So, some latest news has reached me concerning AEW’s wrestler lineup having had some major changes everywhere. Guess what? My thoughts on the occurrence are as follows.
AEW appears to have let go of some wrestlers including Grayson, Kuret and Henry for instance.
Well, I am not a specialist in wrestling but Grayson was among the initial roster members of AEW. He joined when AEW came into existence in 2019 while he was still part of Dark Order.
On the other hand, there is Kuret who also did Spanish commentary and even stepped into the ring at times.
Lastly there is Henry who used to be part of The Workhorsemen tag team and seemed like he had potential especially since Tony Khan, AEW’s CEO as per reports was reportedly his fan before he died.
The departure of these wrestlers is quite sorrowful especially since they were part of the AEW family for considerable time. It makes me wonder what factors went into their release.
Perhaps, AEW wanted to change things or prepare spots for fresh talents. It’s hard to be certain without being backstage.
What’s fascinating is that these releases followed AEW signing some huge names like Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, and Mercedes Martinez. And boy those are exciting news.
These are first-class wrestlers coming into the AEW team. But also it poses questions in my mind if there could be something more about these releases than just ordinary performance appraisals.
I assume every corporation has changes right?
And after all, AEW is still a young company established only few years ago. Thus maybe they’re still trying to find themselves out as an organization that expands and grows.
That’s like when you build something from scratch, you make some moves, try some things out and sometimes you have to adjust along the way.
I hope one day these wrestlers will get new opportunities other than this. Wrestling is their heart, and I believe they will keep following their dreams wherever they are. Sometimes, it is difficult to let go of something you love but in reality, it is a new beginning.
I shall continue supporting all the wrestlers young and old at AEW as a fan. It’s all about the excitement in the matches, narratives with plenty of suspense and the relationship between followers and actors within wrestling. Regardless of whatever happens that’s one thing that never changes.
AEW’s roster changes are just part of the journey towards what? What lies ahead for the company and its wrestlers? But one thing’s certain, I will be watching as my favorites perform, cheering on them and every minute enjoying myself.
So here’s to professional wrestling! Cheers to AEW; cheers to its wrestlers.
Let’s see where this roller coaster takes us next.
