AEW launched in 2019 to become an alternative product to WWE. The company has now become a favorite destination for free agents. In the past few months, Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, Deonna Purrazzo, Mariah May, and many others became members of the AEW roster.
Last night, one of the hottest free agents in pro wrestling, Mercedes Mone, joined Tony Khan’s company at AEW Dynamite: Big Business.
In an interview with TVInsider, Tony Khan stated that his company has become a popular destination where top stars try to join. Khan added that they have the best roster in pro wrestling today.
“When we launched AEW, it was the first time in many years that so many resources and such a strong roster of wrestlers have come together to form a new challenger promotion. After five years, AEW is now stronger than ever before. Our roster continues to get deeper and better. This has become a popular destination that top stars seek out. This is the perfect time to continue expanding and growing…
Now we have what I believe is the best roster in pro wrestling today. There are still so many great stars out there we are always looking to add and strengthen the group. I think we will continue to try to strengthen whenever we can add someone’s skills to make AEW better. I think that constant innovation and the perpetual strides toward always wanting to get better are a big part of the spirit of AEW.”
