That first story was the definition of a nothing story.

I don’t see kenny and Cody leaving but people like Brian cage may leave as he hasn’t been used for a while and even then hasn’t done much. I can think of a few people who may leave aew

[letterstc]

Bucks, Cody & Kenny wouldn’t leave. Financially they are set up the best being paid as wrestlers & paid as executives in the company

[godsfighter]

being a fan of john morrison since i was a kid, it really hurt watching his instagram video hearing how wwe treated his release

[moopert]

John Morisson deserves so much better than being the Miz's goofy sidekick.

Manfred man is probably the most famous version of blinded by the light but it was actually bruce Springsteen who wrote and recorded the song in its original form

[StressfulMusicOfficial]

Wow, they got Bear Country to host a news show? That's pretty cool

[Tcrror]

I highly doubt Cody and Kenny are leaving.

[jacobcraft]

I could see some of the enhancement talents leaving AEW but deffently not Kenny Omega & Cody Rhodes

[cheezeofages]

The backstage change iirc wasn't that drastic a change as wrestlers do have a measure of creative input either way. It was just more of a "I'm the final say" kinda thing.

Some of John Morrison best work was on lucha underground. With his faction worldwide underground. Where he was kind of a heelish character. First 2 seasons of Lucha Underground was nuts! equal opportunity arse kickings all around!

If what Vince says about wanting younger talent stays true . Lance Archer is over 40 ., Brian Cage has a couple years before 40., they aren’t going to WWE. I think Jack “Jungle Boy “ Perry will sign another contract with AEW. MJF he’s hyping himself up as the next big thing ., this is interesting.

Cody could use the resign in a storyline, as the fans are kinda turning on him. Punk 2.0

[greghughes]

In totally unrelated AEW news, Joey Janella will soon be taking independent bookings.

[robertbarrow]

Gotta be the most random misleading tittle I have ever seen lol

[michaellee]

At this rate we need a live stream of the Xmas party

[armnhc]

That’s as click-baity a headline that Cultaholic has ever used…you can even tell that silhouette is of Kenny Omega. What rubbish, everyone knows damn well those 2 aren’t going anywhere, especially since they’re EVPs or whatever.

[jjohnwords]

Only Brian cage I could see going. He doesn't seem happy. Joey Janela could leave but WWE won't want him.

Kenny and Cody going nowhere playbwai. That's pretty much their project along with TK

[derkdillon]

Cody and Kenny both work on the upcoming game project no reason for them to leave

[dcaslick]

Omega signed a 4 year deal so he’s locked in until 2023 and Cody I believe signed a 5 year deal, so he’d be locked in until 2024. Neither of those deals are slightly eminent. They’re also executives which means they’re employees, so unless they lose those jobs they’re not going anywhere. Also all the EVP’S are working on other things outside of Creative like Omega working on AEW Games.

I also find it amusing that you call AEW’s roster “bloated” and that some of their talent is bound to leave for WWE. WWE who has over 200 wrestlers under contract compared to AEW’s 120 or so.
