BEEF hasn’t appeared on AEW TV since November 2024, but the wrestler has been keeping busy. He regularly appears on the independent scene in the Midwest and southern United States, both as BEEF and as Gnarls Garvin. The wrestler also remains active on social media, where he has spoken up regarding his mental health as well as his desire to work in arenas once again.

“I’m going to become the professional wrestler I always wanted to be,” BEEF wrote, using all capital letters. “Not something made for me. I created BEEF, I die by BEEF.”

While he has yet to be brought back for an AEW or ROH return, there is some demand for another appearance, and it’s somewhat related to a play on words involving his name. One AEW fan on Reddit suggested a tag team that would bring together BEEF and The Butcher, and the wrestler himself commented on the thread. BEEF thanked his fans for their support and assured readers that he was working hard to make his return to their TV screens. While BEEF did not comment on the prospect of a tag team with The Butcher, in wrestling, anything is possible.
