Bea Priestley and Jimmy Havoc no longer have bios on the AEW Roster page.

Edit: Maybe more? Sadie Gibbs no longer listed either.

Havoc was a matter of time with all the things being said about him. Didn't people like Bea? She's a bit of a surprise.

I dunno what Bea's contract situation between AEW and Stardom was - her appearances were pretty spotty pre-pandemic although they started to tease a feud between her and Nyla right before the shutdown, so maybe she would have had a serious run here. Either way, between travel restrictions and her having other options I'm not really surprised by them parting ways for now

We're all doomed
Bea was only on a part time deal to start with and since she lives outside of the US she won't be able to work for them for the foreseeable future anyway.

STOP DOING HEROIN
The assumption all along was that they would get Havoc through rehab and then quietly let him go (apparently he's planning to retire from wrestling, though nobody was going to book him again anyway).

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those people (not Jimmy) show up again but their contract ran out at a bad time and didn't get renewed

edit: the real crime is Anna Jay hasn't been updated to have her mask instead of her hat.

Sadie’s tweeting that she was released rather than a contract run out.

I wonder how many people like me watch on Fite. That surely inflates their numbers and brings in extra cash. Plus iTV in the UK. So they're doing even better than just the USA demo stuff

Sadie had some really bad luck. She was due to move to the US and start training with QT before covid hit.

It seemed like they let her take her time finishing up her job in England before fully committing to coming over, which in ideal circumstances is a good employer thing to do, but I can definitely see why TK didn’t want to keep that rolling all things considered.

PAC is probably safe, but could see Shanna get cut if they’re not done yet.

Yeah, I think they'll keep PAC and Riho (especially Riho since she'd be snapped up by STARDOM), but could absolutely see Shanna getting cut. This should free them up to hire Tay, Rachel, and Nicole though.

Riho is a freelancer, I'm saying she'd likely be signed full-time by STARDOM if AEW lets her go.

drat, I really liked her. :( But you're right. She even had a whole "I nearly got stuck in Europe forever and could never live my dream until AEW" storyline, and now... Well.

Maybe the reason for AEW's lower ratings was because it was tag appreciation night. :smug: Tag teams don't draw, brother.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Unrelated, I wonder if stories are gonna come out about how hot it was in that ring under the lights and with the Florida heat/humidity, it being like the Inferno matches, especially that first one.

this is probably the logistically easiest and best move. especially if you can move guys that dont really have a spot in aew to hoss it up in Noah or DDT, get some of the greener women into TJPW....yeah i think this is the direction they should go in for japanese partnership
