I'm just glad they've finally realised that Sammy Guevarra should never happen. And I assume the only reason that Darby is not on the list is because he might just not return from Mt Everest because Darby by all accounts is aleverything you wanted from the "pillars"

I'm just glad they've finally realised that Sammy Guevarra should never happen. The lack of MJF is more interesting, whether it simply indicates that he's on the injured list and won't be returning to the world title scene immediately due to the Cole feud, or if there's any non-kayfabe doubt as to his future as a headliner in AEW. Well technically, MJF in kayfabe world hasn't said he's resigned with them yet. Not that anyone believes that or anything.

The whole "Bidding War Of 2024" thing got sidelined by both his face turn and his injury. I am amused that like no one, even in WWE, thinks he's actually a free agent now.

I mean a company built around these 6 in the main would be an amazing one. Just need a couple of strong promos to round it out (obviously Page, Swerve and I'd argue Garcia can talk).

I mean, in all reality, once his contract is close to up and he’s available to have discussions, there’s no way WWE doesn’t send out feelers. I’m not sure how much they’d need him to change to fit their brand (if that’s even a thing anymore with HHH booking) but I’m sure they’d be interested regardless just given how high on the card he’s been in AEW. I feel like the list is more like the next batch of guys they want to make marquee players and not necessarily replacements for the guys currently on top.

The thing is from all reports, even WWE apparently thinks he already re-signed with AEW long-term and this whole "free agent" thing is kayfabe.

I’m inclined to agree, as the whole thing would make AEW and Tony Khan look like major idiots if he did in-fact just jump over after such an angle.

I continue to be baffled that they've chosen Daniel Garcia but NOT Lee Moriarty. I also find it interesting Wheeler Yuta isn't on this list.
Daniel Bryan went out there and made it his personal mission to turn Garcia, Yuta, and Moriarty into stars. Yuta's in the comfortable role of "in a heavily featured faction but forgotten by the bookers" role that 75% of the AEW roster is in, Garcia was chosen from on high.... and Moriarty's forgotten.
