Dutch Confirms The Righteous Signed Deal with AEW & Rumor of The Righteous Being Part of Wyatt 6 Group in WWE
A recent episode of the Developmentally Speaking podcast featured Dutch as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Dutch confirming that The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) are currently signed to contracts with AEW.
“Everything’s going great, couldn’t be better. We’re officially signed with AEW now. So, yeah, it’s a big deal. Big deal for us and we wanna create something that people haven’t seen in a long time. I know we’re gonna be getting comparisons to The Wyatt Family and all this and that but, everything’s been done already and there will never be another Bray Wyatt. Nothing will ever compare to him or his creativity or the way that his brain works. Nobody will ever be like him ever again and like I said, we’re always gonna be getting the comparisons but the stuff that we have in mind for our future is brand new and exciting stuff and some fun stuff on the way hopefully.”
Dutch also gave his thoughts about the rumors of WWE having plans at one point for himself and Vincent to be part of a Wyatt 6 group with Bray Wyatt during their brief time in the company.
“I don’t know if we’ll ever know (if there was any truth to the Wyatt 6 group). But, definitely seemed like it was leaning in that direction. Definitely seemed like it was leaning in that direction and I think it would’ve been great. I mean, we were down there in NXT for a week or so back in December and yeah, the ball seemed to be rolling at the time and then it kind of just got stopped for whatever reason. I mean maybe it was the illness that he had, whatever, I’m not 100 percent sure. I don’t know if we’ll ever know but, it was definitely a possibility… Oh yeah (it was Wyatt’s idea). We talked a lot about ideas and stuff and all that and never came to fruition but, the ideas and stuff that — it was being thrown around. It was being thrown around.
Like I said in my Twitter post, I don’t think that I would be in the position that I am now with AEW if it wasn’t for him and we created that buzz on social media for X amount of months whether it happened or not, like I said, everything happens for a reason. So I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him right now so…”

AEW All Out 2023 News & Notes
Fightful Select reported that their sources stated that AEW officials never had any serious talks for a potential battle royal match to be part of the card of their All In event at Wembley Stadium. It was reported that the reason why AEW had booked a battle royal match for the following week’s All Out 2023 event instead was due to easier travel for talent since most of them were already in Chicago for that weekend’s Starrcast convention.
Ricky Starks reportedly was kept in the dark by AEW officials over who would be his opponent for All Out 2023 until this past Saturday, according to Fightful Select.

It was reported that it is currently not known if AEW officials have made an official decision regarding Perry’s ring name in the company.
