H2: What happened on AEW Dynamite
Ahead of the January 7 AEW Dynamite broadcast, Renee Paquette told fans that JetSpeed—tag team partners Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey—had been “viciously attacked” and were medically cleared out of a scheduled trios tag match. The camera then cut to Ricochet and Don Callis, who argued over whether the assault was a bounty or a gentleman’s agreement.
Callis took over the segment and teased the arrival of a former TNA talent. He introduced the man as Jake Doyle, better known to fans as Jake Something. The exchange strongly implied Jake Something and Mark Davis were responsible for taking JetSpeed out of action, setting up a fresh rivalry with Ricochet and Gates of Agony.

H2: Contract status and background
Reports indicate Jake Something’s contract with TNA Wrestling expired in December 2025, and earlier accounts suggested the two sides had not reached a new agreement. The on-screen reveal and AEW’s social clip have led many to conclude that Jake has signed with All Elite Wrestling, though AEW had not formally confirmed a contract at the time of the segment.
H3: Jake Something’s TNA/Impact history
Jake Something (Jake Doyle) first rose to wider notice competing for IMPACT Wrestling from 2017 to 2022, and he returned to the promotion in 2023. He made an in-ring return at Slammiversary, taking part in an Ultimate X match won by KUSHIDA. His departure from TNA and sudden appearance in AEW closes the loop on months of contract speculation.
H2: What this means going forward
The segment sets multiple storyline possibilities: a feud with Ricochet and Gates of Agony, a rivalry with JetSpeed once they recover, or an alliance with Mark Davis. Don Callis’ involvement suggests AEW could position Jake Something in an important mid-card role quickly.
Short-term, fans should watch AEW’s official channels for confirmation and any follow-up promos. WrestleZone’s live coverage of Dynamite provided immediate reaction and match updates during the show.
H4: Bottom line
Jake Something’s surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite ends months of uncertainty about his future and signals a potential new chapter on AEW television—if the company confirms his signing, expect a push into angles connected to Callis, Ricochet, and the factions already on Dynamite.
