5 Reasons AEW Should Sign Cesaro AEW (& 5 Reasons They Shouldn’t)

10. Reason He Shouldn’t: Roster bloat

Since cutting ties with Kip Sabian, Miro has been absolutely phenomenal in his run as “The Redeemer”. He’s been brutal between the ropes, p*ss funny on the mic and over with fans, but, having recovered from injury, is now waiting for a return plan.

Getting stuck in catering because “creative has nothing for you” is one of the reasons so many guys were fed up in WWE. Now, as AEW’s roster expands, particularly with top-level talent who should be presented like stars, they’re running into some of the same problems. As impressive as Brian Cage can be, news that Tony Khan has extended his contract is frankly bewildering. The guy hasn’t been used in months.

It was great to see Tony picking up guys and giving them work during the pandemic, particularly as he used most of them really well, but as things opened back up he needed to slow down. Some people have of course been too good to miss but that’s far from always the case.

Wrestling is these guys’ livelihood and it’s not fair to single anyone out as a guy who Tony Khan shouldn’t have hired but if he had been a little more selective over the last six months or so there might be more room for Cesaro now.
