I think a part of that is they are getting rest/nothing for them so they're just in catering. Like how sami has been off tv for the past few weeks but has been doing live events. Same with cesaro.
I remember some peeps wanting wwe to have an off season so stars can rejuvenate themselves. Well they've kinda, somewhat, sorta been doing that
.
That is the biggest juelz. I guarantee 80 percent of the people that just disappear from TV, are not just resting, are do not want an off-season if everyone else is not in said off-season and on tv doing shyt...
This happens on both companies to be fair though, it's just that if it's mid-card or below in AEW they can still work Darks (which is equivalent to house shows in the E).
People forget both shows only a couple hours, and everyone has to take a turn, it's just with WWE they have serious continuity issues, and never finish angles lots of times. With AEW, when a dude is stepping aside for someone else to shine on TV for a couple months, you can clearly tell their angle has finished. In the E, sometimes they just disappear off tv.
