It’s going to be interesting to see where a lot of the AEW guys end up as their contracts expire. Say what you want about their product, the one thing they can’t guarantee is exposure on the level of WWE. A name I was thinking about earlier is Kenny Omega.

AEW 4 lyf, right? Now they’ve got a bunch of bigger names and arguably better workers (even if you like Omega’s style). Danielson, Punk and Joe spring immediatelty to mind. And Omega’s style seems to clash with Punk’s “Bret Hart” philosophy.

Omega’s deal is up in early 2023. WWE can drape a Rumble debut, a match with Styles at Mania, a big program across the summer and then talk about bringing Jericho in for Hall of Fame induction and retirement match against Omega at Mania 40. If Omega has concerns about going in, a program with Styles and Jericho tentatively laid out could ease that. If you believe WWE really wants to rip the soul out of AEW, they can make these sorts of promises.

I don’t think anyone in AEW is actually safe from their tendrils now they’ve got a taste for actually giving AEW guys big stage moments.
