Kenny Omega, “Hangman” Adam Page, and “The Young Bucks” Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson are staying with AEW. Omega and the Jacksons will continue to serve as executive vice presidents. AEW released the news via a Justin Barrasso story at SI.com, which has quotes from Tony Khan the four wrestlers.
Powell’s POV: Although no specifics regarding the new deals were announced, Khan noted that the group will be with AEW “for years to come.” Nick and Page’s comments were forthcoming in that they both spoke about the schedule playing a major part in their decision to re-sign with the company.
Ignoring the sure-to-be-coming “NO MATTER WHAT AEW DOES I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE” mark comments, I’m glad they are staying. AEW just needs to get someone to start coming up with on-going storylines and it’ll engage the audience, as the MJF-Cole saga is proving.
I’m sure Cornette is doing flips right now.lol
Tragic news, my thoughts are with all wrestling fans.
I don’t mind Omega by himself. Was praying the children and page would go. But in reality I knew the E would only have serious interest in Omega.
Sad.
It’s always a smart move to take 4 guys who have been shown to cause people to turn off the TV consistently over the course of years and resign them to the same positions.
