Yes, the matches are cool, but that’s precious TV time you could be using to tell stories or feature more of the talent you actually have under contract. It’s only been made worse by the occasional one-off matches with talent outside the company such as New Japan’s Tomohiro Ishii and Minoru Suzuki, AAA’s Aerostar & Samuray Del Sol and the Motor City Machine Guns from Impact. That’s because there have been plenty of issues with how AEW’s attempt to sell ROH to TV execs has trickled down to television time available to rest of the roster. If none of that happens, does AEW president Tony Khan start not renewing contracts, changing his creative, streamlining how much ROH content is on AEW shows or drop the brand altogether? The two can’t be married this closely forever, can they?
The other way to make things better - but probably not totally fix things - would be for AEW itself to gain some more TV time, whether it be a second hour of Rampage with an improved time slot or a third show either on cable or an HBO Max-level streaming service. That’s also working under the assumption ROH gets weekly TV worth writing home about, not stuck on a channel no one can find or a streaming service no one cares about. (Sort of like when WCW had plans to make “Thunder” a WCW show and “Monday Nitro” the nWo show in the late ’90s.) And that may not happen until 2024 when AEW’s television-rights deal is up. Something’s got to give eventually in AEW because the current structure doesn’t feel sustainable.ĪEW’s roster looks set up to be able to support both its own brand and Ring Honor if and when ROH gets some form of weekly television back. By comparison, WWE has around 97 in-ring talents signed to the main roster with five hours of television each week and 10 main-roster titles, including the 24/7 belt. And that’s not counting those also appearing regularly such as a Willow Nightengale, who isn’t officially “All Elite.”ĪEW also has 15 titles that could appear on its programming if you count the Ring of Honor belts, all three of FTR’s tag team championships (but somehow not the AEW ones), and Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo’s Lucha Libre AAA mixed tag team championships. The company currently has three hours of true weekly television between Dynamite and Rampage - not counting the quarterly “Battle of the Belts” shows - with around 125 in-ring talents signed, per their official roster page.
