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.

Letting contracts of people who have not been on tv in a year does nothing to alleviate the problem on too many people, not enough TV. They had 50 wrestlers compete at the PPV.
50, that's not even counting everybody else who was there. Add in the managers and debuters and commentators, and that is over 60 people jammed onto one PPV.
Joey Janela not getting renewed is not opening up a spot for somebody else. The Forbidden Door PPV is likely to have half NJPW people, so even if they throw out the same number of matches and people, 25 AEW wrestlers are getting left off the card.
They need to cut a lot more than just trimming the fat off, they need to cut half of the roster before there will be any meaningful room to grow.
