In what has been a developing story, as confirmed by PWMania.com, several wrestlers, including the Motor City Machine Guns, Aleister Black, Zoey Stark, Kairi Sane. More, entered free agency on Thursday, July 23, after their 90-day non-compete clauses with WWE expired.
At least seven wrestlers are currently “waiting to be put pen to paper” by AEW, as per Jake Jeremy of the Wrestling Observer. Adding to the story, the report indicates that it is still unclear when these deals will be finalized or who the wrestlers are. Notably, it does not specify whether these talents are one-time WWE Superstars.
Additionally, one source mentioned that there “may be more” wrestlers involved, but they can only confirm seven at this time. Jeremy additionally noted that there could be plans to add more talent to the combined AEW-ROH collection of stars in the coming days. It's worth noting that this information follows a statement from AEW President Tony Khan — who mentioned during a new media call that he is closely monitoring the free agency market.
