It’s a big year for AEW President Tony Khan as he looks to keep some of his biggest stars under contract, especially after the departure of Cody Rhodes last year, who has proven that a talent from AEW can jump ship to WWE and have a fair shot of success.
Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks are now in this spot where they will have to decide whether to stay with AEW, a company they helped launch in 2019, or jump to the rival promotion.
As previously reported, Omega’s AEW contract would’ve already expired if not for the time he missed last year to heal various injuries. Time has been added to that deal. Now, all three deals are slated to expire later this year.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that AEW wants to sign them to new deals before becoming free agents.
Meltzer wrote, “AEW is working on signing the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega to new long-term deals well before they become free agents”
The Elite recently lost the AEW Trios Championships to the House Of Black. They’re slated to take on the Jericho Appreciation Society and House of Black next week on Dynamite with the titles on the line.
