Speaking with Self Made Pro Wrestling shortly after the announcement, Stewart clarified that both his NJPW and STARDOM agreements are full-time contracts.
His updated NJPW contract is reportedly set to run through January 2029, whereas his STARDOM deal extends to June 2027. Meanwhile, his engagements with AEW will operate strictly on a per-appearance basis.
Stewart further revealed that AEW audiences can anticipate seeing him approximately once or twice a month, contingent upon his availability.
The play-by-play commentator has been affiliated with NJPW since 2023, becoming a staple of the promotion’s English-language broadcast team. He has simultaneously continued his efforts with STARDOM to help expand its English-language commentary and content offerings.
Stewart recently made his return to the AEW commentary booth, calling the action on the September 5 episode of AEW Collision. He had previously confirmed that multiple additional appearances for the promotion were slated before the year’s end.
