As per the reports, this young star and son of a WWE legend has left AEW on friendly grounds with Tony Khan.
The former AEW star in question is Brock Anderson. Brock happens to be the son of WWE legend Arn Anderson, and the father-son duo was signed with the All Elite promotion. However, Brock parted ways with the promotion and was later removed from the roster page of Tony Khan's company as well.

Furthermore, the report also suggested that Brock garnered some interest from the Indies, which eventually led to his exit. As per the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Tony Khan didn't renew Brock Anderson's contract.
