Tony Khan outlines AEW's selective approach toward new signings
Summary

Tony Khan, President of AEW, discussed the organization’s current strategy for signing talent amidst a wave of WWE releases. Speaking with Roar Around The Ring, Khan emphasized that AEW is being more selective due to a high level of competition among existing wrestlers. The recent debut of the Motor City Machine Guns, a prominent tag team, highlights a continuing interest in top talent, although AEW will not pursue every notable WWE release in the future. Additionally, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are expected to join AEW once their contracts expire, potentially facilitating high-profile matchups.
