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer noted that the luchador is currently under contract to the KAOZ promotion and it is unclear how this would impact his ability to sign with another company.

Meltzer wrote:

"Komander actually is under contract with the KAOZ promotion in Mexico and not sure how that would impact his ability to actually sign with WWE or AEW. But he couldn’t sign with either right now without the approval of KAOZ."

Meltzer would also say that Komander is "very much" on WWE's radar. SI.com would report that WWE had already reached out to him before his appearance on AEW Dynamite last week.

Komander made his AEW debut in the Face of the Revolution ladder match. At one point, he walked along the top rope like a tightrope before diving onto his opponents on the floor below.

“It is difficult, and I understand the risks, but that was my chance to show I belong in the major leagues,” says Komander, who, according to sources, has drawn significant interest from AEW and WWE. “That was my shot to let the world know that Komander is here.”

AEW had actually hoped to have El Hijo de Vikingo in the face of the Revolution Ladder match last Wednesday. Tony Khan then asked for Komander after being told Vikingo was unavailable.

Oh my, Vikingo in the ladder match would have been insane. Hopefully gets to show up in AEW at some point, the crowd would love him.

Komander couldn't have possibly had a better showing to get signed by a major promotion in the future. He nailed everything perfectly.
