Private Party, the dynamic tag team of Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen, may be set for a return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) television following a period of inactivity. The team has not been seen on AEW programming since losing the AEW World Tag Team titles to Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin on January 22, 2025.
Speculation about their future intensified in June 2025 when reports indicated that their AEW contracts were nearing expiration and that WWE had shown preliminary interest in signing them. Recent insights from Fightful Select clarified that both Kassidy and Quen remain under contract with AEW, although the timelines for the expiration of their deals differ. The report suggested that fans could expect to see Private Party back in AEW before any potential move to WWE.
After their title loss to The Hurt Syndicate, Private Party’s activity in the ring has been limited, with the team participating in only one match since that pivotal moment. They made an appearance at the House of Glory pay-per-view event, HOG City of Dreamz, held at NYC Arena on March 15, 2025.
Trained by wrestling legend The Amazing Red, Private Party first captured attention in AEW when they debuted at the promotion’s second event, AEW Fyter Fest, on June 29, 2019. Their rise to prominence culminated in a spectacular victory over The Young Bucks to claim the AEW World Tag Team titles on the Fright Night edition of Dynamite on October 30, 2024.
As fans eagerly await their return, the developments surrounding Private Party’s status highlight the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling, where contracts and opportunities can shift rapidly. The prospect of their return not only excites their fanbase but also speaks to AEW’s commitment to fostering homegrown talent. The wrestling community watches closely as the situation unfolds, anticipating the next chapter for this talented duo.
