REVEALED: Why AEW Have Made So Many Signings Since The Beginning Of 2026

All Elite Wrestling have made a number of signings since the beginning of 2026 and Jake Doyle, Andrade El Idolo, Zachary Wentz, Myron Reed and Dezmond Xavier of The Rascalz, Mascara Dorada, Persephone, Alec Price & Jordan Oliver, Zayda Steel, and Tommaso Ciampa have all inked contracts with AEW this year. Tatevik, VertVixen and Maya World also signed with AEW in late 2025, and Clark Connors is expected to sign with Tony Khan's promotion following an appearance on Collision.

AEW aren't done with signings, though. Fightful Select has reported that AEW are still expanding their roster, and further additions will be made to the women's division "fairly soon." A number of talents are already signed to the company, although they have yet to be made public.

This isn't a sign of All Elite Wrestling having more TV time, though, and Fightful noted it is simply a case of AEW freshening up the roster. Several wrestlers have exited the company since the beginning of 2025, including The Righteous, Powerhouse Hobbs, Rey Fenix, Ricky Starks, Malakai Black, Miro, Mercedes Martinez, Mariah May, Matt Taven, Alex Abrahantes, Abadon, Leyla Hirsch, Saraya, and Zak Knight.
