Daniel Garcia recently confirmed that he re-signed with AEW. New details have now come to light regarding his future in the company.

Daniel Garcia is one of the most entertaining stars on the AEW roster. His rise to fame came after being associated with the Jericho Appreciation Society.

Jim Cornette previously suggested that Daniel Garcia should stay in AEW

Daniel Garcia's AEW career has been a topic of hot debate in recent months given his rising popularity. Many critics have speculated on what would be the best course of action for him.

Speaking on his The Experience podcast, Jim Cornette suggested that Garcia would be better off re-signing with AEW:

"From what I've seen of Mr. Garcia, if I was Mr. Garcia I'd take Tony's money. Now if Garcia in five years is a big star and I am not talking about if Tony is still around, I am talking about as a big star in this business probably in WWE to be a big star in this business then I will... you can play me the tape of those words and I'll cut up the tape and eat it on the air."
