During an interview with GV Wire, Former FTW Champion Brian Cage discussed working on independent events and if he would be wrestling for any during WrestleMania week.

He revealed that he is booked for CVC show in Fresno that weekend and also revealed Tony Khan would rather talent not do anything during WrestleMania weekend as he doesn't want talent affiliated with WWE.

“‘Oh dang (the card show), that’s WrestleMania week,’ but actually, because of the AEW contract, we’re actually not…[Tony Khan] would rather us not doing anything WrestleMania weekend because he wants AEW not to be affiliated…everything happens WrestleMania weekend around WWE. He doesn’t want anyone to look like AEW is beneath WWE. Technically, I had a bunch of stuff I could have done out there, but I can’t do it.”

Cage is expected to return to AEW television soon.
