AEW Seems To Release Three Wrestlers

So long, farewell and goodbye? The AEW roster is one of the most stacked in all of wrestling right now, with some veterans, rookies and others in the primes of their careers. That can make for a very nice mixture of stars and matches between them, but at the same time some changes have to be made at times. It seems that AEW has parted ways with some names, with at least one confirming such a change.

The Coronavirus pandemic has caused a lot of issues with the wrestling world, especially when it comes to international wrestlers. This has been quite the problem as several wrestlers have not been able to get out of various other countries, meaning that they cannot get back to work in the United States. Some of the international AEW names seem to be finished with the company, possibly as a result.

AEW has removed Sadie Gibbs, Bea Priestley and Jimmy Havoc’s profiles from its websites. Gibbs has since confirmed that she has left the promotion and also suggested that it was due to the travel restrictions due to the Coronavirus. Priestley has been stuck in the United Kingdom since the pandemic began. Havoc has been missing from AEW since June, when he was named in the SpeakingOut Movement, with AEW saying they would evaluate his future with the company.

Afraid so. Due to circumstances

Currently as for everybody it’s a difficult time. And I completely understand the the reasons behind the release. I’m grateful for the time I had I just wish I had more time to showcase my character. Everything will work out. I have my health. ??during this time that’s important

The women had a lot of potential. Check out what they did in their time in AEW:

Opinion: I can’t say I’m happy with this but I also can’t say I’m surprised. Right now, it isn’t clear how long it is going to be before the UK talent is allowed to come back to the United States and AEW can’t keep paying the wrestlers while they can’t work. Havoc is a different story, but he hadn’t been around for a good while anyway. Hopefully the women can be brought back later, as they both had some serious potential.
