10 AEW Nightmares That Could Come True In 2024

10. AEW Signs Even More Wrestlers

Take a quick glance through the AEW roster page on Wikipedia and you'll be scrolling for ages. The sheer volume of pro wrestlers on Tony Khan's books is staggering, and that's just the full-timers. Other floaters, such as Will Ospreay or one-off workers like Mistico, aren't included.

Signing more talent would be ridiculous at this point.

AEW can barely find time on programming for all of the wrestlers they already have, so it'd be something else if Tony dipped back into his wallet and stumped up cash for another round. Dynamite, Collision, Rampage and ROH can't accommodate everybody, and that's just the way it is.

Wrestling promotions rarely learn from history though. WCW loaded the roster to excess, and WWE has been guilty of the same several times over the decades. AEW is falling into a similar trap. This might sound harsh, and no fan wants to see anybody lose a paying gig, but would you notice if a good 25% of the workers were cut? Probably not.
