Gunns could literally go back to Impact you know they would welcomed back with open arms but I wonder if AEW would be a better place for them if not New Japan.
They are big Scott D’Amore guys. Especially Shelley. I’d imagine with him long gone from the company they don’t hold the idea of a return in the same way as they would if he still ran it. I’m betting AEW.

Looks like the Wyatt Family may be done. If I’m Lumis, I’m a little worried.

Hate to see people lose their jobs
I bet Lumis could catch on with TNA if he wanted. That’s where he started a loooong time ago. And they have Indi Hartwell which makes for an easy storyline start.

So... is the 90 days non-compete clause still the usual? If so... all of them are available a month before All In. :hayden3

Now I expect them to release Rusev since all the other recent AEW rehires are gone.
Now wouldn't that be kinda funny to see... :uhoh

Black is an interesting one. Not because I think hes interesting but because he’s clearly one of the people being talked about when guys like MJF mention the egos being removed from AEW. He spent a long time being a headache and I mean…maybe Tony would bring him back but boy it seems like he shouldn’t. And I’m sure he’ll see TNA as beneath him. May have to go to Japan for work tbh.

Zelina confirmed it on twitch and also said fuck you to the dude who reported it for not letting her announce it herself

While I'm not disregarding the chance MJF also meant Black with that "Egos being removed from AEW", I think the chance is higher he meant guys like Punk and Rusev. ...unless I'm completely getting the timeline wrong there.

Fuck WWE for releasing Kairi and MCMG. I hope MCMG go kill it in AEW now.

I couldn't imagine choosing to release Kairi.

Black was rumored to have a back rash for 4 years that prevented him for laying down.

MLW has finally started offering contracts again for the first time in years so I wonder how many of these peeps Court will snatch?
