Last May, the AEW met its first snag with the announcement that PAC would finally not be part of Double Or Nothing. Unofficially, the fact that he was champion of the Dragon Gate was a drag because the Englishman refused to lose, thus going against the AEW’s plans.

Except that since today, PAC is no longer champion of the Dragon Gate. The former WWE wrestler lost his open the Dream Gate belt to Ben-K in a show that also saw the return of the legendary Ultimo Dragon in the promotion.

Without this belt, nothing seems to prevent an appearance of PAC at the AEW, especially since the Young Bucks had indicated that the door remained open to him.
