PWInsider.com has confirmed the following AEW talents were released today:
-The Tate Twins aka Dalton Castle’s Boys.
-Anthony Henry.
-Stu Grayson.
-Gravity.
-Dasha Fuentes.
-Slim J.
-Parker Bordeaux.
-Jose The Assistant.
-Jora Johl.
In speaking to several sources, we are told AEW is currently evaluating their talent roster and making cuts to benefit both the company and the talents. The belief is the released talents would be 100% free agents immediately.
We are told this was likely the complete list of talents who were cut today. No word if additional names will also be released.
I was wondering the same thing, why in the middle of a fucking storyline? I’m led to believe these are complete releases, but some of the dirt sheets keep using AEW releases, I’m wondering if maybe they are still on a paid-per-appearance deal with ROH, if not, WTF is going on here? First, the PPV is no longer exclusive to B/R, and now sudden talent releases after being told he wouldn’t do that, it’s all so strange to me.
I just got lucky on that ball, I was trying to piece together the WM weekend cards from the various companies and the story popped up.
What I learned, there is going to be wrestling from 11AM to after Midnight everyday staring on Thursday… and some of these crazy bastards are wrestling 4-5 times in two days. Crazy.
WM weekend these last few years have been so goddamned stacked its unreal. I keep watching for Speedball to see how many he does, last year he did 10.
