AEW trimming the roster
PWInsider reports AEW is currently evaluating their talent roster and making cuts to benefit both the company and the talents.
The list of the first ever set of AEW releases are:
Stu Grayson
Dasha Kuret
The Boys
Slim J
Anthony Henry
Gravity
Jose the Assistant
Parker Boudreaux
Jora Johl
To add, all releases are free agents with no non compete clause. So they can shown up or sign anywhere as soon as tomorrow.
So much for the second coming of Brock Lesnar.
It will also be interesting to see how Dalton Castle goes over without the Boys, given that they’ve been part of his shtick for so long.
Even Dasha Kuret?
Parker, Jora & Slim J I totally understand.
Dasha, Jose & Anthony Henry I don’t.
The post on social media yesterday were truly something. The same people that complained AEW had a bloated roster were upset at Tony Kahn for releasing wrestlers. At least they don’t have to sit at home and do nothing for 90 days.
As far as “the boys” go I wouldn’t be surprised if they hire local talent per appearance.
