They’re in. The AEW roster has been one of its main strengths since the company was founded about four and a half years ago. This has included a variety of wrestlers who have come and gone over the years, though there has been a core group who has stuck around for the duration. Now it seems that they will be staying around for a long longer than expected.

Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Elite (Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks and Hangman Page) have all signed new multi-year deals with the company. The deals were signed this week before the 200th edition of Dynamite, which is set to air this week. All of their deals had been expected to expire in the next year though there is no word on when exactly the four of them would have been able to leave. There had been rumors of some or all of the group jumping to WWE when their deals expired.
They’re a valuable quartet. Check out the four of them in action:
Opinion: This is quite the boost for AEW, as the Elite are as central to their roster as anyone else. It makes a huge difference to have them around and now it is even better to have them secured to new deals. AEW would be in a very strange place without them and now that is not something they are going to have to worry about for quite the long time to come.
What do you think of the signings? What is next for the Elite in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
