Several AEW Wrestlers Pushing Back Against Taking Losses on TV
Ringside News • • technology
Key Points:
- Some AEW wrestlers, particularly in the midcard and Don Callis Family group, are reportedly reluctant to take losses on television, with some even refusing to be pinned despite having no wins this year.
- Certain wrestlers prefer being pushed in Ring of Honor rather than appearing on AEW Dynamite only to lose, indicating a preference for stronger positioning over mere TV exposure.
- Established main eventers like Will Ospreay and Hangman Page are more willing to lose matches as their status is secure, unlike lower-card talent who fear that losses could jeopardize their future in AEW.
- The reluctance to lose is tied to concerns about contract renewals and job security, with some lower-card wrestlers uncertain about their standing and hesitant to damage their stock by consistently losing on TV.
- This backstage tension highlights ongoing challenges in balancing individual wrestler interests with storytelling needs, raising questions about how much control talent should have over their booking decisions.
