10 Biggest Missed Opportunities From AEW So Far

The decision to fire anyone in the current environment, particularly an international employee who can’t physically attend work, is morally objectionable. Tony Khan is the son of a billionaire and money has been spent on bringing in new stars recently, with Matt Cardona making appearances and men like Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks getting recent full-time gigs.

During this health crisis, parts of AEW’s budget also went to Mike Tyson’s appearances, income that could have been used to ensure the security of its talents’ jobs. Yet, apparently it was essential that management fire a woman who can’t make it to the United States, at a time when her ability to make money is more limited than ever.

While Sadie Gibbs was not the only person to be let go - Jimmy Havoc was released after sexual misconduct allegations and Bea Priestley is in a similar situation to Gibbs - this release stings particularly hard because she’s the exact type of talent that AEW prides itself on promoting.

Gibbs is a hard worker with a limitless amount of potential and a distinct presence on camera. Despite a lack of major experience, Gibbs was improving every time she appeared on Dark and had impressed in appearances for Stardom. Releasing her and refusing to invest in her promise is deeply disappointing.
