Ace Austin hasn’t wrestled a single match since losing to Ricochet on August 14, 2025, and now the former TNA star is addressing his absence—without really addressing it.On September 26, Austin fired off a cryptic tweet that’s only added fuel to the growing fan theory that AEW has already tossed him aside. Here’s the tweet in full:“Always an Ace up my sleeve. Patience is a virtue; you must know how to play the cards right. It’s not a game of chance when you make your own luck. Not if.. but when. #INEVITABLE”The post comes more than a month after Austin’s debut loss, and fans have noticed the pattern: a big debut, some buzz, and then nothing. Many are now calling him just another one of *“Tony’s toys”—*talents AEW signs, pushes for a week, and then quietly shelves.Austin had just finished a six-year run in TNA and signed with AEW immediately following his match with Ricochet. He even explained on Unrestricted that joining AEW felt like a natural next step, saying the company’s presentation reminded him why he fell in love with wrestling in the first place.But the hype didn’t last. After that first match, Austin completely vanished from television with no follow-up, no storyline, and no explanation.Now, fans are reading between the lines of his post—especially the phrase “Patience is a virtue”—as a sign that he’s either frustrated or still hoping for another shot. Either way, the damage may already be done, with AEW viewers openly questioning if Austin was ever more than a brief experiment. Only time will tell.Do you think AEW fumbled Ace Austin already?
