Since AEW generally doesn't like to release people before their contract is up like WWE regularly does, how can they deal with roster bloat while still signing new people to keep things fresh?
To me, it shouldn't be that hard to deal with roster bloat. You have two 2-hour shows per week and a million title belts. The trios titles are barely referenced. You also have a separate promotion to send people to in order to keep busy. Naturally, some talent will cycle out and if they don't work out, will see their deals expire.
How do we make Sheamus vs Ishii happen?
I honestly think it will happen. The size difference is going to be startling to some, though. But I do think the match will happen, and I think it will be incredible based off that size difference and the story that they'll tell. I don't think Sheamus is done at all. It's not gonna happen until the fall at least.
Since Jack Perry resigned with AEW does that mean Anna Jay will as well
She's still under contract as of now, and has shown up to work whenever called upon. I think ultimately she lands back in AEW and as a part of the tag team division with Tay Melo. However, I also think that she's a perfect fit for NXT, and the kind of talent Shawn Michaels would love to book. I think she's going back to AEW though.
