Interesting Note On Clauses Included In AEW Contracts

Just like the other guys. There are a lot of wrestling promotions in the world today but WWE and AEW get far more attention than anyone else. That is due to a variety of reasons, but their star power is very high up there. Both companies have stars that fans are going to want to see and it turns out that both of them have the same policy in order to keep those wrestlers around under certain circumstances.

WWE has a policy that the contracts of injured wrestlers are allowed to be extended in the case of injuries. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW wrestlers undergo the same situations if they are injured, as their contracts have the clause included. There is no word on if any of the currently or previously injured AEW stars have had their deals extended in this way.

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that might not be the nicest sounding thing in the world but it makes sense from the business side. It isn’t fair to AEW or WWE to sign a wrestler to a multi year deal and then miss a good chunk of time when they are injured. If nothing else, that would be a way to get paid without having to work if your injury is suddenly a lot worse than expected. These clauses might not sound great, but they are necessary for some protection.

What do you think of the clauses? Which injured AEW star does the company need back the most? Let us know in the comments below.
