Earlier this week, All Elite Wrestling released several talents from their contracts, and all of them immediately became free agents.
During the ROH Supercard of Honor media call, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the company releasing several talents. Khan stated that sometimes they have to make tough decisions. Khan added that he’s expanding the budget to sign more free agents for the company.
AEW President stated that Brandon Tate and Brent Tate were released due to not appearing for the shows on multiple occasions. Khan also stated that he would rehire Anthony Henry after he recovered from the injury.
“One of the things that has come up is Anthony Henry. He’s somebody who’s done great work in ROH. I really like Anthony and his team, The Workhorsemen. Anthony got injured on an independent show… Any time anybody gets injured here, I feel responsible, and when it happens on the independents, it’s a challenging gray area. I’ve had a little bit of time to reflect and think about it. Anthony’s gonna be healing up soon, and I’ve thought about it. Anthony’s gonna come back to AEW and ROH when he’s cleared, which is gonna be pretty soon, and I think we’ve worked something good out. So I’d like to have Anthony back in AEW/ROH.”
