AEW star upset with Chuck Taylor's situation

AEW star Rocky Romero recently had an interview with FightFul Select, where he discussed Chuck Taylor's potential retirement. Romero was upset over the fact that the Best Friends star wouldn't be able to wrestle again.

"He’s been good for so long. Some of my favorite work that he’s done was when he was in PWG. The Parking Lot Brawls the Best Friends have done have been iconic in AEW, but it’s unfortunate to not see Chuck be able to do even more, and I don’t know if we ever will," he said.

The recent Parking Lot Fight against Trent Beretta was Chuck Taylor's first match since October 2023. His last match before this took place on October 04, 2023, episode of Rampage, where The Best Friends and The Hardys battled with Angelo Parker, Daniel Garcia, Jake Hager, and Matt Menard in a winning cause.
