As wrestling promotions look to add talent at the beginning of every year, WWE Superstars sign contracts of varying lengths. The expiration dates of those contracts also vary, as some can expire in the second half of the year.
AEW’s growth over the last four years has made those contract situations even more important. The Jacksonville-based promotion is a viable alternative but may not necessarily book every star the same as WWE. Some, like “Timeless” Toni Storm and Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose, get booked atop the card.
Others, like Keith Lee, Andrade El Idolo, Shawn Spears, and Ruby Soho, formerly known as Ruby Riott, experience inconsistent booking. Several current WWE Superstars have deals ending in 2024.
