Next one down? There has been a lot of turnover on the AEW roster in recent months as the company has brought in several new starts to take the places of some of the company’s originals. This has not included many wrestlers being outright released, but it has included some contracts expiring and not being renewed, meaning that the two sides can go their separate ways. That seems likely to be the case again in the next few weeks.
According to Fightful Select, Marko Stunt’s AEW contract expires in May and there is nothing to suggest that the two sides will continue working together. Stunt has not appeared in an AEW match since September and he has not been backstage at Dynamite in months. Stunt did begin taking independent bookings again in January and has been appearing on the independent circuit since.
Opinion: I don’t think this is much of a surprise as Stunt has not been around for a long time in AEW. He certainly has a fan following, but right now that does not seem to matter in the company. AEW has grown a lot since Stunt became a regular for them and he might not exactly fit in with them anymore. Hopefully he finds somewhere to go, which should not be hard given the talents that he has.
What do you think of Stunt? Where would you like to see him go next? Let us know in the comments below.
