10 Wrestlers Who Could Leave AEW In 2022
2. Marko Stunt
While Marko will never be for everyone, AEW has generally done a good job in how they've used him. Effective in his roles as a squash match murder victim and as Jurassic Express' mascot, the diminutive 25-year-old is never presented in the credibility-shattering way his biggest critics claim he is and has lost the overwhelming majority of his singles bouts, going 3-15 since signing in 2019.
Only one of those wins, by the way, came against a full-timer.
And that was Michael Nakazawa.
At the time of writing, Stunt hadn't wrestled for AEW since September. On top of this, he no longer appears alongside Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus with any degree of regularity. Christian Cage's Jurassic Express affiliation coincided with Marko vanishing, even as the mascot, with Dave Meltzer writing the following in the 10 January 2022 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:-
Marko Stunt hasn’t been on the show for a while. It was even more notable when Luchasaurus & Jungle Boy won the tag titles and he wasn’t brought in. He is still under contract and being paid and AEW is trying to be different from WWE is not releasing people who are under contract unless it’s for disciplinary reasons. But there will be people not renewed when their deals come up if they aren’t being used. This isn’t to say he’s one of them, but his never being used while his group just won the titles says something
If his initial deal ran for three years, Marko may not be long for AEW's world.
