It felt inevitable as AEW did nothing but add and add to their roster that it was only a matter of time before some talent realized it wasn’t exactly the greener pasture they thought it would be coming in. Both because the roster is extremely crowded and only getting bigger, and also because Tony Khan seems to be poor in the area of course-correcting when something goes wrong. Booking through Malakai's physical issues was one thing, but then Rey Fenix gets hurt and he basically puts the entire angle on the backburner with vignettes for months on end because he wanted the big Trios match blowoff, rather than just trying to wrap it up with the talents available and then move everyone into fresh programs.
At the end of the day, talents might be getting paid fair market value but that doesn’t mean they’ll all be happy getting stuck in catering just as often as they were at their former employer.
