AEW has really shot itself in the foot. This is what I’ve been talking about as mindless dolts get on me for rooting against wrestling or for the WWE or whatever. They only had a finite window to do this thing in. Now the young guys that can be stars are going to go to places where they can actually be stars. Soon the older talent is going to leave after being paid a cool couple of million and do their own ego projects or go back to Vince. AEW is going to be left without some key identity players. There will be no way for it to make back the money that has been sunk into it. Pulling the plug will make total sense.
This is what you asked for.

Depending on what they’re talking about here, people leaving is something that really needs to happen.
If it’s coming up to the end of the first set of deals and it’s more Janela’s leaving then that can’t be a bad thing in terms of “trimming some of the fat”. If it’s some bigger names, then again it’s going to create some space on the roster.
The roster is far, far too big to be serviceable and thinning it out will help refocus.
Obviously if it’s bigger names such as “The Pillars” or more of the EVPs it’s bad optics/more damanging for the brand overall.
