Anthony debuted in All Elite Wrestling in 2021, losing to Eddie Kingston on an episode of Dark. He worked alongside JD Drake on the tag team WorkHorsemen. He wrestled plenty of matches for the company in 2022, mostly in its Dark series. However, he received some mainstream spotlight when the star wrestled on the Collision and Rampage shows the following year. In addition to the Jacksonville-based promotion, he wrestled in ROH, too.
His AEW release was reported by Fightful earlier.

However, things took a dark turn when he broke his jaw during a match with Bryan Keith at an independent promotion DPW National Title in March this year. Due to injury, the star hasn't been active since last month. His last appearance was on Rampage, where he lost to Penta El Zero Miedo.
As of now, no news has been reported about his tag team partner, JD Drake.

Tejas has been an AEW writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2021. Possessing a degree in Food Processing Technology, it was his brother who introduced him to Sportskeeda, and he has never looked back since.
Tejas’ writing style is analytical and descriptive style, mostly sticking to statistics. He believes in thoroughly checking all statistics and information before using them in his articles to ensure his readers get nothing but the best and most accurate stories. He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.
His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.
In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
