AEW Roster:What We Know

[kingoftheindies]

So As we are days from Double or Nothing, I thought it would be worth reviewing the AEW roster as we know it. This doesn't include any names yet to be announced, nor does it include people just announced for the Battle Royal. These are people with confirmed contracts. Yes I am going to cheat and go in alphabetical order from website

Male Roster
Adam Page
Angelico
Brandon Cutler (just confirmed on BTE)
Chris Jericho
Christopher Daniels
Chuck Taylor
Cima
Cody
Darby Allin
Fenix
Frankie Kazarian
Jack Evans
Jimmy Havoc
Jungle Boy
Kenny Omega
Kip Sabian
Matt Jackson
MJF
Michael Nakazawa
Nick Jackson
Pac (Maybe?)
Peter Avalon
Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy)
Sammy Guevara
Scorpio Sky
Sonny Kiss
Trent Baretta

I would not be shocked to see Ace Romero or Luchasaurus from the Battle Royal get contracts as in Cody's own words they are on a Hoss Hunt for big guys.

Women Roster
Allie
Bea Priestley
Brandi Rhodes
Britt Baker
Hikaru Shida
Kylie Rae
Leva Bates
Nyla Rose
Penelope Ford.

Commentators
Alex Marves
Excalibur
Jim Ross
Alicia Atout

Not including the backstage people or refs, just the talent and the people who we will be hearing the most.

So barring some surprise announcements/future announcements what are the thoughts on the known roster?

The male roster is pretty strong. Think they could use more women, though they are supplementing their women's roster by working with women in Japan. Sadie Gibbs just returned from injury, and she's someone that's been rumored for All Elite. I think she could be a big breakthrough star for them, and she's someone most fans don't know yet. I don't know how often Bea Priestley is working with them, but they do have some kind of deal. Bea just officially joined the Stardom roster, won their top title, and said she's moving to Japan and working their full-time.

Good, strong roster, but a little light on heels, especially if Pac won't be there. We need a few more true bad guys to round it out (hoping Moxley signs, maybe Stu Bennett and Jake Hager are in too).

Sadie Gibbs is joining, she has her last UK indie show at the end of June.

Feels like a really strong roster, and one that can always be supplemented with one-offs and job guys, which I'd say would make for a solid approach. They've made a lot of good moves here with some names, some unknowns, and I think they're really gonna have something special here.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Sadie has a great look and a strong personality, and can pull off impressive high flying moves like the Sasuke Special that you don't see a ton of women doing. I think she could go far in wrestling. I think there's a natural feud with Bea based off their supposed issues from Stardom earlier this year.

It’s weird. I find his YouTube Vlogs very entertaining, but every match of his I’ve seen has just left me cold.

Did like what I’ve seen from Ricky Starks, though.
